YETI

Frequently Asked Questions

• What makes YETI drinkware and coolers better suited for extended outdoor trips?

  YETI uses 18/8 (304) stainless steel and double‑wall vacuum insulation to extend temperature retention, and models like the Tundra cooler are engineered to hold ice for days. Products are built for rugged use—thicker walls, reinforced latches, and BPA‑free Tritan®/polypropylene lids—so drinkware and coolers integrate across an ecosystem (interchangeable lids, cupholder compatibility) for dependable performance in hunting, fishing, and camping.
• How do I decide between the Rambler 20 oz and 30 oz tumblers?

  Choose the 20 oz Rambler if you prioritize a narrower profile and lighter carry—3.5" x 6.6", 0.9 lbs—and frequent cupholder compatibility; pick the 30 oz if you want longer sipping between refills—4.0" x 7.8", 1.1 lbs—for longer outings. Both use 18/8 stainless steel and the MagSlider lid (splash‑resistant, not leakproof), so the decision mostly comes down to how much volume and weight you want to carry.
• Which YETI lids should I use for hot drinks, cold drinks, or carbonated beverages?

  For hot drinks, the HotShot lid is designed for safer hot‑liquid sipping; the MagSlider is splash‑resistant and good for everyday hot or cold use but is not leakproof. Avoid Chug and Straw lids with hot or carbonated beverages—those are for cold, still drinks—while the Stronghold or similar leakproof travel lids are best when you need a secure seal for travel.
• Are Tundra coolers portable enough for boat or truck use, and what tradeoffs should I expect?

  Tundra coolers are overbuilt for exceptional ice retention and structural strength—heavy and often several times the weight of thin‑shell coolers—so they excel in trucks, boats, and extended camps where durability and multi‑day ice retention matter. The tradeoff is added weight and bulk, so they’re less suited for ultralight backpacking but ideal when toughness and long ice life are the priority.
• How do I clean and care for YETI drinkware, lids, and coolers?

  Most Rambler drinkware is dishwasher safe and the stainless bodies resist staining, while lids are made from BPA‑free polypropylene #5 or Eastman Tritan™; cleaning lids by hand and drying seals thoroughly will help maintain fit and function. Coolers rinse clean with mild soap and water and should be left open to air dry before storage to prevent odors and mildew.
