- YETI coolers have become a status symbol in the United States. The expensive, high-tech coolers range between $200 and $1,300. The technology used to make the coolers, combined with a highly effective marketing campaign, has made YETI a popular lifestyle brand that also makes apparel, drinkware, and even pet products.
------------------------------------------------------
Following is a transcript of the video:
Graham Flanagan: YETI is known for its expensive coolers that have become a status symbol in America. This is their most expensive, the 82-gallon Tundra 350, that retails for $1,300. Since the company was founded in 2006, YETI has become an iconic brand. And they make a lot more than just coolers. Drinkware, apparel, and even dog bowls.
But the coolers are what they're best known for. Like the popular Tundra 35 that retails for $250. But you can get a comparably-sized cooler from legacy brands like Coleman and Igloo for around $40. Why are YETI coolers so expensive? There are two pretty simple answers: technology and marketing.
The Austin, Texas-based company was founded by the Seiders brothers: two avid outdoorsmen who felt there weren't any coolers on the market that kept their catches, kills, and beverages cold enough for long enough. They teamed up with a factory in the Philippines to create a cooler that they described as indestructible, with superior ice retention.
Their first cooler hit the market in 2006. If you were serious about keeping your catches, kills and "brewskies" as cold as possible, you needed a YETI.
Fisherman: Whoop. Don't worry it's a YETI.
Flanagan: So, how do they work? The cooler's shell is made of a common plastic called polyethylene with a process called rotomolding, which uses high temperature and low pressure to create one piece of hollow plastic. Rotomolding is also used to make kayaks. The shell is pressure injected with up to three inches of commercial-grade polyurethane foam. And that's what keeps your beers, I mean, that's what keeps your catches and kills cold for so long.
The coolers feature a full-frame, freezer-quality gasket that seals around the entire lid to minimize air exchange. And I can tell you from experience, they work. But are they worth the high price tag? I asked on of those questions on my Facebook profile, and the responses were mixed.
"Definitely."
"They're heavy AF." They are heavy.
"No."
"There are cheaper brands that work just as well."
There are some rotomolded YETI competitors like Orca, OtterBox and RTIC, that are slightly cheaper, but still comparably priced. None of them have been able to create the brand phenomenon that YETI has seen.
In October of 2018, YETI went public when they filed an IPO on the New York Stock Exchange. And the company's market cap is now estimated at $1.5 billion.
So, how are YETI coolers able to carry that high price tag? Marketing. Highly effective marketing. And their campaign to ramp up the population of YETI nation is just getting started. The company recently hired the former head of marketing for Calvin Klein to be its Chief Marketing Officer. And the company's effective use of the all-American, rugged, outdoor lifestyle keeps customers coming back for more.

Why YETI Coolers Are So Expensive | So Expensive
Damn for 1,300 you can literally buy a new fridge lol
@MOTH I would rather get a new fridge than an iphone
A samsung smart fridge, lol

Don’t tell them that. They’ll make a $25k fridge.

No one: "How many coolers did you sell?"
Yeti: 6
They did 900 million$ in sales

Maybe Yeti contacted the guys who develop a technology that keeps beer ice cold below zero degree celsius and we stil have the patent...
It ain't because of technology. I design and engineer this stuff 10 years ago and that yeti box is no different to what is standard coolbox from 10 years ago... It's all marketing!!
Raymond Par why you gotta be so loud for ???
Raymond Par, exactly
Actually there’s a huge difference from a 35$ Coleman than a yeti. Injection molded and better insulation and seals.
Either sell 10 coolers for 100$, or sell 1 cooler to an idiot for 1000 dollars. Whats harder? (selling 10)
100%. Look at, “what’s inside”. There’s $6 of more materials for all that extra cash. Nonsense.
Rubber gasket $0.50
Done.
Just boosted your cooler’s insulation by maybe 50%

Reality: In a competitive market, all savings must be passed onto consumers.
Yeti actually doesn't have crazy high margins even on a $1300 cooler. Rotomolding is just that expensive.
They'd cost $5000 a piece if made in USA.
Instead they can pay people in the Philippines $5/hour and that's considered a very good wage there.
$1200 for a chest cooler, it better come with high quality cold storage, a 2 year warranty, and $900 in cash.
It comes with a 5 year warranty.

im betting you. that plastic shell and the foam they use inside costs AT MOST 4$ to make. thats an awesome marketing department right there.
@Matt P Thing is, once the molds get going, USING them is cheap as hell. That is literally why the tech is so prolific. TS is very likely to be right if we don't take into account the cost of tooling being purchased and maintained, and even then a single box wouldn't cost that much to make considering the mass-production of them. No, most of the price here isn't the box-making, it's the brand name.
it costs tens of thousands of dollars to make any real industrial machine, that's not what determines price.
Says the guy who puts the $ after the amount. Did you ever make it out of high school?
@James M what are you talking about? Rotomoulding is MUCH cheaper than injection moulding. Much cheaper.
@James M and that expensive roto mold payed for itself in the first week.
There’s no way Yeti didn’t pay for this, it’s straight up an add.

Your resource material was Facebook?
Fools, i have a vacuum insulated titanium cooler with a flowing liquid nitrogen system.
BUT.... Its not a YETI !
Greg Fakerson its a joke. Who’s the real idiot
I bought a ~$100 Igloo extra wide cooler from Costco (as wide as my F-150) and went camping for seven days. My blue ice packs I purchased from Wal-Mart were still frozen at the end of my trip. I can’t ever see myself going camping for more than one week at a time so this is perfect for me.
This video was sponsored by YETI ;)
I’ll stick with my $40 Coleman and spend the rest of my money on guns and ammo.
Damn this is the most american comment i have ever seen
@@wh2681 yea lmao i was boutta say dat
Don’t forget your bald eagles! ;)
Don’t forget your fast food
@@FullMetalJacket99 our greatest export smh
I used to think yetis were dumb af but then my climbing team got sponsored by them and we got a bunch of coolers for free. They were great for keeping food cold on 10+ day camping trips and allowed us to safely store perishable items. I don’t know if their priced fairly but they definitely work.
Same here. Got a tumbler and a cooler and I love them both. Overpriced? Absolutely. It’s all marketing. But they work and my wife and I use the cooler pretty frequently and it’s held up and performed fantastically.
After our old cooler failed to keep food cold enough for 1 1/2 days in 85' weather, 17 miles from town and fresh ice, we decided to invest in a Roadie 24. The quality and design was a factor in choosing it over a cheaper RTIC or an Igloo BMX. I'm sure marketing themselves as a Prestige brand has a lot to do with the price, but I think they do live up to the reputation of "you get what you pay for".
You can get cooler with the same performance at 2 to 3 times lower price. Yeti is not worth it.
@@drister007 no you literally can’t. If it’s Toto molded it’s gonna be expensive either way and if it’s not rotomolded it’s not gonna be near as good as a yeti
@@joeydunn1867 No, you are wrong. YES you can. Look at the tests. There ARE some cooler that offer same or very similar performance that cost 2 or some close to 3 times less.
You can literally buy an actual deep freezer with freezer grade gaskets for the same price, added bonus- when you get home, plug it in and it will continue to keep your stuff cold
A yeti will keep ice for 10 days. You can hunt and camp for a week in the back country and be fine
@@craigrison007 well I moved from south Georgia to Michigan mid summer with my deep freeze in the back of a baking uhaul for 3 days. Not a damn thing began to thaw. Point is.. "Yeti" is just a new name put on old technology. It's a sales gimmick. That is all.
@@jeffklaubo3168 lmao you didn't even refute my point. You're taking a uhual in the back country on a 5 day elk hunt? That's the purpose of a yeti. To go beyond the normal. You hike the cooler in and carry everything out.... A deep freezer isn't going anywhere near a long hunt.
@@craigrison007 no numb nuts... point was 1) it was 135 degrees in the back of that uhaul and still didnt affect the freezers contents. 2) a deep freezer footprint isnt much over a yeti's so no... you dont NEED a uhaul, it just so happens that that is where it was. 3) a deep freeze is cheaper than that yeti cooler 4) there is nothing special about that yeti cooler, they took 70 year old freezer technology, removed the compressor and ability to self cool, slapped a brand on it and charge you more 5) with the money you save on the deep freezer over the yeti, you buy a 1300 watt power inverter and plug it in and you arent limited at all by its ability to hold ice.
Finally I have no need to refute anything, you replied on my thread. Not the other way around.
@@jeffklaubo3168 learn reading comprehension. I said MY POINTS, I'm talking about the purpose of a yeti, not your deep freezer you keep doubling down on. I have a deep freezer. It's not going on a 5 day elk or mountain goat hunt period.... Reading this post makes me realize you're not an outdoorsman. Every pound counts and a deep freezer is over a hundred pounds and bulky. There's many ways to carry long storage coolers that are light and durable. Hold on let me tie my deep freezer to my bass boat. Hold on let me strap my deep freezer onto my back while we hike 5 miles up this Rocky incline for the final camp. Oh shit my deep freezer fell in water or down those rocks I hope it's okay Lolol. Look up back country hunting.
It's good to know the yeti will hold up if a piano falls out of the sky and lands on top of it.
I do not care how good they are, I will keep my 25$ coleman cooler.
Take a Coleman or an igloo and put a Schrader valve on it and suck the air out of it and now the ICE will last a hundred times longer than any YETI
Well we won't have to worry about Wal Mart going out of business now.
Ya pretty much.
Getting a $2000 ice chest or using extra bag of ice, it's not a difficult choice.
@Some 1poisoned the water hole - Hold my beer
@@saynotop2w For the price of that large cooler, you could buy a generator and a deep freezer and keep your items cold forever.
Why are *insert product* so expensive?
Because enough people are willing to pay the asking price.
Greg Fakerson - Yeah but what the he is saying is that IF there’s no demand for said product then the value would drop regardless of rarity/cultivation. People are willing to pay high prices because 1). People love to flash their cash and 2). People are suckers for marketing.
RTIC is pronounced Arctic w/o the first c.
It's a cooler. You're not going to a war with it so it needs to be bulletproof and bear-ressistant. All you do is put cold drinks and ice in it. Just that.
apparently you dont have rifle-wielding bears in your area
Overseas or in training we use igloo coolers on our tanks bustle racks. So idk anyone need those damn things
I mean ive been camping and my cooler was opened and raided by a raccoon in the middle of the night, so the animal proof part is definitely worth it
Part of the “bear proofing” is that it actually gets certified grizzly bear proof. I can’t say for sure if it’s necessary, but when camping in National parks, park rangers (usually) require you to have a grizzly proof cooler. But there are a lot of coolers around a third of the price that are grizzly certified.
I’ve had the same old Coleman cooler for 20 years, works great.
The yeti is great if you’re going out in the desert or where you won’t have access to ice or a way of keeping cold stuff cold though, for days on end
We have a big 20 year old Coleman Extreme that barely kept 4 bags of ice from melting in only 85' weather for 1 1/2 days, kept indoors. Driving the hour long 17 miles of dirt road to town to get more ice was out of the question for a 3 day trip. Wish we had a Yeti.
Yeti: how to tell if someone is an asshole without speaking to them.
Kinda like a Range Rover.
Soo... how much are yeti stickers? Asking for a friend
They come with all the gear so just get a single can coozie and you’ll get a sticker

The answer is because people are dumb enough to buy them. If you're dumb enough to put free fish in an 1800 dollar cooler you deserve to be ripped off.
Agreed. Unfortunately we're all subject to wanting luxury/status. It's not limited to "fancy" folks. Just a different demographic of idiots buying $1000+ shoes.
Americans LOL
I bet you have an $1000 iPhone hahaha haters
They were marketed for fishermen and hunters that will spend a week out on the water or woods and needed to keep fish or any other game meat cold.
@@serginaru Where are you from? Waiting for any country to reply with ironic comment
Most coolers come with a plastic bin sitting in the thinnest foam you can imagine.. I just remove the bin and line the inside with styrofoam.. put as many layers as you can to be able to get the bin back in. it makes it 10x better! One cooler I had I even super glued a piece of foam board to the inner lid.. foam board from Walmart is about $1.50.. it’s thin so I use about 3 layers.. easy to cut
This felt like a massive advertisement
There’s another video actually testing the Yetis against other brands and the only comparable difference is that the tops are foam filled whereas others are not. So $7 worth of the window and door type spray foam and two drill holes and you’re sorted. Yes their plastic is much thicker but really that just makes them heavier.
My 15 year old Coleman still works just as fine. 😂
My coleman has been passed down from my dad to me 😂 my future son/daughters next
Honestly, they WORK. The only thing I’ve been disappointed in with Yeti is there coffee thermos lids - the one with the magnetic clip at the top. It leaks. But despite that, it still keeps my hot beverages hot and my cold beverages cold for FAR too long, doesn’t make sense lol
The cooler is pretty good but not worth the price. You can get similar cooler with a slight lower quality online for $150.
Lan C bass pro shop or Cabela's make one that looks just like a yeti and they work just as well for 160 or 250 for bigger ones
They work better than any other cooler I have ever seen. Everyone saying they are a rip off is probably thinking of tailgates and picnics, and in that case, they are not worth getting. But if you have one on your boat they can be pretty useful, filling a cooler with ice and refilling it 3 times in a week is pretty impressive and they are extremely good for transporting frozen things. For your average joe, they are a ripoff but for someone who really needs a cooler and fishes, hunts, etc. They are the best in the market.
That's funny because I can take an Igloo cooler and put a Schrader valve on it and vacuum the air out of it and the ice will last for weeks inside of it
@@thecloneguyz that's the point you pay a premium for the convince it's all ways cheaper to do it your self or dig and do your homework but most people would rather just buy and that's it
@@thecloneguyz Sure that works, you can also swap parts on a car to make it perform better or you could buy a higher performance car from the start. The modified car may be cheaper but it is not the original product.
How come you cannot Evacuate the air out of any of these coolers????
Seems to me that would be the number one selling point of any cooler!
When you remove the air anything can last a hundred times longer
@@thecloneguyz Because it's cheaper. Especially since Coleman or Igloo as a brand would have a hard time selling new coolers that are more expensive than previous ones.

Yeti changed the game in cooler. Made other companies go back to the drawing board and make a better product. If you buy a yeti or other brand based off the yeti, in some aspect it’s because of yeti your getting a better cooler for your money.
It's like any high-end brand: it's better than the regular stuff, but the extra price is hard to justify. However, it's also hard to find any brand that is worth the cost in the high-end spectrum. They are all usually overpriced because there is a lack of competition in that spectrum.
The video touched on this at the end: Other brands are comparable in performance but less expensive.
I got an Rtic 145 for $264 while the smaller Yeti 125 is $549. Even if the Yeti does have better ice retention (which most tests reveal isn’t the case!) it’s certainly not worth more than double the cost.
i went with an rtic and ive got no regrets
@@phz7107 I went with the Yeti and have no regrets.
Yeti has a high resale value and if you've got a limited edition colour, sometimes you get more than what you paid for it.
I visited one of their factory here in Biñan, Laguna, PH. during my colleges years and believe me, you'd better buy a Coleman or those 12V cooler and have spare change for beer. It cost $25 to manufacture on of those Tundras they sell. (Shipping not included)

I'm from Nepal and from a newar community, the actual meaning of yeti is " how big or small" size that you show with your hand. Eg: how much rice can you eat? Show by ur hand and say this much (means yeti)

@Cristian Rodriguez I wonder, is it possible that both the $90 Walmart version and the $1,300 Yety version are made in the same factory?
I genuinely don't know, but it is something to ponder.
I bought a Coleman cooler for 10 dollars at walmart, originally 30 but had a broken handle and kept getting reduced, took it home and made one out of about 2.50 worth of scrap about to be tossed and its still holding up to this day!

Spongebob SquarePants I laugh seeing people with these, as they are incredibly expensive. Not overpriced if people buy them though, this cooler market is full of not the smartest consumers. And yeti knows it lol
This guy has crazy eyes I be he putting bodys in his yeti
I work at TJ Maxx and we occasionally get Yeti merchandise like apparel, cups and coolers themselves. People do not pay for the prices and they end up getting marked down so much, they’re sometimes just marked out and disposed of.

Im so proud wow
Bought my Yeti back in 2011 when no other cooler was on the market that could withstand camping out west when it was a 110 degrees outside. Kept my drinks and food cold for 2 weeks just like I needed. Still have the cooler and am pretty sure I’ll have it 50 years from now. Say all that about your walmart cooler.
I bought a used Coleman cooler from the 1970's. It is made form metal.
Nothing beats it.
Todays there are coolers on the market that perform BETTER for 2 or 3 times LOWER price. ;) Yeti cooler is good, but not worth the price (overpriced junk).
They sell these at the North Face Store at Union Square SF, also the most expensive outdoors clothing

I take an igloo or Coleman and put a Schrader valve on it and vacuum the air out of it and the ice will last a hundred times longer than any Yeti
@J G Lmao
@@thecloneguyz Seriously I think you responded to every single comment
@@strangeclouds7
If you call 5 comments every single comment then I can understand why Trump got elected
realized im watching this drinking out of my YETI Rambler, love how cold it keeps my booze for so much longer
Paying for a name, my pelican holds ice 4x as long
We bought a used yeti tundra 110 for $400 in mid 2024 and this thing is a beast. It holds blocks of ice and ice cream and stuff frozen cold while repeatedly opening the cooler over 15-20+ times repeatedly a day on 100 degree days… jus need a sufficient amount of ice and be quick while opening the cooler and doing what you need to do. YETI is no joke it’s the real F’in deal
I bought a cooler
Than I realized I'm single and have no friends
ill be your friend :-)
Only when u give me free beers! Jk
Same
Hate to be that guy but I think you ment then
It’s just like supreme, expensive just because of the name but not worth the price
Damn, is this a commercial in disguise?
Because I want one now...good job marketing team!
As an outsider it feels like Americans make choices based on the how expensive a product is lol
Yeti is secretly owned by Apple 😏
You should make a So Expensive about Hearses, and why they are so expensive.
Fun fact... one of the principal owners of Yeti had his wife walk out with her portion of the profits, and she gets to start her own line of products ASAP
Yeah its RTIC i believe
Lol he said R-T-I-C... bruh it’s RTIC like arctic.. I think..🤨
Well look at you being all brains.
so much talk, and no one thought of putting some ice in that damn thing as well as a Coleman to see which melts first.
So they also make 140 dollar yeti microphones
Yeti microphones are worth it tho
@@christianquinones9347 yep
No! They are made by Blue, they are based in US and currency owned by Logitech
@@sondrejohansen48 i was kinda sarcastic but oke
The cups are pretty nice with the mag lid and they resell the lids. Also they don’t leak like the other brands
This guy sounds like the dude at 4 o clock on Fox
$1300? 😐
😂 That’s the price of a stainless steel fridge. With water and ice dispenser.
*simple answer*
25% because good quality parts
75% status symbol
Me and my familly have each got a YETI cup/mug as a gift. It is so cool because it keeps your drink hot/cold for hours. Here where I live(Croatia) summers are crazy hot and having this cup/mug keeps it cool. The same applies for winter.
Welcome to America: where coolers are status symbols and we have a troll for our president.

I don’t know about the best cooler, my fridge is kinda cool.
Does it fit on a boat.
John Smith yes
These coolers are a quick way to see if a person has credit card debt. Its similar to seeing a big Traeger on someone's porch, one of those 2k kamodo shell grills, a yeti bike on the back of a tesla. Happiness and wealth is how little of this over priced stuff you don't feel you need.
I was lookin around as to "why" Yeti sell a $50 bottle opener.
Finds out they also sell a $250 small cooler 💀💀 smh
EA: I’m so proud of my daughter!
Lifetime and Ozark Trail from Walmart works just as good for a fraction of the price.
Yup, yup. Theres a video here on youtube comparing the performance of various rotomolded coolers and the Ozark Trail did surprisingly well compared to Yeti, despiite being a fifth the price.
Some guy: "I'm rich enough to own a Yeti cooler."
Me: "I'm rich enough never to go anywhere that doesn't have a fridge nearby."
Nobody
I have a yeti and used to have the Walmart version. The yeti works much better, better made and better shape/size. The yeti was about 50% more, but don’t regret it. Also their customer service is great.
There are coolers on the market that perform BETTER for 2 or 3 times LOWER price. ;) Yeti cooler is good, but not worth the price (overpriced junk).
Not every "Walmart cooler will be better afcourse, but there ARE some cooler that offer the sam or better performance for 2 or 3 times LESS money.
