I love and baby mine 😂 got it during the launch and it still looks purdy. I mostly use it for beer…36 cans of beer. But also shopping and farmers market stuff, very nice lightweight package for keeping perishables cold for the day. Loved the review! Keep em coming.
My oyster just arrived. It comes with three (really nice) boxes and a logo cardboard spacer. Be sure to remove the inner box holding the cooler as the accessory box is UNDERNEATH the box with the cooler in it.
I stay outside from 6am till usually dark from work to baseball practice so my coolers are a lifeline for us. We live out of them and as yeti fan, i own about ten different ones, hard and soft coolers. Considering getting one of these too. I will say I've seen my yeti freeze bottles of water from nothing but ice several times. No rock salt or anything to bring down the temps . I find these coolers interesting though.
Thanks for sharing! I totally agree. I own a bunch of yetis and this one I use almost exclusively on my flats Boat for fishing. It fits perfectly in the compartment and keeps everything super cold all day long. We use the soft yeti because we carry them up to the beach.
This cooler failed the UPS testing in the back of a UPS truck during SoCal summer months where temperatures are 20-40 degrees higher than ambient outside temps. The oyster cooler with their thermal battery ice packs and adding a half bag of ice did not last to the 6 hour mark and by 8-10 hour mark drinks and contents were warm to the touch and ice packs also very warm and fully melted. Testing was done in the LA region at the end of July of this year (2024). Daily temperatures were between 98-108 degrees between the hours of 9am-8:45pm PST.
@@bobbygfl I go through coolers like crazy and everything from coolers to work boots, coffee mugs and cell phone headsets should go through a UPS proving as I like to say lol. Yeti failed the back of the UPS truck testing as well and returned that cooler many years ago. After trying the oyster I ended up going back to rotating out with my Stanley, Rtic and Pelican coolers. Those 3 have been able to withstand the heat a little better than everything else on the market from my testing. I also must say that the 98-108 air temps does not reflect the heat in back of a UPS truck. Easily add 20-40 degrees to a daily temp and had my thermopen temperature gun was taking daily reading in back of the UPS truck at 120-148
I really have a ton of respect for you and the working conditions. I’ve gotten to know many UPS drivers over the years and they are always so friendly. Usually sweaty lol but very friendly!
Holy cow, I thought you were about to put the cooler in between the seats right in front of your air vents on your truck. I am curious if it will fit there, I have the same back seat room. I am wanting this to put their to have access to a cooler inside the truck but still have people sitting on the outer two seats. I would have loved it if you would have showed that. I don't want to purchase such an expensive item for not to fit, I have measured it, but it's difficult since the seat contours aren't exactly square.
Absolutely not. I weigh 220 and I can use it as a stepstool. Because of the rubber feet it is very sturdy. it doesn’t crush or sink it does ding and dent with smaller, concentrated blows if that makes any sense
The math says a Yeti Large and medium fit but I see in the Video they don't, because the radius of the corners, of the Ice and cooler are different. Have you discovered some combination, of Yeti Ice sizes and thicknesses, that best fit together most efficiently?
This is a great video idea. What fits perfectly is the four pound and two one pound blocks. One of the one pound blocks has to be put on its side. I’ll make a video. Thanks for the idea. With the thickness of yeti ice it’ll keep it cold significantly longer.
@@bobbygfl Did you weigh the Oyster Ice, for reference, or try any combination of Yeti Thin Ice sizes, with or without their regular ice? I'm look forward to your next, cooler/ice, review.
I used Oyster’s thermal battery ice packs but found better results with the Artic Ice packs using their green and blue ice packs but it only kept things colder for about an hour longer in the back of a UPS delivery truck
Seems wise to me. You guys have that yeti v series? Thats about all i use the last 3 years, normal coolers just so trash lol but idk plastic coolers more durable i guess and cheaper but hard for small cars cause so dang bulky
This old technology (remember all those cool vacuum thermos products from the 70s?) is gonna take a big bite out of yeti's overpriced coolers. Until they release their overpriced version of this.
Finally someone who doesn't make me feel bad about all the coolers I have. Lol
Lol. Amen!

Love mine too, great for bringing a hot take away back home.
Right on!

Wow, that’s interesting. my experience with this cooler has been better than any other cooler I have had.

Bro! You're rich😅 i love it. Hopefully one day i can have that kind of money. I'm working on it. Good review bro, i appreciate it
Had mine for about a week and it’s awesome!
It really is!

It would definitely fit there in my truck anyway.
@@bobbygfl thank you, I have the same back seat, mine's a Powerboost rather than a Raptor,, but they are the same dimensions. Thanks again.
Is there any concern about treating it rough and losing the vacuum seal insulation qualities?
I do not have any concern of that. You would really need to actually crush it for that that to happen.
Looking to get one. Curious if it'll dent if a kid or adult sits on it. Thoughts?
Absolutely not. I weigh 220 and I can use it as a stepstool. Because of the rubber feet it is very sturdy. it doesn’t crush or sink it does ding and dent with smaller, concentrated blows if that makes any sense

No, just physical dimensions. I will do a video on this
Does it really need the ice packs? I wonder if it is ok to use any other ice packs
I’ve used yeti ice with the same great result.
I used Oyster’s thermal battery ice packs but found better results with the Artic Ice packs using their green and blue ice packs but it only kept things colder for about an hour longer in the back of a UPS delivery truck
The oyster icepacks are designed to prevent freezing of the cooler contents.
@@jasonluna2280 whats your best tested cooler so far
Will a gallon of milk fit in there?
Two gallons will side by side
No wonder why people won’t pay back their student loans and have no retirement savings…
$500 for a cooler 😂😂😂😂
Lol. Yes, not low priced. That’s for sure.
Does it keep cold for at least 2 days?
Yes, definitely. I would say three days in the garage still cold.
@@bobbygflis that with or without ice?
I wonder how that dent got there 😂
I love the dents lol. Builds character!
Geez..look how easy it dented when he dropped the ice in.
This would never survive in my truck.
It does dent easy but I like the dents oddly. Gives it character.
I want to buy it but I think it's really expensive for a cooler.
I agree, but if you’re in the market for a yeti in many ways, this performs better.
Can you sit on it?
Absolutely, you could stand on it
Looks Inside bottom is easily can dent as soon as you throw the ice pack in bottom is dent 😁
They should make a stainless steal version.
That would be nice. Probably heavy
@@bobbygfl maybe stainless steal just on the outside layer, not the entire cooler.
That’s smart

@epg423 makes sense

It works. Don’t reinvent the wheel I guess. Just make it better lol. Thanks for the comment!
Nice but wayyyy overpriced
It is pricy
