What's inside a $400 vs $50 Cooler? 

I agree with Lincoln. That seems like a huge price jump for an extra layer of foam and a fancy lock. Awesome video!

Buy the 50 dollar cooler and 350 dollars of beer.

If you need a cooler to keep your beer cold for longer than a day or two, your drinking too slow lol.

I took a $1 styrofoam cooler and wrote "YETI" on it with a Sharpie. I always get a lot of encouraging comments at the beach.

It's only worth $400.00 because people are willing to spend the $400.00.

for $400 it should have a compressor and refrigerant to keep everything cool

Exposing companies one video at a time

What's inside??? 10$ more worth of foam.

Now you need Flex Seal and put it back together new video on that lol

Now the big question, can you put them back together with ''Flex Tape?'' ..... Woo-hoo!

I would have been more interested in seeing it compared to a Coleman 5 day cooler, which actually has outperformed the Yeti in some comparison videos. Or even a Coleman 6 day cooler

Extra $10 on materials. The rest is design and marketing value.

sooo... drill some holes in the cheaper cooler lid.. fill it with spray foam toss some cheap gasket on the seal.. save myself 300 bucks?

Use flex tape to make it work again

I paid $3 for a 7-11 styrofoam cooler, works just fine. keep it in my car/truck, bears haven't got into it yet.

So thicker plastic is worth $350?... Actually $50 worth of plastic and foam... $250 worth of hype and $100 for Yeti label... Marketing at its finest.

heres another cheap trick.. buy a 2 dollar styrofoam cooler.. put it in your coleman cooler and get better results than a yeti

If that guy says butt-ton one more time...

The big styrofoam box my omaha steaks came in has thicker walls. And it came full of steaks for the price of the yeti!

350$ more for a quarter inch more plastic, slightly more foam, a rubber gasket, and locking latches... ah yes, what a truly novel investment...

Just put a styrofoam cooler inside a cheap plastic cooler, put some ratchet straps around it and boom, cheaper bear proof double insulted cooler for under 100 bucks

But the Yeti comes with a sticker for your truck!

$400 cooler? Makes me think of the old adage, some lures are designed to lure fish, and some are designed to lure fisherman.

Could you do the yeti competitor from Walmart called the Ozark Trail? Pretty cool video. You've actually helped me in my decision.

When I see the Yeti brand, I think of Dyson. Nice product but overpriced. I avoid both.

I was always suspicious of the Yeti products, suspension confirmed. I’m glad I never bought any.

I’m a Coleman cooler man myself: have one that’s going on 15 years old and been tossed in the boat hundreds of times, bounced around in the truck bed etc and still going strong.

The obvious test is to determine how long each will keep the inside to 40 deg F. Then, you decide which is more economical for your use. I suggest the most cost efficient solution is have a smaller cooler inside a larger cooler. Insert additional foam insulation between the two. Now, you have more than double the insulation which will keep your inside temperature to 40 deg F much much longer.

FYI...to be bear proof pad locks must be used in the corners or bolts. Not just the rubber latches.

It says bear RESISTANT not bear proof, just means that it's easy to open for Yogi Bear (smarter than the average bear)

You should have done a test to see which would keep a bag of ice from melting all the way...

After seeing this I'd buy the $50 cooler, drill a hole somewhere inconspicuous in the lid and inject some spray foam into the lid to help insulate the top. That should help it hold ice longer, maybe not as long as the Yeti but also no as expensive as the Yeti either.

Clearly a better product, but nowhere near $400 in value. That's 8 times the price!

You wouldn’t spend 400 dollars on a cooler, but you’d spend about 200 dollars on a child’s jacket?....

Even though I liked the video what was nicest was the way that your son looked at you. You can see that he loves and admires his father and that he is very happy to be there doing things with you. Keep up the great work !

It always depends on what you are using a cooler for. With me, I got a cooler because we have had power outages that have lasted 10 days and an expensive cooler is already paid for the first time you don't have to throw out all of the food in the fridge. I also wanted it for long car trips. I have driven cross country 5 times and being able to really trust that the food will still be good at the end of a week is important. Also for longer camping trips. That versus people who just bought a cooler for drives to the beach. When I was younger, I always bought the cheap ones. But I have ended up buying multiple cheap ones and losing multiple refrigerator loads of food and at my age, I look back and would say to myself, "Get a good cooler the first time" It doesn't have to be a Yeti, but one that will hold ice for 10 days.

Never personally owned a Yeti cooler. I have friends who have them and they swear they can go a week without loosing ice. Of course...IT ALL DEPENDS on how often you access the cooler though. If you have beer in the cooler the ice wont last because it will be opened constantly until the beer is gone...then you have to add beer, etc. If you put vitamin water in it, it will never be opened and it will last much longer...regardless of the cooler brand ------

I use a Colman cooler but have injected foam into the lid to help retain the cold and it works great.

Yeti is for people who want others to know they have money to burn. It has more plastic. Plastic is incredibly cheap. The price is an insult.....but if they can fool people into paying it, well, there's one born every minute. I have been using a Rubbermaid cooler for my lunches at work for 25 years. I can put warm cans of water in it with an ice pack and about 45 minutes later it's like it came out of the fridge. It will keep ice for a couple days, sometimes 3 days. I paid $14 for it 25 years ago. If there are more people who will pay that kind of money for cheap plastic and insulation.....I am in the wrong business. The profit margin is astounding!I also have a couple large Igloo coolers for fishing trips. They are very large coolers, and I paid maybe $35 for each of them. They will keep fish packed in ice for a couple days. Don't need to pay "too much" to get what I need. People have to realize a lot of brands are this way......not really different for the amount of price they have.

Would you cut open a Walmart Ozark Trail cooler and compared to the Yeti?

They're only bearproof when padlocked. Bears are really smart, definitely smart enough to get those latches open. Just not smart enough to pick locks. Yet.

Why does a round pizza come in a square box Answer: I have no idea

No cooler is worth $400

Can u cut my ex-wife in half n see whats in her? 😂

Yeti coolers are trendy nowadays so people will spend big bucks to fit in with the sheep.

Actually it's worth the $400 because you get a sticker that you can put on your vehicle to tell the world that you're really serious about coolers. The looks you'll get from others on the road, priceless. Does that thing got a hemi? No, its got a yeti you poor igloo buyer.

The way he says button

I would like to see this cut open and compared to something similar but less expensive like maybe the Ozark Trail cooler, they have one that's supposed to be as good as the yeti

Definitely the Yeti is a better built product but not enough to be worth $400.

I would spend some money on foam and inject it in the lid of the cheap box. ;-)

Yeti is Way WAYYYY overpriced

Kid have no idea how lucky he is for a cool dad like that.

I use a larger igloo and find a styro foam cooler that fits inside . Works like a charm !

Is a Yeti polar-bear proof or grizzly bear proof ? I am sure the Igloo is panda bear proof

The $50 cooler makes the Yeti seem to be ‘worth’ about $75 or so. Even $100 but the four hundred dollar tag (~$300 on sale) is way out of line.

I would have really liked to see a Ozark Trail knock off halved. Probably identical.

Colman makes a cooler with thicker walls that has about the same amount of insulation as the yeti for a whole lot less money, the plastic probably isn't as thick but is a thicker shell really worth an extra $350.00 to most people.

Make two holes on each end of igloo top and use the foam can to fill the lid with foam.

Now put it back together with Flex Tape and sell it on Ebay.

Having a yeti cooler is like having a big flashing sign that says “I’m a sucker”.

"Vacuum packed air".... Wouldn't the presence of the "packed" air defeat the vacuum?

Igloo best value and was in the top for performance over 5 days of keeping ice. Yeti is strictly for yuppie status or to show your ignorance.

“Vacuum packed air” no.

Makes me wanna inject foam in the lid of my cheap cooler lol

I think yeti is taking advantage of people who want to sport the name, I'll never own one, there is another brand similar or better and cheaper I forget what though

I would say the yeti is overpriced by about $250

50 50 the yeti cooler needs wheels

I have used both coolers for long periods of time and looked up compare videos where they use the yeti and cheap coolers to see how long they hold ice. Yetti always comes in the top 5 of best coolers. however paying $400 is $200 cooler and $200 brand name. is it worth it??? depends on how much you'll use it.

PI$$ ON YETI - The defenders of the 2nd Amendment will remember what Yeti tried to do to the NRA

So an extra can of expanda foam is the difference, and thicker plastic

Please cut open an RTIC cooler and compare to the YETI. Similar in quality, but huge difference in price.

You gotta have more money than sense to buy a 400$ cooler !!!

If you don't have bears where you camp, you're not doing it right...

I bought one for my husband the other day that looks exactly like the yeti cooler and the same size. It was 100 and something dollars.. sales and Walmart people.

we almost bought a yeti the other day. but just can't justify spending that much on a cooler. great vid!

I won a Yeti cooler and gave it away. It was too heavy & bulky and I couldn't get much in it. I definitely wasn't dragging that thing around. I gave it to a friend that was going on a long road trip, to store his insulin in.

I'll stick with the cooler that I jacked from my parents that they bought in the 90's. It works just fine.

The only reason i,d use a yeti piece of s**t is for target practice.

Bear proof when you put a lock on it

Good to see the bass player of blink 182 is doing good

Always best videos.. value of time,😂😂

Personally yeti hands down. Food drinks stay cooler much longer. Amateur campers stay with cheaper cooler, just buy more ice.😳

When I go camping, my number 1 concern is bears getting my food, if they get at me or my family though, not that big of a deal.

I have four RTIC's. Love them. I also have Lifetime i bought at walmart for $100. Holds ice just as well as the more expensive RTIC's.

Most Name Brand products you are paying for THE NAME not the actual product quality, some are worth the price and are sensible, but others you are just paying for the name alone. I remember some company sold a boomerang and it was an expensive piece of wood with the logo/brand name on it and it preformed horribly in comparison to a cheaper but more effective boomerang on this channel

Fill the lid of the igloo cooler with spray foam so its insulated. Then your good to go.

Always did think Yeti was over priced, You guys proved it

Igloo is made in USA. 🇺🇸 I can leave my igloo cooler at the campsite without worrying someone will steal it. Drinks and ice in the yeti turn it into a two person chore just to lift it. Empty, the 65qt yeti weighs as much as a case of bottled water. The igloo is super light. The other couple camping with us still had to buy ice for their yeti, but we did have to re-ice once more than them. No big deal. The igloo lid is hollow. Drill holes in the outside of the lid and fill it with expanding insulation. Yeti is about image.

Spend $400 to keep $2 worth of ice for a few extra days... If that ain't murica I don't know what is.

You should do an ice melt time test.

They just exposed Yeti lmao good job guys😂😂😂

I use to work at a production facility that made Yeti coolers. I literally had to sign a NDA agreement to fill those with the special foam they invented. Quite cool.

A $20 Coleman will do just fine for me. Drill a few holes in the lid and fill with Great Stuff. Thanx for sharing.

yeti has about $4.87 worth of more material, that somehow equals 700% increase in price. GTFO.

Why does he say button so weirdly

I am with the kid. Been using walmart coolers forever. They never let me down. Also very affordable to replace

4:08 thank me later

I am doing my science project on tesla inspired by your videos

Overpriced for what it does. But I guess a yuppie needs something to stash in the back of the Range Rover to keep up the pretense.

Great team! Lincoln, I'm with you...I think I would put a cheap cooler inside a plastic box with extra space all around...then fill with expanding foam. That would be a fun test...
