TESTED: Yeti Tundra 65 cooler

YETI coolers burst onto the US market place back in 2006 when two brothers Roy and Ryan Seiders seized upon an idea to manufacture extra-rugged, “grizzly proof” coolers designed to keep ice from melting for longer periods of time.

Yeti’s marketing department has done an amazing job at educating the consumer and explaining the benefits and points of difference in both design and quality of materials that separates Yeti coolers from their competitors. Having some of America’s most well-known anglers and hunters endorsing their products has also helped Yeti’s rocket ship rise and rise in popularity.

Ice retention is what you buy a cooler for and is vital for weekend fishing trips or week-long excursions. Due to all of the known variables that affect ice retention, and because every adventure is different, the team at Yeti believes it is misleading to make specific claims about how long a cooler will hold ice. Investing in education on how their customers can get the best performance from their Yeti Coolers has been approach to gaining a loyal following.

In saying that, I have been super impressed with the ice retention of my Yeti Tundra 65 litre which I have had hold ice for up to a week to date. I also really like the fact that I could have a Yeti in a colour other than white, with the “desert tan” matching the deck colour of my boat. Yeti coolers are currently available in colours being white and desert tan. Yeti coolers also feature non-slip feet and tie down points which allow your cooler to double as an elevated casting platform or seat. I will be installing another Yeti cooler in my new boat which will double as the main seat behind the centre console with flip flop back rest as well.

The key features that clearly separate Yeti coolers from the competition include: extremely durable one-piece, roto-moulded construction made from food grade material that is both dry ice compatible and UV-resistant, FatWall design features extra-thick walls designed to house added insulation for maximum ice retention, ColdLock gasket which minimises unwanted air exchange, locking out heat while sealing in cold, T-Rex lid latches, with patent-pending technology and molded-in keepers, keep your lid securely closed, NeverFail hinge system includes a full-length, integrated hinge that is self-stopping and will not break, Vortex drain system which has a screw-in, gasketed drain plug that allows for easy draining while partially opened and guarantees leak-proof reliability.

Plus many more features that will ensure your Yeti cooler outlast all of your previous coolers!
