YETI Tundra 45 Hard Cooler

$325.00
★★★★★4.8(5,200 reviews)

The YETI Tundra 45 is the benchmark hard cooler for serious campers, anglers, and hunters. Rotomolded construction makes it virtually indestructible — it's certified bear-resistant (IGBC) when used with padlocks. Three inches of PermaFrost insulation keeps ice for days, not hours. Holds 26 cans with a 2:1 ice-to-contents ratio, or fits a weekend's worth of food for a family of 4. The T-Rex lid latches are heavy-duty rubber with molded-in anchors, and the NeverFail hinge system won't crack even in subzero temperatures. Dry ice compatible.
