Pelican. In a variety of tests/reports their ice chests hold ice longer than Yeti.

I’m a huge fan of Orca myself. Some 3rd party reviews are quite impressive:

As many have posted on here, Yeti products cost too much money to destroy. I received this e-mail from the NRA-ILA today:

Don’t blow up your Yeti cooler. Don’t shoot your Yeti cooler full of holes. Don’t chain your Yeti cooler to the back of your pick-up truck and drag it down the highway. Don’t glue a toilet seat to Yeti cooler. Don’t hang your Yeti cooler in a tree and beat it with a baseball bat.

Put a big “I STAND WITH THE NRA FOUNDATION" sticker on your YETI cooler and keep using it. They cost too much money to destroy to make a statement. Let a sticker make your statement.

I was a preferred customer so they sent me an email to try the new pistol cases I ordered 2 a couple months ago and got them this week they say made in the USA they are Very well made and come with lots of foam inserts that can be custom cut I am happy they sold preorders for $55 I am not sure what they want now.

Well the NRA said not to destroy them, but my buddy just sent me a pic and video of some Army guys running one over with a tank. Yeti alienated A LOT of people. Lol good stuff.

I have Yeti products I wrote to them and told them I would be putting a circle with a slash on their logo on the products I do have and when asked by someone about it I will tell them why.
