Need a honest yeti/bison review!

[Low Fence]

I own both and even took a pelican last week on our javi hunt. Both trump pelican....

Size to price- bison
Drains- even though bison has 2... Yeti
Lids- bison holds water/dew regardless ...yeti
Latches- I think it's preference... But I prefer yeti
Over all finish- yeti
Customer service- I know bison is awesome
Ice retention- bison (75 vs 65) 21 days is my longest

I have a 110 yeti and a buddy has a 100 brute that we take to lease with ice if we shoot something. We always compare the 2 with each other and can't tell a difference on which holds ice better. But on the roadie compared to the 25 brute there is a difference, the brute always has ice left at the end of weekend.

I have 2 Yeti's (Were Gifts) my experience is they are HEAVY and Ice stays longer but major issue is as is with any cooler they are not going to perform well unless they stay Closed.

[Bison Coolers]

It really just comes down to features, size, price and where it's made. We both have proprietary blends of plastic/insulation and they're made through the same manufacturing process.

We offer a few more features (e.g., custom lid graphics, dual drain plugs, built-in ruler) and true to size capacity. The Bison 75 Quart holds 75 quarts whereas their model 75 only holds 60 quarts. They measure dimensions from the outside and we measure from the inside.

Our coolers are about $75 cheaper on average and they're made in the United States. We source parts from about 5 different states and distribute out of Fort Worth. We've also been a TBH sponsor since 2011

I just like the feel of a yeti over a buffalo (or whatever they are calling themselves this week)

Made in the US doesn't hold the weight it used to......I hear that and I think "overpriced"

I have an early model brute cooler and have not been happy with it at all.

All four rubber feet broke off
The lid is warped (cosmetically, does not affect seal)
Holds ice better than an igloo, but nowhere near a yeti.

Best cooler I own is an engel!

I don't own either, but from everything I've heard and seen, both are good coolers. That being said, if I ever spend that kinda money on a cooler, I'll probably go with a Pelican for some of the features they offer that in my opinion are better.

Yeti gets my vote

[mjhaverkamp]

Yeti's are cooler, Bison's are colder.

I think key word think. If you file a police report about your stolen Yeti, they will give you a discount on a new one. At least they use to. Yeti is my choice.

I had several generation 1 and 2 brutes. I have replaced them with a 25 roadie, 65, 110, and a hopper. I wish Bison the best of luck but I'm a Yeti convert and have Ben fortunate to obtain mine at prices considerably closer to wholesale than retail.

I would like to see a Bison thrown out of a truck, I know yeti holds up pretty well. Anybody have a video. Not that I am going away from Yeti (I get a pretty sweet discount). But would like to see it.

Will this do? Pulled it up on the cooler, snapped a few photos and rolled it off. It's still my regular use cooler.

This has been my experience as well. My Brute lid does have some warpage. Cosmetic problem not function problem. They have offered to take care of it more than once but it isnt that big of a deal to me.

[Bison Coolers]

On our early coolers, we had some foam issues and invested in a new foam machine. Since doing so, we've eliminated all warping issues. Our goal is to make the most bullet-proof product on the market and we've continued to invest in refining the manufacturing process.

We have the best warranty in the business and pride ourselves in customer service. If you ever have an issue, please don't hesitate to email Warranty@BisonCoolers.com.
