In 2006, YETI Coolers was founded with a simple mission: build the cooler that you could use every day if it existed. One that was built for the serious outdoor enthusiast rather than for the mass-discount retailers. One that simply wouldn’t break. Today, YETI products perform when it matters most - whether that be an excursion into the Alaskan wilderness, chasing redfish on the Gulf coast, or just getting together with friends in the backyard.

How Long Will Ice Last In A YETI Hard Cooler?
There are many variables that affect ice retention in a cooler—including ice quality, ice quantity, and the outside environment—so this is a difficult question to answer. In short, this means there’s a lot you can do to affect the longevity of your ice—either positively or negatively.
Because of the lack of an industry standard for measuring ice retention, claims that place a definite time (5, 10, 14 days) are often based on testing conditions and not real-life situations.
True to our word, Tundra and Roadie Hard Coolers are built with up to three inches of polyurethane foam insulation, combined with a freezer-style sealing gasket to ensure a design conducive to ice retention.

Which YETI Drinkware Should I Buy?
To answer this question, we first need to understand the activities you most need a new drinking vessel and then we can tell you which YETI fits into your lifestyle best. From sunrise to sunset, using a YETI Cup, Mug, Tumbler, or Bottle keeps your much-needed hydration by your side—no matter where you find yourself.
For base camp or that place you kick back, use any size of YETI Mugs, the Rambler Lowball, Rambler Wine Tumbler, Colster Can Insulator, or the YETI Stackable Pints.
When you are on the highways and byways to your next destination, refuel on the go with the 20 or 30 oz. Tumblers. Once on the trail or the waterway, use any YETI Bottle or Jug, built to accompany you while you are in your element.

To those who gave this chest a bad review for not keep ice, I have to ask, did you close the lid? I mean I can’t figure it out.
To those who gave this chest a bad review for being heavy I have to ask, did you not read the specs? How do you order something that says it weighs 10 pounds and then complain when it shows up and low and behold, it weighs 10 pounds? And guess what? If you put 12 pounds of ice and 20 pounds of food in it, it now weighs 42 pounds. The ice/food/drinks will always be the lion’s share of the weight, not the ice chest.
It is well made. You will have to tighten the drain plug to keep it from leaking as it is not one of those cheap push caps, but it made so little water that I never had to drain it. Besides, 12 pounds of ice is about 1 1/2 gallons of water. The less than 6 pounds that melted is less than 3/4 of a gallon. Not enough to flood anything, much less a car.
If all you want is something to keep t your stuff cool for an afternoon, I can see why you might be upset by the price or weight. If you need an ice chest to keep your food fresh for a week and the alternative is canned beans and hot soda, this the one for you.
This thing works. It does what the manufacturer says it does. Buy it with confidence.
So my suggestion is, as soon as you get your cooler, put 2 cups of water in it, lock down the lid, and tip it over on its back, with the hinges pointed down. If water runs out between the hinges, then your cooler has this problem. I think that an expensive cooler should not allow water to pour out when closed -- but you test yours and decide if that will be a problem for you.
I wanted to be proud of this cooler. By the way -- it was made in the Phillipines.

However! Not all is lost. The Yeti is an INSANELY durable cooler. They advertise it as bear proof, and I completely believe them. Hefting it around, it definitely feels like you could toss it down a cliff face, climb down, and crack an ice cold if very foamy beer. In comparison, my Coleman feels like if you glance at it wrong it will pop a hinge.
But the cooler does require pre-trip cooling; I put in one bag of ice a day ahead of trip which completely melted within a day but brought the temperature of the cooler down and ready to go -> the same thermal mass that helps keep everything cool also requires time and pre-cooling before it can do its job. If you don't do the pre-cooling, don't expect the first bag of ice to last long. This is to be expected. I can believe the claimed "ice keeping time" if used as specified. I think this cooler is best for multi-day trips where its "thermal momentum" really shines; I'll keep using my old one for single day outings.
The product is well constructed and sturdy; hope to enjoy it for years to come. Happy with the investment.
All mariners seem to love them , however, after two weekends of use it does not hold ice !
I’m going to return this one and repurchase another in hopes that, perhaps this one is defective.
So far, not impressed...
I bought this cooler because my Pelican 45 is way too big on the outside of the cooler and doesn't fit in any car trunk that I have owned. I want to be able to take my 45 with me for car trips. So far I'm really happy with the size and how well it keeps ice. It is also significantly lighter than the Pelican. The Pelican has and needs wheels, but this Yeti just doesn't feel like it needs them. I'm not too crazy about the rope handles yet, but the Yeti has solid handles built in too and these work like a charm.
I measured the actual internal capacity of this with water. It can hold just about exactly 32 liters of water and still have the lid close. For comparison, the Pelican 45 with wheels measured in at 35-36 liters (but also has a little lift in the lid that would allow a bit of extra space form the Yeti).
Pros
* 10 day ice retention seems great, especially in a compact size.
* Quite light for an injection molded cooler.
* Easy to carry with the molded handles.
* Fits in many car trunks, including my Civic. Compact. Not a square!
* Nice color.
* Quality construction.
* Solid: doubles as a seat, step stool, etc.
Cons
* Price.
* Would prefer closures like the Pelican has to the rubber straps.
THE TEST
I wanted to know how long this cooler will keep ice before I did a review, but I didn't want to wait for next summer, so I set up another indoor test.
Test conditions:
* 23 degrees Celcius for ~12 hours a day and 18-22 degrees Celcius for the other 12.
* Lid opened briefly once a day at the same time to check ice level.
* Cooler pre-cooled with icepacks for one hour before starting.
* Cooler filled to the top with large ice cubes (you know: the kind your grandma/great-grandma made manually in the freezer trays), these cubes are much larger than store bought cubes and will last longer as a result.
Test Result:
Still had a little ice after 10 days. Cold water was all that remained on day 11.
I don't like other tests where they "simulate real world useage" by opening the cooler multiple times a day and digging around in it. I want to know how long a cooler keeps ice, not how long ice takes to melt in a cooler that is open...so I kept opening to a minimum. I know the cooler will keep for a shorter time if I'm opening it and keeping food in it instead of solid ice, but that isn' the point.
See pictures for the start of the test and the various milestones (Starting, two days, five days, eight days, and 10 days).
