Maybe the selling point of the tallness of the 24 is that Yeti also wants to appeal to the consumer that drinks wine because wine sales are very strong. They already know that the diehards are going to buy whatever they put out, but also want to attract new buyers and get them hooked too lol They also have shareholders to answer to. Just my theories, I am probably wrong lol
Hey Paul, no I actually think you are correct and I was just trying to be funny in my video about that. The other roadie 20 would never be able to hold a bottle of wine or a 2 liter of Coke without laying it down so I do think this is a strong selling point and will attract new buyers. Great call out and thanks for the comment.
Well presented, thank you JD!! Just received this as a Xmas gift from my son for me to use out on the freshwater when I'm out Bassin' on my 21 ft. Skeeter bass boat. At first, I knew it was Quality, and not an inexpensive gift. Next, I was a little skeptical because there's just not a bunch of available floor space in a bass boat, and certainly I wasn't going to be able to put it in any of the storage areas, which are primarily designed for my fishing rod setups and tackle, so the floor would be the only option. For most of the year I get buy without a lot of fuss with my lunch and drinks, but come the hot summer there's the absolute need for ice and much extra beverage. I've decided its a no brainer, and I'll happily give up the floor space necessary to thoroughly enjoy this beautiful cooler, which I trust (yet untested) will be better than anything I've ever experienced! I ain't drinking beer out there, so I'm going to splurge for one of them dry baskets as xtra insurance that my food & snacks won't get soggy! Thanks again for the nice review! I like the way you rock, so I've subscribed to your channel.
Thank you Bruce!! Really appreciate the feedback. You will love the cooler and it’s worth the sacrifice of some floor space in the skeeter! Thank you for subscribing and for commenting on the video! Happy New Year!! JD.
I’m looking for a cooler in this size range and price that keeps ice four times longer than than a $50 cooler. Unfortunately it seems that what you get is styling, build quality and marginal better ice retention. Got to love the $50 seat cushion.
Hey KG, another viewer made a comment about Lifetime coolers, may want to check them out. I have always been happy with Yeti products and coolers, no complaints on my end except for the steep price tags. Hope you find what you're looking for. JD
Awesome review. Just tried fitting the roadie behind the backseat of my Tacoma. Doesn’t work as I hoped. But it’s still a sick cooler. Wider than I expected.
Jd I like the new coolers I have a 24 foot pontoon and it fits perfect in a space by the rear seats it don’t have carpet on the floors and no matter where I set it it want slide when I get in rough water . But it is heavy full no doubt. It will fit perfectly in my Jeep as well and is not top heavy and want turn over like some when it’s full them rubber feet grips good and keeps it where I put it holds ice all weekend. Going to but one more and just keep it in my boat . Great cooler but is heavy full be safe jd
Hey Randy I was wondering if it would be top heavy so good to know!! 24 foot pontoon?? Let me know where and when the party is, I'll bring the beers!!!
Yeah it's a great cooler. I personally like this one better than the old Roadie 20 but many complain about the lack of a drain plug. On a cooler this size you really don't need one although I see both sides. Enjoy! JD
I just recently bought one of these 24 roadie only reason I purchased I payed $125 and I do like the design. I still think your better off buying a less pricey cooler. Great review man!
Hey speaking of Yeti stuff, I picked up the Daytrip lunch bag the other day. Been using it for a week, not sure how I feel about it yet. Got the 1lb ice block to go in it. It doesn't seem to last as long as I had expected, even in the air conditioned break room at work. I do like pretty much everything else about it, though. Especially not having a zipper to break or come unsewn from the bag.
Justin, honestly not sure how I feel about the lunch bag and I don't have a use for it which is why I haven't purchased it. Glad to see you took a chance on it. Give it time and let us know how it holds up and how you like it.
Have five different size coolers already in the $50 range. They work just fine. I can usually buy expensive tools and just hide them in the garage. My wife has no clue of the cost. Bought a $125 hammer. It’s so nice, I don’t like to hit nails with it. Also have some axes. Same thing…a $200 axe is way too nice to hit on wood. Told some friends since I retired I have been online shopping for tools lately, and watching survival videos (even though I hate hiking, and I’m not f’n carrying anything more than a few steps into the woods). They asked what I bought. I said lately, some German hand tools and a few axes. They asked how many axes I had? I said only four….they said, that is getting weird. Took one of my wicked axes to a camp ground, and of course there is no chopping allowed there, so I couldn’t use it. On the other hand, no way to hide this beautiful Roadie cooler item from the wife. “A $200 cooler” she says? Sometimes you just have to buy things and take the heat year after year…continue to hide the tools though…you have to tell a lot of lies for a strong 37 year marriage!
Great Job JD. Really cool product and great information. Question though? Does Jake have his own Yeti cooler for all of y'alls outdoor adventures? Lol Stay cool brother.
Thank you! If you are looking at this cooler check out the new Roadie 15 they just came out with. I'll have a video on mine in a week or so (haven't received it yet). JD
I’ve just ordered this in the LE Aquifer Blue color and I’m super excited about it. Do you think the handle would be replaceable with an aftermarket/DIY strap? I’ve not found anyone doing anything like this but I’m fairly crafty and can’t help but wonder…
You'll have to tell me how you like the red. I bought a couple of tumblers in that color and didn't like it enough to buy a cooler although the 24 Roadie looks great in that color and I have been tempted for sure. I think the price is still pretty fair for what you get. My original Roadie I bought back in 2012 is still going strong! JD
@@P-dub978 I thought the tumblers that I bought were slightly that way but honestly not so much now that I’ve had them for a while. I think the cooler is going to look good. Might make me want to buy one!! JD
Yes it's kind of an addiction!! I normally buy their new stuff the day it comes out but I did wait on this one for a few months so maybe there's hope?? Haha
I have a reef blue 45 a reef blue rodie 20 and a white rodie 20. This new 24 sucks compared to the 20 won't hold I've for nothing and the drain plug is very useful
I've heard some complaints for sure about the lack of a drain plug. I like that it's a little taller and has more capacity but I also love my roadie as well. Thanks for the comment and opinion. JD

for what its worth i did laugh at the wine joke
Thank you Noah!! I appreciate you telling me that. It was a terrible joke but I tried. JD
13min vid on a cooler. OUTSTANDING
Thanks for checking out the video! JD

Great review, thanks for putting this together!
Thank you Sir!!
Awesome review. Just tried fitting the roadie behind the backseat of my Tacoma. Doesn’t work as I hoped. But it’s still a sick cooler. Wider than I expected.
Hey Jacob, yeah its bigger than I thought as well but to your point still a great cooler. JD

Thanks Juan. JD
Look forward to the video on how it fits in a car, etc. Could you see how it fits in a car trunk? Thank you.
Hey Paul. Sure thing. Glad you called that out as I wasn't planning to really test that but I will now.
My wife wanted the 24 to hold a bottle of wine since she doesn't drink beer... Definitely worth it
I agree, it's a great cooler even if part of it will be taken up by wine!! haha. JD

Thanks for the comment. JD
It reminds me of yeti 5gallon bucket just square.,which I really like mine.
Thanks Pedro. JD
Been waiting for this one, JD
Awesome Matt, thank you!! Hope you enjoyed it, I'll do another one shortly comparing the two and testing out how it fits in vehicles.
Great Job JD. Really cool product and great information. Question though? Does Jake have his own Yeti cooler for all of y'alls outdoor adventures? Lol
Stay cool brother.
Thanks Tom. No Jake does not have his own cooler!!
When the haul came out they discontinued the yeti 50.
I didn't realize that! Thank you for that info!
Nice review 👍
Thank you! If you are looking at this cooler check out the new Roadie 15 they just came out with. I'll have a video on mine in a week or so (haven't received it yet). JD
It’s 250 now thanks to inflation. But got it for 180 at REI. Nice review sir thank you.
Thank you. JD
Nice video nice dog nice house, I’m going to buy a roadie right now✅
Awesome and thank you, you will enjoy it. JD
Hi JD, do you have any experience with the Roadie seat cushion? thanks and rock on!
I don't. They look pretty nice but I've never bought one. If you get one, let us know how it is! JD
lol i don't drink beer or wine but my god if bringing a bottle of wine will get you laid then you'll be glad to bring it
Thanks for the comment. JD
Bahahaha!
What is it with Yeti and wine?
That is a great questions Anthony!! No idea. JD
I’ve just ordered this in the LE Aquifer Blue color and I’m super excited about it. Do you think the handle would be replaceable with an aftermarket/DIY strap? I’ve not found anyone doing anything like this but I’m fairly crafty and can’t help but wonder…
Hey Keri, I'm honestly not sure. Try it out you may like the strap that's on there! JD
So the price went back up. I just bought the 24 roadie in rescue red for $250
You'll have to tell me how you like the red. I bought a couple of tumblers in that color and didn't like it enough to buy a cooler although the 24 Roadie looks great in that color and I have been tempted for sure. I think the price is still pretty fair for what you get. My original Roadie I bought back in 2012 is still going strong! JD
@@JDOffline ok I’ll let you know. I just hope it’s not pinkish 😅
@@P-dub978 I thought the tumblers that I bought were slightly that way but honestly not so much now that I’ve had them for a while. I think the cooler is going to look good. Might make me want to buy one!! JD
@@JDOffline I just got it in. It’s a little pinkish, but I love the color. I’m testing the ice retention now lol
Do you think Yeti will be changing the latches on their larger coolers?
Not sure but I honestly really like the new latches. I'd be good if they did. Happy Holidays. JD
@@JDOffline thanks for the quick response. Happy holidays to you also.
Great idea
Thank you!! JD
Haha that didn’t take long !!! U are going to run out of Yeti stuff soon. I love Yeti too
Yes it's kind of an addiction!! I normally buy their new stuff the day it comes out but I did wait on this one for a few months so maybe there's hope?? Haha
Come on, you load up any cooler with beer and ice it's going to be heavy!
Exactly!! Thanks for the comment. JD
Good joke handsome
Thank you Dorothy!!! JD.
You talk to much. Just get on with the roadie 24
James that’s funny as I promise you I don’t mean to over talk these things. I got to the yeti roadie 24! Hope you enjoyed the video. JD
Do your own review and show us how its done or stfu
I have a reef blue 45 a reef blue rodie 20 and a white rodie 20. This new 24 sucks compared to the 20 won't hold I've for nothing and the drain plug is very useful
