Got the new plug from Yeti. The leak has stopped. Condensation around the plug is the only moisture on the outside of the cooler now.

Anyone else have a Yeti that leaks? My Roadie 20 leaks around the drain plug. Yeti is supposed to be sending me a new plug, if that doesn't work they say they will replace the cooler. Just curious if it's a common issue.

My Roadie leaked also, they had to send me a new cooler. My new one has not leaked yet, but I am definitely watching it. Mine was leaking where they molded the drain plug into the cooler wall. You could see light around the plug, it looked like very shotty work. I was pretty upset given the reputation of the coolers.

That said customer service was great. They sent a shipping label, I stuck it to the actual cooler. Few weeks later I had a brand new cooler at my door.

Mine's similar. Where the plug threads in looks like the molding process wasn't 100%. Very rough and the plug threads look "loose". The condensation around the plug makes me thing the insulation around the plug isn't quite right. I'm definitely going to keep an eye on it. So far their customer service has been great to deal with.

I guess tht would be something good to look at if someone was about to purchase one.
Good info to pass along.

pelican says do what you want with their cooler even drop it out a airplane and if it breaks pickup pieces and they will replace it for life

I'm going to be buying either a K2 or something like it for my jeep and hunting, plan to build a rear tube mount for it to replace the tailgate on my jeep. I'm sick of cheaply built coolers and losing beer/ ice easily

Re: Re: Anybody out there with a Yeti? Worth the money?

picked up a roadie last week just b/c it fit the rack on my buggy, I love it, ratchet strap it down and the lid still works, and latches tight enough not to get the cold water down the back on steep dropoffs or flops!!! Love it!!

scared to death!!!!!

Looking to get us a new cooler. Would like a good on for wen we go camping. We have a few cheep ones. just tired of running and getting ice every day.

Does anyone remember which one you were supposed to stay away from because of their stance (I think) on guys? I think it was yeti.

It just is I am going to spend some coin I want to support someone that supports us.

tall boy · Jul 22, 2019

there are a bunch of them out there that are just as good if not better than veti. I have a Yeti and it was dumb expensive. even the cheap ones do well these days. RTIC and Orca...

TBItoy · Jul 22, 2019

Just get one of the Walmart ones.

all of the outdoor cooler companies support hunting or outdoor groups that fight to stop motorized recreation.

The yeti controversy was because of the NRA (which are a bunch of crooks too)

I got the lifetime cooler from Walmart. It's a decent cooler and way cheaper than the yeti and I like how they latch too
