Hmmm. Pretty sure somebody posted a commentary from Yeti yesterday stating that the NRA mis-understood what Yeti had done concerning the NRA Foundation. So, which is it? I don't know but if I paid that kind of money for a cooler, pretty sure I wouldn't be bustin' it up. I don't have that kind of cash to throw away. But that's me.

I was wondering the same thing. Is this an overreaction by the NRA, or is YETI now realizing it made a serious mistake and it's trying to backpedal?

Anyone got any clearer information on this?

"...that kind of cash to throw away..."


The quick resolution is to place pro-RKBA decals over the pathetic current Yeti logos.
Future purchases can come from patriotic vendors like Orion Coolers, RTIC Coolers, and Pelican Coolers.
I am contemplating a decent purchase from one of those three solid companies as we speak.

If your majority of customers are gun owners, it’s not a good business practice to piss them off.................

I don’t own a Yeti cooler. I do have a couple of cups. I did peel the Yeti sticker off my truck yesterday. I heard that Walmart sells a cup called Ozark that is a third the cost and just as good. Going to get one and see. If true, my Yeti’s are gone. Unless Yeti change course before I get to Walmart.

there was trouble with an IPO, maybe that has something to do with it. The ONLY reason I know about them is that every hunting show has a YETI cooler on it, someplace or another. I don’t get the logic of what they have done. The people who have promoted these things like pro hunters will be quick to get rid of them I think. Don’t believe YETI either. They stepped in it intentionally and are now aghast in horror over what is going to happen. I won’t use a guide service, fishing or hunting that uses YETI and I won’t watch any hunting or fishing show that has YETI on it.

Just saw this on Twitter - consider buying RTIC products instead of Yeti:

They had only changed their product line and NRA used it as an opportunity to gin up donations in a somewhat dishonest manner.

They really don’t need to.

Any standard cooler can be enhanced into YETI functionality by lining it with 1/2” foam board top, bottom and sides and wrapping the exterior in reflective insulation.

I have not purchased due to price and can’t see blowing up something so expensive.

Glad to see several alternative coolers recommended on FR. If I owned one...I’d re-lable with an NRA sticker also as suggested on FR.

Why destroy a perfectly good item that you paid for with your hard earned money? I don’t get it.

Just don’t give them any more of your business and be done with it.

It would have been much more effective to flood the market with used Yeti products which would undercut the sale of new products.

I am sitting here holding my yeti. I didn’t know of this. It is the damn best travel cup I have ever had. Stays cold all day, when it drops, the piece magnetically reattaches, easy to clean, I don’t want to give this thing up.
