Yeti

Of course, that adventure does not require climbing a mountain. Even celebrities likeOlivia Wilde,Mindy Kaling, andCamila Cabellohave been spotted with Yeti while on the go.

And with good reason: Yeti products undergo a series of rigorous tests to ensure overall quality and longevity, such as “crush tests, drop tests, and freeze tests,” Hannah Mara, Yeti’s head of food and beverage, tells PEOPLE. And that’s “so we can be sure our gear is built to last for generations and can withstand the most rugged adventures you can take them on,” she says. A few of our editors are also Yeti fans and regularly put these best-sellers to the test in their daily lives.

Read on for PEOPLE’s complete buyer’s guide to Yeti with everything you’ll want to add to your cart in 2024.

Yeti Tundra 45 Hard Cooler

$300 at Amazon$300 at Yeti.com

It all started with a cooler. Yeti was founded on the concept of “building the cooler we’d use every day if it existed,”per the brand. One led to two, and now close to 20 coolers make up the bedrock of this collection, including hard, soft, and rolling coolers and popular models like theTundraandV-Series.

TheTundra 45 Hard Cooler, in particular, is a best-seller thanks to its spacious capacity. Wide enough to chill 54 cans and 37 pounds of ice yet not too heavy to lift, this cooler is ideal for road trips, tailgates, beach days, and more.

PEOPLE shopping editorKayla Kittsowns a Yeti cooler (the Roadie 24) and praises its sturdiness: “I’ve used it to hold cans at backyard parties and lugged it to the beach filled with drinks and snacks. The heavy-duty strap makes it easy to carry from place to place, while the double latches help keep drinks ice-cold.”

This cooler comes in 12 sizes as well aswheeled options. Plus, most are available in eight to 10 colors, depending on the model. What really stands out about Yeti coolers is that each one can keep food or beverages cold anywhere from 24 hours to an entire week, depending on the amount of ice and other conditions.

It’s the best hiking buddy and perfect for weekend travel. The main compartment is so spacious that you can fit a good amount of clothing, cosmetics, and more. Plus, the bag’s weight is only 3 pounds, so it should stay fairly lightweight — even when packed.

Sometimes I decide at the last minute to check my carry-on bag, and I know that theCrossroads Luggagecan take the beating that comes with transporting checked luggage from point A to B. It’s durable, offers plenty of organization options, and since it’s a Yeti, I know it will last for years.”—Erin Johnson, PEOPLE associate shopping director

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Stanley or Yeti better?

This is the question of the moment, and both are legacy brands that have merit. Yeti is the newer kid on the block (established in 2006), with an emphasis on outdoor leisure; its hero product is the cooler, which, in our opinion, is unmatched. Stanley, on the other hand, has been around since 1913 and is better known for its drinkware (though Yeti is a worthy rival in this department).

Stanley had a resurgence in popularity in 2016 when its target demographic expanded and now goes toe to toe with Yeti on many fronts. So who’s better? That’s up to you. If you want to learn more about the Stanley brand,check out our buyer’s guide.

How long do Yeti coolers stay cold?

Yeti coolers are built with “up to 2 inches or more of insulation in the walls and lids of most sizes” as well as having a “freezer-quality sealing gasket,”per the brand. That said, the size of the cooler as well as conditions like how much ice you use and where you store it all contribute to the longevity of coldness. Some large Yeti coolers have been known to keep ice cold for up to two weeks, but most (with regular use) will stay cold for three to five days.

Does Yeti have BPA?

No, all Yeti drinkware is BPA-free (and is reportedly also lead-free).

How does Yeti customization work?

There are countless ways to add a touch of personalization to your Yeti products. You can customize drinkware, coolers, and even dog bowlsright on the Yeti website. Whether you want to feature yourzodiac sign,favorite sports team, or evenyour name or initials, there are lots of options for customization at Yeti.

When it comes to the world of outdoor recreation, there are a lot of brands that offer similar products like coolers, drinkware, and lifestyle essentials. While we recognize Yeti’s collection of goods as being in a class of its own, we also acknowledge that sometimes the price is not as friendly for every budget. That said, here are a few other brands that you might consider for lower price points.
