Like I said, I'm also in the fishing world - where the Yeti is the CF bike of coolers. Yes, they are nice and durable, but $$$$$.
I own a Coleman Extreme 120qt. Paid $75 at Wallyworld - the same Yeti at the time was over $700+++. The Yeti will hold ice a few % longer than the Extreme. And since my Extreme is going on 15 years old - durability argument is out the window. Yeti also sells a 5 gallon bucket for $70++, and they invented a reason fisherman "need" said bucket.
The marketing parallel is there... and it goes with my post on this subject in the other thread - what do you really gain by spending the extra money? I understand the "want" part, I want a Time Alpe d'Huez in the worst way... but the reality is, that bike will do nothing for my riding, just like a Yeti bucket will do nothing for my fishing.
