Yeti Coolers

Ah, spring when a person's thoughts turn to outdoor activities. The ice chest isn't generally considered a luxury object but the Yeti coolers are designed to keep things cooler than many cheaper versions. The coolers have a a full two inches of polyurethane foam in the sides, bottom and lid to keep items cold all day which makes them great for use on boats when people stay out on the water for long excursions. It has a home freezer-style lid gasket that creates an airtight seal. Heavy-duty rubber T-latches and a self stopping, full length integrated hinge keep it secure in the roughest conditions. A leak-proof drain plug offers easy draining without leaks. It can be used to store food and drinks or bait and fish. It also has a large dry-goods rack to keep dry food cold while preventing contact with the ice. The new Tundra series is available in sizes from 35 to 420 quarts with prices starting at $225 and heading up to $895.
