Yeti Coolers

If you need a cooler that can withstand damn near anything — including a run-in with a wild grizzly bear — look no farther. Yeti Coolers ($160-$1,100) are made using the same rotational-molding method used to make whitewater kayaks, and feature unbreakable hinges, ATV-tested rubber T latches, handles made from marine-grade nylon with a ribbed rubber grip, screw-in, gasketed, leak-proof drain plugs, and integrated padlock ports on both corners. Our 25-quart Yeti Roadie cooler has been the perfect size, and has gotten a ton of use (and abuse) this summer. One word: hardcore.
