Once again you get your money out of yeti and k2 on durability. A Coleman ain't lasting 10 years unless you rarely use it and baby it

They didn't start making Yeti until 2006. So how can you say they will last 10 years?

And its certainly not going to make it 10 years when somebody snatches that jewel out of your truck.

No doubt they will last 10 years. Have had my 65qt for 6year, it never stays indoors! Been in the sun it's whole life thrown around neglected. My 120qt Coleman extreme got used twice in a year and stayed out in the shop... Lid warped and won't hold ice very long anymore.. Use it to haul shrimp from behind the weirs now... Lol

Lol ok. I know quality when I see it. Come back in 3 years and you can tell me how I was right. What a joke...
Also I chain it in so unless they have bolt cutters, torch, or grinder then it should be ok. If they want it that bad, get after it

I dont debate the fact that yeti or k2 coolers are worth every penny. They are built tough and should last a lifetime with reasonable care. They just arent for everyone . A hardcore guy would be servered well by one. Weekend warriors like me it will likely never pay off. I freak out people all the time when I tell em I paid 7k for my tool box and it was empty. Spend what you want and be happy.

Couldn't agree more. Not everyone needs one nor would I try to talk someone into one. It's a lot of money but you will get what u pay for. And to say they won't last 10 years is just comical. As long as it doesn't get stolen I would not doubt that in 30 yrs I'll still be using that yeti that I bought when I was 26. To justify a yeti purchase by saving on ice is comical as well. But justifying it as you aren't replacing an ice every two years is a pretty sellable argument in my eyes. That's why I got one cuz every year I was buying a new box

Its not the saving money on the actual price of ice, its the convienence of not having to leave the house or camp and constantly keep grabbing ice all weekend from the store. Thats a 30min ride at my deer camp. So maybe that makes me a lazy sob but thats me. My time is worth more than my money on the weekends.

No doubt i'll have mine in 10yrs.

Doesnt make you a lazy sob at all. At least not in my eyes. If it works for you and you're happy to hell with everyone else is what I say. No matter if you're a coleman guy or a yeti guy. Do your thing and enjoy your time. We only get to do this once. Good fishing and God Bless not matter what cooler you use.

75 qt yeti stays on the bow of my 17' aluminum boat. To hold fish and at a minimum add some weight and help with the porpoising. Seriously

Deer season I take it to the deer camp and can fit 2 deer quartered easily with light ice. When I get home pull the plug and keep ice on it for another 5 days to cure.

I use my regular ole igloo for everyday stuff though.

I keep a 20qt K2 (purple and gold) in my truck stocked with icy beverages at all times. Going to get a 50qt Yeti for the bow of the boat.

Cause it looks cool to stand on it to fish

No modifications to that awkwardly wide cooler either.

The way you have to lift those things makes it feel heavier than it should.
