Does YETI Ice Really work? YETI Ice Review

[@haoleboy7835]

Good vid, but IMO you cant beat frozen water bottles, cant tell you how many times i was so happy to have more water in my cooler, ice cold water if i needed it

[@mototitanic]

I spend 170-200 nights per year on the road with work. Sometimes I will have a 2 day drive to smaller towns with very limited food options. I pre chill with cleaned out windshield washer fluid jugs the night before and then use the 4lb packs (2 for my 20, 4 for my 45) and no additional ice. Obviously all my food to transport is refridgerated and/or frozen before going in. Ive mounted a thermoworks fridge/freezer thermometer to both coolers to be able to monitor whats going on in there. Mid summer I have no issues getting my food where it needs to be safely. The ice packs may seem expensive but the fact that they fit so perfect and do not bulge when frozen is nice. Just like the coolers themselves I would recommend to those who use them very often.

This was the review I needed. Thank you!

[@richpeace5575]

Thank you for watching and for adding your experience.

[@matthewj16]

The yeti ice pack is an absolute must. I have the flip 12 and originally I did not get the ice pack. The cooler was useless. Called yeti and complained and they recommended the ice pack and placing loose ice in on top of the ice pack. Unbelievable efficient now. 90 degree weather, 12 hours later no ice melting. The ice molds itself onto the ice pack. That’s the trick to an efficient yeti cooler. Worth every penny of the $250.

[@tomunderhill38]

It is dog shit, my $2.50 3 pack from k mart last 3 times longer.

Very informative, thank you. I just got the Yeti Tundra 35 for my birthday and as a truck driver (which is the reason why it was gifted to me) I think I'll benefit from using Yeti Ice. Thank you.

This review is spot on to my own experience with Yeti coolers and Yeti Ice. My family spends a lot of time at the beach in SC during the summer, as well as, outdoor entertaining at home. The coolers and ice bricks always hold up to the temperatures and frequent cooler openings.

[@jakestevens7283]

I got so depressed when you said it's not supposed to replace ice

[@Koletrain]

tough

[@Enzo575]

It acts as a perk to make your ice last longer. Remember to use ice with it

[@LaurelBelleW]

I don't know about the Yeti ice, but I use the Cordova ice and it does replace ice. I hope you give it a try! I have more in there than they recommend, but no ice.

[@michaeldew1508]

You CAN use them standalone like you said but yes, longer trips and higher temps, this is a supplement only. Still awesome. I love being able to take a 10L cooler and a couple bricks, precooled with cold drink and food for beach days. Just enough chilllll for a day.

[@gigipeeples2699]

Thanks for the info. Just bought the Hopper Flip 18 and the 4lb Yeti ice ($29.99 BTW).

[@TheBigRott]

GREAT VIDEO!! I've just become a Yeti Hopper Flio owner and I'm loving the videos you made. You are very thorough and share good information about the Hopper. I have the Flip 12 and 18 and bought some Yeti Ice for them. PLEASE re shoot the video of the Hopper filled with ice AND Yeti Ice !! That would be awesome. Thanks again my friend

[@kaylaw366]

The yeti ice is great for weekend camping trips. You don’t have to put anymore ice in all weekend. Good buy!

[@MegaChocs]

Awesome review, very helpful and now I’m on my way to purchase yeti ice. Thanks again for your advice on food safety

[@hipsteralex6761]

I know this is an old vid, but anyone who comes here should know that Ozark trail 2lb is $12 compared to $24, and the same performance. What you need to consider is the size and how it fits. I use a combo of Ozark Trail and Yeti ice for my 2 day picnic cooler.

[@fmxmyway]

Thanks homie. Appreciate the knowledge transfer. Had no idea what the actual benefit was and how it worked. Just thought it was meant to take the place of ice.

[@twazerplease1]

How'd it work out for you brother? Just got mine!

[@rjwask925ify]

Does the Flip 18 fit into a golf cart?

[@Enzo575]

You rated this a 7.2/10. So what's rated higher than that?

[@SmoothbassmanStudios]

Cooler Shocks are awesome, work the best and are much cheaper. In a pre-chilled roadie cooler I can keep my drinks cold for 48 hours with two cooler shocks and no ice on the back of my truck in the summer heat. I have been impressed. Yeti ice doesn't last as long from my tests, but are still a good option. I just prefer the Cooler Shocks.

[@DoritosResidue]

I have the same exact results. I own yeti ice , ozarktrail blocks , tourit and coolershock ice pack (virtually identical). Yeti ice melts the fastest! Those coolershock and tourit ice packs absolutely kill yeti ice and ozark. They are far colder and last much longer! They are the true alternative to ice.

[@rizrizobiz4166]

What he said ! Cooler Shock Rocks.

[@gagelong9087]

I bought a 4 pack of cooler shock. 2 of them leaked everywhere after just a few uses. Trash!

[@DoritosResidue]

I have a few yeti ice, ozark trail ice blocks , coolershock ice packs, and tourit ice packs. Yeti ice melts the fastest, ozark ice blocks last longer. What kills yeti and ozark? Coolershock and tourit ice packs. They are much more colder which you can tell once you pick them up. They stay iced longer and dryer. By the the time yeti ice and ozark starts to melt these Ice packs are crunchy. The only downfall if you want your cans or bottles really organized the ice packs are not really uniformed, not completely flat. If you are a bit OCD like me it will drive you crazy.

[@mikegarcia7452]

Did u compare the ozark trail cooler to the yeti hopper? I heard the ozark holds ice longer.

[@DoritosResidue]

@@mikegarcia7452 yep I did. I have 2 m30s. They hold ice tons longer than Ozark trail soft coolers . That's just the m30 because I also have the backflip. It's not better than Ozark trail higher end soft coolers

Just stumbled upon this vid! Great information!

[@RishiDevanoor]

@4:20 very important message, crucial. Really appreciate it. Helped me Rich. much appreciate it.

[@LaurelBelleW]

I actually do use them as ice replacement. I camp at least once a month, and I live in Florida. I have been using the ones from Cordova without any other ice. I'm looking at getting the Yeti ice because it would fit better in my Tundra. I love it because I don't have to weed through ice, and nothing gets water logged.

[@tjj5337]

Hey, it’s JD Vance!

[@drewvenegas2885]

I thought about buying the ozark trail options, but I’d figure why not just freeze a couple of bottles of water instead. Might still pick up the pack just cause of the aesthetic.

[@DoritosResidue]

I have the yeti ice and ozark. The ozark lasts much longer while getting the same ice freezing results. Yeti ice is the worse performing out of the ice blocks and ice packs I own. The best by far are tourit and coolershock ice packs.

[@chocolatechipslime]

I freeze water bottles, and when they melt I drink them

[@WLyons9856]

I think these ice packs work best with the soft coolers. Harder coolers work better with straight ice. My hopper 12 with yeti ice and the bottom will keep a 12 pack ice cold all day without ice.

[@andrewilliams9921]

I found that placing any type of ice packs on the bottom and having ur drinks or whatever ur going put in ur cooler precold and putting ice on top will make the ice last alot longer and the cooler won't be as heavy cuz of less ice needed.

[@hanzohattorri2471]

What ice pack would u suggest to get a 10 since the yeti 4lb u gave a 7.2?

[@andrewilliams9921]

Like to know how it performs to other brand ice packs,or is it basically the same as the others and Yeti just slapped their name on it or does it out lasts the others?

[@kona_brew]

Not 7 or 8, but firm 7.2? Dang, was about to buy it if it was above 7.6.

Hi, thanks for watching and for the comment! I am not JD Vance, although at least once a day I am stopped in public with someone referencing him. In fact I’ve had folks ask for a picture. Kinda odd. But all that to say, I’m not him, and your observation of resemblance is apparently accurate.

[@griffinrogers4732]

When I use the Yeti Ice as instructed, with the yeti ice at the bottom and the mound of ice cubes on top, I find that when I open it up a few hours later the ice has formed a giant ice burg and all of my cans and food are encased inside of this brick. Do you have a solution for this? Or am I just doing it wrong? I find it really annoying

[@harirao12345]

Great review! Can Yeti Ice be used over and over again? Or is it one time use only?

[@richpeace5575]

Over and over again. We use ours weekly. Thanks for watching!

[@studiompodcastnetwork5119]

It’s meant to be used over and over again. When you get home from your weekend trip with your yeti, toss the Yeti Ice packs in your freezer for next time. Also, pre-chill your Yeti cooler the day before the day you leave with your Yeti cooler: take your Yeti into your house (don’t leave it outside in the sun all day), and open the lid up. This will allow your Yeti cooler to cool down from your home’s air conditioning, which is important because the cooler’s thick insulated walls retain heat or cold very well. So the worst thing to do is to let your cooler sit outside the day before, then the morning of your trip you throw in food/ drinks and a few bags of ice. Those thick heavily insulated walls of the cooler are warm from the previous day or week of sitting out in the sun and you’re doing a huge disservice to yourself by not pre-chilling your cooler. When I’ve brought my cooler inside to pre-chill it the day before, I also throw in a 5 pound bag of ice and let that sit in the yeti to better pre chill it. Some people call this bag of ice the “sacrificial” bag since you’re not really gonna use this ON your drinks/ food, but it definitely still serves a purpose. Then, when it comes time to pack your cooler for your trip the morning of, toss the old ice out, place your frozen Yeti Ice packs at the bottom, pour in a layer of ice on top of the Yeti Ice packs, then fill the cooler with your drinks/ food/ whatever, and then toss a new bag or two of ice in and you’re all set! Hopefully this helps you get the MOST out your Yeti cooler!

[@thomashale1582]

I have a tundra, 35, 45, and 65, I use for river trips, use for mostly beer, would they be worth buying?

[@richpeace5575]

I think it depends on how long you’re out out how often you’re opening. My tundras do great for 4 days on just ice, if they’re filled up solid and not being opened a lot. If you’re opening a lot (would make sense to grab beers :)), then I would probably throw a couple of them on the bottom.

Hey Mr.Pearce my birthday is in a couple weeks and i plan on getting a university of GA soft pack cooler to use for a life long term and knew that i would need a ice pack i looked on academy and academy had a the yetti 1 pound ice pack for $15 was kinda on the fence of doubt about the yettie ice pack then after i heard what you said at 4:20 that was the nail in the coffine for me that changed my mind because im looking for a ice pack that can be frozen for 8 hours or so and still keep my cooler and drinks cold. i would also like to ask how long does your yetti ice pack stay frozen cold???

[@the_long_wait]

I’m looking at the Responsible Ice by Cell Cooler. Can’t vouch for it but it’s a small business and from a rational perspective it makes more sense to have a big block of ice. Smaller blocks melt faster.

[@krdpoutdoors]

@@the_long_wait i agree 100% , im a real big diehard freshwater fisherman meaning i mostly spend my time fishing freshwater for Largemouth and Smallmouth bass and as well as catfish , so i knew i would need a ice pack that could go guns blazing for 8 hours at minimum and 12 hours at most , spo i purchased the small cooler shock ice pack and i had days that from 10:00AM / 11:00 AM through 6 to 8 PM at night the small cooler shock ice packs still went going guns blazing strong , to this day cooler shock and igloo ice packs for $5 for my birthday and together both these ice packs still go guns blazing strong after a 7 to 8 hour shift. So i know i personally can sleep at night knowing that cooler shock is gis blazing strong. Now in the ice pack world yetti and Cooler Shock are the kings and top dog of the ice pack world. i hope this helps you to make a decision that best benifets you.

For a 5 day trip without access to fresh ice, would you use this or dry ice in a tundra 65?

[@richpeace5575]

Oh man - great question. I would trust the yeti ice if I had several of them and was super diligent about keeping the cooler closed as much as possible. I’ve never actually used dry ice in my Tundras so not sure I can comment on that. But if you start with a cooler full of ice on top of several blocks of Yeti Ice I think you’ll be fine. I’ve had my Tundra 45 keep ice for a week without supplementing with Yeti Ice, but we started with a cooler packed with ice and only opened once or twice a day. Hope that helps, and thanks for watching.
