I was a Yeti skeptic, but I've been using my Yeti Roadie cooler for 2 months now — here's why you'll have to pry it from my cold, dead hands
Summer 2024 belonged to Brat. Summer 2025 belongs to Yeti. Yeti is the brand on everyone's lips this season. Whether you're obsessed with the Yeti Tundra, Yeti Roadie, Yeti backpack, Yeti tumbler, Yeti water bottle, or anything in between, you're probably well into the Yeti hype right now. If you ask me, Yeti makes the best coolers in the world. The Yeti lineup ranges from $1,000+ gargantuan coolers to eeny-weeny mini coolers. Me? I've got the mid-range Yeti Roadie 32 wheeled cooler, and I'm in love. The Yeti Roadie is the coolest cooler in all the land, in terms of both looks and functionality. While the YETI Wave cooler is available in a variety of colors, the Big Wave Blue version is currently on sale for nearly $80 off. What do you look for when you're shopping for coolers? Insulation? Style? Portability? Ideally all three. The best cooler is one that combines chill time, aesthetics, and ease of use. Thankfully, the Yeti Roadie checks all of those boxes. A cooler's ability to retain cold its the primary feature, right? But a lot of people overlook transportability. If it's too much of a pain to get your cooler to its intended location, you're probably not going to be using the cooler as much as you might like. Thankfully, the Yeti Roadie has wheels for all my moving needs. Oh, but these wheels do not simply exist. They exist, and they perform. The Yeti Roadie's wheels are butter-smooth, maneuverable, and hardy. Just look at that wheel. Yeti's cooler wheels are constructed from one piece of durable rubber. This basically means that the tire physically cannot puncture and deflate. Yeti calls it "NeverFlat™ wheels", which, while a little melodramatic, sums it up perfectly. I live in Bath, U.K., which is a lovely historical, hilly city. In this context, historical and hilly kind of just means a pain to get around. If the streets aren't cobbled, they're steep. If the streets aren't full of twisty alleyways and staircases, they're full of tourists. This means getting around with a massive cooler box should be frustrating, right? Wrong, actually. Thanks to the lovely NeverFlat tires, I was able to drag the Roadie cooler up steep stone stairs, across cobbled paths, and over uneven grass to my heart's desire. When I made my friends pull the cooler, they all remarked on how easy it was to maneuver. Major kudos points to the Yeti, here. As I've said before, a cooler box's primary function is to keep cool things, well, cool. (How many times can I say cool in 5 seconds challenge.) The Yeti Roadie eats staying cool for breakfast. While I have yet to take the Yeti on a multi-day adventure (that's happening in August, mark it in your calendars, please), it's performed excellently on every day trip thus far. As I've already mentioned, I awarded the Yeti Roadie a near-unbeatable 4.5-star rating in my review. During the testing period, it was able to keep cans refrigerator-cold for 72 hours. I was opening the cooler and removing cans every 4 hours (to reflect real-world usage), and the Roadie still outperformed all the competition. As you can see from the photographs above, the Yeti Roadie was still ice cold at 72 hours in. I have no doubts about taking it on 3+ day camping trips. Imagine cracking open a cold beverage on day four of a ruthless hiking trail? I can't quite envisage anything better. The Yeti Roadie cooler has kind of been deified in my friendship group. Every time we plan a park, beach, or camping trip, there's a chorus of, "Is the Yeti coming?". The people love it. They crave the Yeti. I think that's because of how cool Yeti's gear is. Sure, it's all functional, but it's also a fashion statement. Gorpcore has been a style for a couple of years now, and I don't think it's going away any time soon. Just look at the Keen Hyperport H2 sandals — they're so ugly, but so stylish at the same time. If something is ruggedly utilitarian but also trendy, it'll stand the test of time. It also helps that Yeti engineers all of its products to be "practically indestructible." The Roadie cooler also doubles up as a miniature wagon, which only adds to its practicality. It comes on every trip, and will do until the end of time. Just look at how useful that is. Not only does the Yeti Roadie carry a whole day's worth of snacks and drinks, it also carries a bean bag and a speaker. Yes, I had to be careful while pulling my cargo, but I had a great time. I don't know how Yeti gear grew to become so cool. The bold, bright colors certainly have something to do with it, but I also think that when something is a genuinely fantastic product, trendiness comes with it.

These 10 discounted coolers from Yeti, Igloo and Coleman just went on sale from $30
It's officially been spring for about a week now, and many of us are gearing up for the longer days of sunlight and warmer weather. If you're looking forward to beach days or an upcoming road trip, you might need a companion to keep drinks cold. Since it's Amazon's spring Prime Day sale, I've decided to round up the best cooler deals the mega-retailer has dropped so far. From reliable Yeti coolers to durable budget picks, I've compiled some of the best picks from Amazon's sale in every price range. Lifetime 65-Quart High Performance Hard Cooler in Khaki This bear-resistant cooler is down to its lowest price ever in this neutral Khaki finish. It's equipped with a cap drain for easy cleanup, has all of the bells and whistles like bottle openers and locks, plus it can preserve ice for up to eight days. Coleman 9-Can Chiller Soft Cooler in Blue This affordable cooler is $2 away from its lowest price ever. It's perfect for toting to the beach, taking lunch to the office and more with its practical leak-proof zipper. BrüMate BrüTank Wheeled Hard Cooler Instead of lugging your extra large cooler to your destination, get this rarely discounted one with rugged wheels. This cooler can handle rough terrain, tailgates and the like, plus it has a built-in tap to serve up mixed drinks. Yeti Roadie 24 Cooler in Big Wave Blue The color alone on this coveted Yeti makes me think of summer. It's tall enough to hold bottles of wine and can slide behind the front seat of a car, making it effortlessly portable. Get this one while you can for a whopping $50 off. The Roadie 24 was a runner up when we tested the best Yeti coolers. Igloo 25-Quart Latitude Marine Ultra White Cooler Igloo's compact 25-quart cooler has a streamlined design and won't break the bank ahead of your next camping trip. It's matching an all-time low price from way back in June of 2023 and has nonslip handles that are safe to carry in the rain. Yeti Tundra 35 Cooler in Wild Vine Red This deep red wine-colored cooler is slightly larger than the Yeti 25 but is only $20 more. It can hold up to 20 cans of your beverages of choice and keeps things cool with its PermaFrost Insulation. This model rarely goes below retail and now its over $50 off. Vingli 80-Quart Wagon Rolling Cooler Ice Chest Put this rolling cooler on display during your next at-home gathering. It's under $150 in the crisp white color and keeps beverages cold for up to two days. It can hold just under 100 cans and has a convenient cap catcher for waste. Igloo 28-Quart Profile II Roller in Red If you're interested in a tiny roller cooler, this 28-quart pick from Igloo is an impressive model. It can be pushed or pulled from its handle when in motion and a 13-inch chamber depth that fits bottles, food and more. Yeti Hopper M30 Portable Soft Cooler in King Crab This might be a wildcard for some, but the team here at Underscored loves a tote-shaped cooler. The M30's shell can withstand strong UV rays and is easier for hikers or campers to lug around on the road than a cumbersome hard cooler. Igloo 11-Quart Tag Along Too Strapped Picnic Style Cooler This mini pastel cooler screams springtime. It has a convenient crossbody carrying strap for hands free lugging and can surprisingly hold up to 14 cans. It's now $10 in a wide range of beach ready colors. Our deals editors have been covering Amazon's many variations of its highly anticipated Prime Day over the years. After analyzing the deals so far, the coolers have stood out to us do to their seasonality and steep price drop when we're already gearing up to buy them. We would expect some of the deals on the high end Yeti picks to be this low during the off season but not at the start of spring. Our deals team has over a decade of combined commerce journalism experience. Rikka Altland, Jacqueline Saguin and Elena Matarazzo source the best deals of the day each morning to curate one-offs and retailer-specific roundups on the top products to shop, searching everything from coveted tech to outdoor deals.
