With time-tested toughness and cold-holding power, YETI® Hard Coolers were built to keep ice for days and live on for decades.

Why are YETI coolers so expensive? There are two pretty simple answers: technology and marketing. The Austin, Texas-based company was founded by the Seiders brothers: two avid outdoorsmen who felt there weren't any coolers on the market that kept their catches, kills, and beverages cold enough for long enough.

YETI yeti.com (formerly YETI Coolers) is an Austin, Texas-based outdoor consumer goods company. With luxury products including high-end coolers, stainless steel drinkware, and branded apparel, YETI is the classic American entrepreneurial story.

According to the Yeti website, Yeti Ramblers are "made from 18/8 stainless steel with double-wall vacuum insulation." The brand promises that these cups will keep drinks cold (or hot) twice as long as its plastic counterparts.

The Yeti is often described as being a large, bipedal ape-like creature that is covered with brown, gray, or white hair, and it is sometimes depicted as having large, sharp teeth.

A cooler, portable ice chest, ice box, cool box, chilly bin (in New Zealand), or esky (Australia) is an insulated box used to keep food or drink cool.

The yeti has been described as having white shaggy fur and a lean muscular body like an ape. This "creature" could also live in the Asian mountains near the Himalayan snow line. Stories about the Yeti and another similar creature, Bigfoot, suggest that if they are real, they could be the same, or similar species.

The two features that YETI coolers emphasize are durability and good ice retention. According to the company, the ice quality, quantity, type (crushed, block, cube, dry), outside environment, exposure to direct sunlight, etc., are all factors that can affect ice retention.
