YETITundra 45 Cooler

Haven’t had this long. But first impressions do not disappoint. Like with all Yeti products the build quality is fantastic. Super easy to use fill it up and you’re good to go. Held enough for 3 of us on the lake most of the day with ice still left over and the cooler sitting in direct sunlight the entire time.The one drawback was getting a darker color becaise it absorbs more sun/heat so the top does feel warm. But on the inside it was still nice and cold.The basket was a nice plus for holding some items that we didn’t want to get all wet. And the carry handles work really well both the rope and the built in grab handles.Good size for a day out with a few people. If you’re going to have more than 3-4 people I’d go next size or couple sizes up. This thins has A TON OF INSULATION! So it takes away a little in the capacity area as do all the coolers build this way!

What can you say about a Yeti. I have this cooler, a smaller one and about 25 Yeti tumblers, they are all great at doing what they do best, keeping things cold. It looks good and has is perfect size for the wife and myself!

Not just pretty, this cooler kept drinks cold and maintained ice for literally 48 hours! Absolutely worth the price.

We have a horse trailer with living quarters with a small refrigerator & use a cooler to keep refreshments cold. We've had several coolers over the years, none of them worked as well or were as maintenance free. The Yeti cooler kept the soda cold over the entire weekend using only one 20# bag of ice. Very impressed, well worth the price.

Very nice cooler

Son loves it....

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.

Man, I really love this cooler. But this color ain't it. I waited for the price to drop and snagged the sandstone pink during prime day. As soon as I unboxed it, it reminded me of medical equipment. This color is the same pink as the urinals and bedpans in the hospital. Now, I'm forever reminded everytime I get a drink. Love the cooler, but not the color.
