The mission of this Bozeman-based company is to make high-performance sportsman’s coolers, comparable to expensive ‘high end’ coolers, with some extra design features and additional capacity, all at a fraction of the price. Available in various colors, Permafrost Coolers have extraordinary thermal properties through the choice of manufacturing materials and features such as their push-button pressure release valve which allows for purging without opening the lid  – thus mitigating loss of temperature.

Their coolers come in three sizes and feature:

  • Full roto-molded construction
  • Push-button pressure release valve
  • Stainless steel padlock plates (which double as bottle openers)
  • Ruler molded into the lid
  • Removable center divider (which doubles as a cutting board)
  • Removable hanging basket
  • Heavy-duty internal hinges
  • Heavy-duty rubber clasps
  • Oversized drain plugs
  • 20qt. coolers also feature a padded carry handle
  • 45qt. and 75qt. coolers also feature quick-remove strap carrying handles
  • 45qt. and 75qt. coolers also feature luggage strap mounts for securing your cooler to a truck, ATV, or boat

To get the very best from your cooler for long term cold storage the company recommends pre-chilling the cooler to avoid using your pack-ice to make the initial reduction in temperature within the Permafrost Cooler. This is easiest achieved by freezing two water-filled gallon milk jugs and leaving them in the cooler overnight. Remove the milk jugs when you’re ready to pack your Permafrost Cooler for travel. A pre-chilled cooler can be expected to hold its temperature below freezing for at least a week (up to 9 days in our field tests). Obviously, once opened or left open the thermal expectations may be compromised depending on the ambient temperature.

For a limited time only:

In 2006 YETI Coolers was founded with a simple mission: build the cooler that you would use every day if it existed. One that was built for the serious outdoor enthusiast rather than for the mass discount retailers. One that could take the abuse we knew we’d put it throughout in the field and on the water. One that simply wouldn’t break. YETI decided early on that product innovation would come from necessity and firsthand experience – not from market research and data analysis. Since then they’ve continued to expand their product line to include not only hard coolers but also soft coolers, drinkware and more.

Hard Coolers

YETI Tundra (at left) coolers are the stuff of legends. They’re built for whatever Mother Nature throws their way, which is surprisingly a long list of incredibly dangerous creatures and weather patterns. But no sweat — these outdoor coolers are more than up for the challenge. Even more impressive, is the fact that Yeti coolers are bear-proof. Their coolers feature a one-piece design made from highly durable roto-molded polyethylene. The lid is one piece, too, attached with molded-in, full-length hinges.

The YETI Roadie (at right) is a small but mighty outdoor cooler that’s ready to hit the road, whether you’re in for a day of tailgating or kicking back at the ranch.

Available in a wide range of sizes and multiple colors.

The Hopper was built for those adventures where you want to grab your gear and go. It’s the original 100% leakproof, ice-for-days portable cooler. And because we used materials found in things like HazMat suits and whitewater rafts, it’s also tough as nails. The Hopper is made in sizes to fit any adventure, whether that’s on a wild river in a kayak or a floatplane trip to remote salmon streams.

Choose from the Hopper Flip (at left) with its easy to open the flip-top lid, or the Hopper Two (at right) with its side-zip opening. Available in multiple sizes and colors.

With 18/8 stainless steel construction, double-wall vacuum insulation, and No Sweat™ Design, they’re perfect for any activity you can throw at them. Find the Rambler Tumbler, Bottle, Colster, or Jug that’s right for your next adventure.

All styles of YETI drinkware come in various sizes and colors.
