The smart money goes to the Magellan 24 can backpack cooler. Yeti performance at an Academy price ($90). Built like a tank with Hypalon, so very, very, durable.
At 4:15 the stitching you are looking at is called a bartack. The number of stitches and the size of the thread is more important than the width of the "W's". Bartacks on a jean belt loop are usually 28 stitches per tack. The tacks are made with a semiautomatic sewing machine. Using a bartack is faster, more consistent and less expensive than sewing on a manual machine.
I noticed the Tourit is now 218, with tax you are almost at 250. I think at that point, I would pony up for the Yeti. Yeti has a great warranty and the zippers can be finnicky on all brands. Yeti also has any returns on their dime. Many other cooler companies, a return is at your cost to ship the item to them. That is big especially with the hard coolers. Odds are that you will have issues with the soft coolers opposed to the hard coolers.
I have 3 Yeti coolers all different styles. Like all of them. Yeti does all the R&D work the rest just copy them. I work for a name brand company and know the work that goes into bringing a product to the market. Great video keep up the good work.
seems like the biggest complaint of all the non-Yeti soft coolers is the zippers...they all open with some force but Yeti seems to have conquered this job...any people bring this up to you???......great review, thanks for your time and efforts
I will never be spending 300 for a soft side cooler. The ozark softside with the zipperless top was great for 50 and i dont need to worry about it walking off. Im not a fan of the zippers
@@WanderingWeekends that's because it's what people care about the most. How long will that ice last. Most don't care about brands. If Dollar General sold their own brand and it kept ice longer than Yeti you best believe Yeti would be declaring bankruptcy.
