    5.0 out of 5 stars Cool Gift for Hot Days: Keeping Hydrated with YETI
    Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2024
    I purchased the YETI Tundra 45 Cooler as a gift for my son who recently joined the lineman's union. He often works outdoors during the peak heat of the day, and staying hydrated is crucial for his health and safety. This cooler has proven to be an exceptional choice for keeping his drinks ice-cold for hours, even under the sweltering sun. The durability and performance of the YETI ensure that he has access to cold refreshments throughout his workday, which is vital for his well-being in such demanding conditions. It's more than just a cooler; it's a vital part of his daily gear that helps him stay hydrated and healthy.

    5.0 out of 5 stars It's a YETI - Sizing will be the main dilemma when choosing one of these...
    Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2020
    The first thing to note is that YETI marketing is misleading. So the number in the product name DOES NOT indicate actual capacity. For example, I have the YETI 45 and it does not hold 45L. It's less. But I'm guessing this is due to the space needed to make this a bad a** cooler that can keep ice for days. If you're new to YETI, a first time buyer, you may be at a dilemma on which size to get. You can't look at outside dimensions and compare it to a non-YETI cooler that you may be using and say it's the same. Because it's probably not in terms of capacity. At the same time, the physical dimension of the YETI is still something to consider if you have space constraints and are looking for a drop in, same size replacement. For me, I was attempting to replace an igloo MaxCool and I had a space constraint to work with. I was "hoping" to get the mighty YETI cooling power AND have the same capacity/footprint as my Igloo. But that's not possible. I was deciding between the YETI 35, 45, Haul, and 65. The sizing for YETI seems intentionally offset to other brands so I felt the size I needed was in between the 45 and 65, ex. if they had a 55 that would have been perfect. The 35 is essentially a drink only cooler for day trips like the traditional old school hand carry igloos. It's small. The Haul is actually larger than the 65, I think, which is HUGE. The 65 would have been the one I should have went with for capacity but it wouldn't meet the footprint I needed to meet. So I went with the 45. When it showed up it was a bit disappointing as it's more of a bigger cooler for mainly drinks like beach parties or maybe day trip. I was hoping to use it for multi-day camping trips for food and drinks. HAHAH... dreaming. There isn't a whole lot of space and I'm guessing best case it's enough for a 2-day camping trip for a family of 4. Maybe for 1 person you can do drinks/food for multi-day camping. But again I think it's more for drinks. It does come with a YETI basket, which is nice but something I'm likely not going to use. Space is too much of a premium to use a basket. All of this was made up for by the amazing cold retention of the cooler. We had ice for days (3+ days) and food cold with some drinks. I ended up using both my igloo for drinks and the YETI for food for camping. It worked out very well.

    The 45 is heavy but not too heavy for a strong person to carry, even fully loaded. I do think if I got the 65 and it was fully loaded, there's no way one person can carry it. My igloo comes with wheels but the YETI didn't. This was one reason why I was considering the YETI HAUL. Wheels are nice when you need to transport or move from the parking space to where you need to go. I did find out that you can buy 3rd party, after market wheels for the YETI 45. They are expensive but may be worth it.

    Overall, it's a YETI and it delivered on what it's known for. Just realize you're getting less in capacity for the same physical size.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Sturdy and stayed cold for 5 days!

    This cooler was such a good purchase! It keeps everything cold for days and is definitely built to last, it stayed cold for our entire 5 day trip. My only issue is that it’s heavy when fully loaded, so I needed help carrying it, however, my boyfriend had no problem carrying it. Overall, it’s a 5 star product for its performance and durability. Highly recommended for anyone needing a reliable cooler.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Almost as good as advertised

    The cooler don't hold ice as long as you would think being its 300$ and the cooler is heavy without anything in it. Not roomy inside. But if I ever encounter a bear atleast I'll have cold sodas cause the straps are hard to undo for humans
