I give you Kysek coolers, the first cooler that has WiFi which monitors the temperature inside the cooler and can send you an alert when it reaches a certain temperature. Just what I've been waiting for. I'm so sick and tired of staying up all night wondering if my ice is melting, but now I don't have to! With the Kysek, I can get woken up in the middle of the night when an ice cube starts to melt. Thanks, Kysek.

Gonna be tough to beat Yeti's ability to create essential products. Like the Roadie 20. It's perfect for those long, 5 day excursions when you only plan on drinking a 6-pack of beer. **

Just get a Lit cooler. Like a Yeti but has strips of led lights that come on when you open the lid. Made in Ripley MS.

Speaking of coolers, are there any reasonably priced ones that are similar to YETI? Doesn't have to be as good, but would be nice to get 3-4 days use before needing fresh ice. I'm taking a 2 week trip out west next month and would like not having to buy a fresh bag of ice everyday. Although that would be cheaper than buying an expensive cooler. I'm not paying anything close to what YETI demands.

I have a 50 qt K2 cooler that I bought for $200 in Tupelo compared to $369 + for a comparable Yeti. It holds ice just as well as my Yeti and is considerably lighter. Engle make a soft backpack cooler that is surprising with how long it holds ice. I don't have a Hopper to compare it to but the back pack straps make it easy to carry. Its about $150 and is probably the most used cooler I own.

The cooler bag looks interesting. Using it in a car road trip, how long would you say it will keep drinks cool before fresh ice is needed? Every 2-3 days or new ice every day? Thanks for your help.

I got a yeti thru my old job and it's really nice but I have fishin buddies with k2's that are half the price and are just as good. If I was buying one that's what I'd get

2 days for sure. I have loaded it for the beach, stayed on the beach all day and left it outside overnight and there is always ice in it the next day. Aren't you in Orange Beach?

Check out Polar Bear Coolers for the soft sided ones. Best ones out there and 1/5 the price of a Yeti Hopper.

They aren't half price. They are about 20% cheaper. They also sell scratch and dents on their website. And yes, they are every bit as good as a Yeti.

Gander Mountain has some store branded ones that look like a great alternative, especially the hopper knockoff.

I'm there part time.

My wife bought mine at SAM"S on Canal but they are cheaper at one of the marine dealers on 59. Can't remember the name but it is the one on the right headed north before you get to Pottery Barn at a corner of one of the county roads. They are about $20 cheaper than SAM's.

Do they have wheels yet? Nothing like toting a 50 pound cooler (with nothing in it) without wheels.

Saw an ORCA cooler this weekend with wheels on it.. It was a Yeti knockoff but offered in team colors. Saw a crimson/white, red/blue, and blue/orange. Didn't ask about maroon/white because I didn't need another cooler, but it had good wheels like inline skates, only bigger, and a long extendable handle.
