45 yeti vs 60 k2 help

[Tete Dur]

I need some help from you guys that have experience with yeti and k2 coolers. I picked up a 45 qt yeti extremely cheap from a buddy. I'm thinking of selling it and making a little money and buying the 60 qt k2 with the money I make off the yeti.

My question is how do you guys think the 2 coolers compare? Is the k2 comparable to the yeti in your experiences? I could get more ice chest with the k2 but is it as good as all the yeti hype? Would I be better off keeping the smaller yeti?

Thanks.

From what I have heard, the K2 doesn't come close in comparison on the length of time it can hold ice or durability. I never owned a K2 but have a 65 Yeti and a 120 Yeti so I am just going off what I hear from people that own K2s. One of my buddies said he put some boiled crawfish in his K2 and it warped. It's gonna be like a shotgun or truck thread though. Whoever has one or the other is gonna think theirs is better.

I got my yeti in 2008....... Haven't had to replace a single thing on it. It's has been abused!! Fell out the boat on road, fell down stairs, even caught it in fire( camp fire and somehow gass was spilled on it and a cigarette was laid on the yeti). It hold Ice and keeps contents extremely cold.
A friend of mine went snapper fishing in destin a few weeks go. He kept his fish on Ice b the yeti for 5 days. Sealed up and didn't open. When he got home and opened it the ice was still there and fish was good and cold! That's proof they work.
I have never used a K2. So I can't compare.
But yeti is my go to for keepin stuff cold.

Was the bear smokin the cig?

Use Yetis when we would go to my lease in SouthWest TX. We had no running water or electricity. Can hold ice for days. We would stay for 3-4 days and put everything we killed in them. Wouldn't get more ice till we were heading back to Lafayette. I don't think a K2 can do that.

Me too!!! It happened so fast; didn't have a chance to get a pic! We were near a river and my buddy kicked it into the water to put out the fire. It didn't effect the mold; still have some dark spots in the lid. But it mostly came off with bleach and a pressure washer.

[Tete Dur]

Sounds conclusive enough. I'm keepin the yeti! Ha. Thanks

I have the 60 K2...and I have a yeti, the yeti is a cleaner fit and finish than the K2...But..I like them both, I believe that they hold ice just about the same.

[jdm4x43732]

I can buy alot of ice for the price of one of them yeti's

Ditto.......

My point of veiw is ole school. When Yeti came out I like most said no way. Well the statement of( thats alot of ice) is true ;but if u don't have a ice machine; that means at late hour's u must go get ice.Yeti has saved me many of these trips. As far as durablity it surpases many and all other ice chest. My closing is if u want hamburger buy an igloo ;if u want Steak buy a K2.Now, if u wanna Porta house buy a yeti, and not make those last minute trips to get more ice.

[Top Dawg]

Sell the yeti and buy a bigger one! Lol. Love my yeti. The thing about a yeti to me is not only the ability to hold ice. It's the fact that you'll never have to buy another icechest. That makes it worth it to me.

[Big Flounder]

You should sell the yeti to me and go with the k2!!!
