YETI Hopper Portable Cooler

Product Description

Hopper

There are some adventures where we just want to grab our stuff and go. That’s where the Hopper comes in. It’s the first 100% leakproof portable cooler. We’ve engineered it the way we do everything — to keep ice for days and be tough as nails. So don’t call it a soft cooler — it’s anything but. The Hopper is loaded with features you won’t find on any other cooler and built to go the extra mile, whether that’s down a wild river in a kayak or on a floatplane trip to a remote salmon stream.

DryHide Shell The Hopper’s high-density fabric is waterproof and resistant to mildew, punctures, and abrasion. The liner is made from a FDAapproved food-grade material.

ColdCell Insulation Closed-cell foam offers far superior cold-holding to ordinary soft coolers.

HydroLok Zipper We borrowed from survival suits and hazmat protective gear to make the ultimate waterproof, airtight closure.

Tie-Down Points Six D-ring tie-down points give you multiple ways to secure the Hopper.

HitchPoint Grid Easily attach pretty much anything to your Hopper. Bottle openers, carabiners, or accessories like the YETI SideKick Gear Case.

Double-Stitched Carry Options With a detachable shoulder strap and three different sets of reinforced handles, you’ve got options on how to make the load easier to carry.

Ice melted within hours and it's NOT leakproof
by Amazon Customer (1 out of 5 stars)

I bought the YETI Hopper TWO Portable Cooler (30) for a mid-summer drive from Vermont to Florida. I decided it buy it because I needed to keep the contents of my freezer cold for the entire trip. Followed the included instructions exactly: pre-cooled it overnight before I loaded it. Made sure the ice to content ration was 2:1. Filled all air pockets with ice. Pulled the zipper HARD to close it (to make sure it was fully closed).

I had to lay it on its side because of the way the car was packed, but I figured that was ok since there were no warnings not to (plus., the zipper still had the "100% Leakproof" tag attached to it).

We drove for 12 hours in 90 degree heat. The car was air conditioned and we never opened it once. When we arrived at our destination there was water everywhere! Most of the ice had melted and the water seeped through the zipper.

This a YETI? Wow. Not impressed.

Overrated expensive and does not live up to all the hupe!

I purchased this item though expensive because I believed it would do the job. Well, it does not. I have used it on several Two day trips and it does not keep the food inside cold. So I purchased a second Yeti liquid coolent and used two frozen blocks in the Hopper leaving too little room for the food. Never opened the Hopper in the two days I was away and when I opened it at the end of the second day both blocks were thawed and the food was warm and I had to throw them away. I am so disappointed with this purchase. So now I am told I cannot return it and it is a piece of junk as far as I am concerned. I tell all my friends at the Yacht Club not to purchase it or any one of the other offerings from Yeti.

Very heavy, difficult to pack and unpack, hard to zipper, ice pack takes a lot of interior space and doesn't keep items as cold as it claims. I would not buy this item again.

Nice, but not worth the obnoxious price
by Arlington Virginia (3 out of 5 stars)

This is a very well constructed cooler and is good looking. It does what it is supposed to. However, this Yeti is obnoxiously overpriced. I found a similar cooler that was 1/8th of the price an kept ice for almost as long. While it may not hold up as well, I could replace it every couple of years and still save money. Yeti also only has a three year warranty. For $400 I expected a lifetime warranty. Finally, while the 40 is a massive thing of beauty, Keep in mind that when you fill it up, it can be extremely heavy. I bought a little two wheel cart for it. Last gripe, the cooler that is 1/8th the cost comes with two bottle openers attached and a dry pocket to store things. Yeti has these as options and it will cost you about another $50-100. Yeti should be an all inclusive package for the prices they charge.

A complete waste of money!
by W. T. Hanley (1 out of 5 stars)

I bought this product specifically for a automotive trip I was taking over a three day period. I kept the cooler in a refrigerator for two days at 37 degrees prior to loading it. I put 2 frozen Yeti ice packs in the bottom of the cooler, loaded it with 8 bottles of water which were chilled to 37 degrees. I then packed in 4 frozen bottles of water into the spaces between the chilled bottles. Now I admit that this does not follow the product instructions for "two-to-one" ice to beverage loading but, if I did that there wouldn't be hardly any room for beverage. The cooler never left the car interior for 56 hours where the ambient temperature was 72 degrees all but nighttime hours when it was high 70's. It was only opened for 30 seconds at a time to remove two bottles of water. After 56 hours the frozen packs were all thawed and just cool. This cooler is no better than other coolers that cost 70% less. It is also much heavier and difficult to unzip the opening. A complete waste of money.

Excited but then I used it.....
by Kindle Customer (1 out of 5 stars)

I expected this cooler based on all of the hype to actually have ice last for more than a day. Inside of an apartment at 70 degrees a full 15 -20 lb bag of ice did not last over 24 hours. When opened, just a bunch of cold water. Disappointed

Great cooler and purchase
by TarheelJim (5 out of 5 stars)

I saw this during PrimeDays and decided to purchase it. I haven't owned a Yeti before and was looking for a durable and bag-style product. The Yeti is a perfect product for camping, day trips and longer travel. The first outing we used the cooler was for a camping trip to the Rocky Mountains. This was a primitive camp, with zero power and was during the summer. We used a frozen jug of water and had several frozen items in the cooler. From the first day to the third, our food, vegetables and meat were icy cold and we have to thaw the meat on the second day to cook it. This was while the cooler baked in a bear box in the summer sun. I'm sold on this cooler and Yeti and would recommend to anyone.

More Convenient Than Hard Coolers
by GARRIGA (5 out of 5 stars)

I use mine to transport fillets from long range trips. Currently using the 20 for that and not enough capacity so I ordered this 40. Thinking of getting another and selling the 20. Now I can carry to coolers with 80 plus pounds of fillets from boat to vehicle to home. Easier to stack in the vehicle. Easier to store when not in use.

Too heavy for a day at the beach. For that I'm in the process of getting a Hopper BackFlip 28 and carry on my back.

I understand the rational for Yeti discontinuing but that might be a product of not promoting the fact the 40 size also serves as a great carryon when transporting fish or meat on airlines. Keeps frozen items frozen for long periods. Hopefully they bring these back.
