Yeti Cooler Revolution




Hunters, fishermen, campers, construction sites, and tail-gate fans, all now know about the Yeti Cooler.  The wonder is why it took so long for someone to invent a really long lasting, well insulated cooler, you can stand on, sit on, and expect ice to stay in decent shape for days and days.  Businessweek Magazine just ran a story on the founders of the product, a mom and pop kind of operation started by Roy Seiders in Texas.  He and his older brother created the company and it has advanced well beyond fishermen.  Made of the same materials as Igloo and Coleman, it has more insulation and is much stronger and more durable in sunlight. It is also “bear proof” and has amazing set of extra add-ons like tie-down straps and a well cushioned seat top that snaps on.  Nice videos on the website to instruct you on how to install the tie-down anchors in your boat (or truck).  All accessories are stainless steel, all user friendly.  Now even doctors are using them to transport organs.  This cooler is fast becoming a cult-item for hunters and fishermen, campers too.  Company sales should exceed $100 million this year. Prices range from $220 to $1,300.

  2. Great, I think that's a real break through, and news worth spreading.
