We often point people to YETI when they’re looking for exceptionally durable, long-lasting, and stylish gear for frontcountry adventures. YETI products have found their way onto many of our Gear Guides because they’re very high quality and built to last – something that really stands out in today’s market.
YETI gear comes at a premium price, but it’s an excellent value in the long term since it won’t need to be replaced often, if ever. Their stuff also tends to be a bit heavy, so it isn’t typically a brand we look to for ultralight backpacking items. That said, we love how rugged and rock-solid YETI products are when it comes to car camping and the gear we use daily while living an active outdoor lifestyle.
It isn’t any wonder that the YETI Tundra has made such a big name for itself. Its best-in-class insulation makes it very efficient, so you can keep ice the way it should be on multi-day trips: frozen! The tradeoff is that the Tundra is a bit of a beast to carry, but it’s extremely tough. So no matter how hard you play, you don’t have to worry about dents or breaking hardware. See how the Tundra compares to others on our list of the Best Coolers on the market.
Hopper M20 Backpack Cooler
If you live an active lifestyle, a portable backpack cooler like the YETI Hopper M20 could easily become one of your favorite pieces of gear. We’ve been finding more uses for our M20 with every passing year, whether it’s for road trips, day outings, or transporting goodies from home to wherever the party is! The magnetic top closure opens wide so you can add ice, search for contents, and easily clean the inside. The backpack cooler is our favorite, but there are an array of awesome Hopper Soft Coolers in various sizes and styles. See more reasons why we love the Hopper on our list of the Best Coolers.
The YETI Trailhead is hands-down the most comfortable and highest-quality camp chair we’ve sat in. It’s supportive yet soft and springy, holding you in a relaxed upright position and cradling your curves without pressure. The material is also airy and breathable, which feels great on warm days. The Trailhead Chair is a tad bulky, but it’s well worth the space it takes to pack if comfort and longevity are priorities. See how the Trailhead Chair stacks up against the competition on our list of the Best Camping Chairs.
We’re convinced that the YETI Rambler Tumbler is the best travel tumbler on the market. It’s sleek, stylish, and will keep your beverages hot/cold for a shockingly long time. We use our Rambler Tumblers constantly while commuting and camping. We’ve even been known to carry them on cold-weather hikes so we can keep the hot drinks flowing! The Rambler makes an excellent gift for anyone with an on-the-go lifestyle. See the Rambler and a ton of other A+ gift ideas on our list of the Best Gifts for Hikers, Backpackers, and Campers.
Rambler Mug
If you prefer a traditional mug with a handle, but still want excellent durability and unheard-of heat retention, you’ll love YETI’s Rambler Mug. These mugs are a perfect size and shape for a helping of chili as well as your daily coffee, so they’re really versatile in the camp kitchen. We appreciate that the MagSlider Lid comes apart for thorough cleaning. And the wide handle fits your hand nicely even with gloves.
If you’re looking for an insulated vessel to keep beverages hot and cold all day long, the YETI Rambler Vacuum Bottle is the best of the best. We’ve been using the Rambler day in and day out for years, and it’s the most durable water bottle we’ve owned by far. The handle on the lid makes this bottle easy to carry, and we absolutely love how the chug cap allows us to drink on the go without spilling. The Rambler is offered in a variety of sizes and colors, but our favorite is the 36 oz. Check it out on our list of the Best Water Bottles.
If you need a duffel that’s rugged and fully waterproof check out the YETI Panga. This beast of a bag is awesome for water-centric adventures like rafting and boating when you have important things you need to keep dry. It has multiple carry options and a super wide opening so you can easily load and unload gear. The Panga comes with a steep price tag, but we think it’s worth the splurge for those that want weather protection, top-quality materials, and construction that will last a lifetime. Check it out on our list of the Best Duffel Bags.
The YETI Lowland Blanket is excellent when you need a warm, cushy mat to keep you dry and insulated from the ground. We love using ours at the park to play with our toddler, but it’s also super handy as a camp rug or a crash pad for wet dogs. It’s easy to shake debris off of this blanket when you’re ready to go inside, and it’s machine washable so you can make it like-new after each trip. Like all YETI products, the Lowland Blanket is incredibly durable and well-made, so it’s worth every penny if you’ll put it to good use. Check it out on our list of the Best Camping Blankets.
Trailhead Dog Bed
Whether we’re at home or out adventuring, knowing our dogs are comfortable and well taken care of is really important to us. The YETI Trailhead Dog Bed provides our pups with a warm place to sleep at night and gives them a sense of security and familiarity wherever they go. Its high-quality construction and durable materials should stand the test of time with our doggos. We also love that you can use the whole bed with the base at home or grab the removable lightweight travel pad for camping and road trips.
Ice Packs
YETI coolers can keep food and drinks cold for an incredibly long time, but some of the keys to that are proper pre-chilling and using plenty of ice. You’d have to buy several bags of ice to fill a large cooler, which can be costly and inconvenient. But YETI’s Ice Packs can be frozen over and over and used to supplement ice, so you won’t have to purchase as much. Plus they won’t melt, which means less draining. YETI Ice Packs come in a variety of sizes that are easy to pack. And, of course, they’re incredibly durable so they’ll last for many years.
