Yeti cuts ties with NRA

[th3w01f]

What perfect timing, my wife was about to order a large Yeti off Amazon for my birthday last week when I saw this. We were literally just minutes from hitting submit.

I did write to the above comment page; I'm very curious to see if they'll respond. I also pointed out that I'm not going to trash my current small cooler, but I told them I'll be happy to explain Yeti's 2A stance when people ask about them... which happens more than I thought it would. Maybe a nice hammer and sickle sticker below their name, and I'll just say that they gave them out to current owners when they decided to cave..... or more likely embrace their beliefs.

I’ll send $10 to the first member who shoots their Yeti cooler full of holes and posts it on YouTube. If a few other members pitch in, you can go out and buy a new non-Yeti cooler!

I'm in for $10

I never saw a reason for spending that much on a cooler anyway. I have a Coleman Xtreme series cooler that keeps ice frozen just as well as my buddy’s same size Yeti for a fraction of the price. We’ve done a side by side test in elk camp.

I did today too. Just before I saw this thread.

Ordered my wife two custom lowballers for mother's day. We have 2 for camping that are in the house for winter for whiskey. And my wife loves the occasional whiskey. Made a point to say as much today after a rough day. So, there's that. Would I do it differently knowing this? Crays makes an interesting point.

Again, for cups and bottles, Yeti > > RTIC.

We've got some of the Members Mark 30oz tumblers and I can't tell the difference between them and the Yeti. Lids are also interchangeable. Not sure who makes the MM ones but they're damn good.

Suddenly across the gun community people see the emperor has no clothes, and realize that Yeti coolers are way overpriced and overrated.

I have an $800 Yeti ice chest I love.

Holy shit! I could buy a refrigerator and a generator to power it for that.

I've never bought a Yeti product. Never will.

Yeti is a big player in outdoor camping and hunting products. WAY over priced as mentioned before but still well made and very well marketed stuff.

I'm guessing this is a big shift in their target clientele, and they will develop much smaller coolers for picnics on the grass with Chablis and Brie!

Or an RTIC.
