The best Black Friday Yeti deals are almost here, and few brands are more popular during shopping holidays. Yeti has a simple value proposition: They make the best coolers in the world— full stop. When we recently set out to test that claim, we found that Yeti still does it better than the rest. The brand doesn’t shy away from its status as a premium brand. They make goods for people who aren’t afraid to pay more if it means getting a better, longer-lasting product. Besides, Yeti coolers and drinkware don’t just keep cold items cold and hot items hot. They don’t just come in cool colorways. They’re also status symbols, and for good reason.
Precisely because Yeti coolers are on the pricey side, they make excellent gifts for men. It’s the kind of luxury product someone might hesitate to buy for themselves, but would be thrilled to unwrap on Christmas morning. These coolers are also perfect companions for tailgating, fishing trips, and camping adventures. For all these reasons, you’ll frequently find Yeti products in GQ holiday gift guides. Unfortunately, like other premium outdoor brands (we’re looking at you, Patagonia), Yeti doesn’t do sales like other brands. The best Yeti deals are sometimes hard to spot so we’ve pulled them for you ahead of Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
A quick note: We’ve separated the early Yeti deals below into a few categories. And because Yeti holds back its best deals for Black Friday itself, we’ve included a “Deals To Watch” category. Keep checking back, as we’ll update this guide as more Yeti sales go live.
The Best Black Friday Yeti Deals, at a Glance
Drinkware
YETI
Rambler with Straw Cap, 26 Ounce
The best Yeti deals always include the brand’s insulated drinkware, including the always-popular Rambler line. These insulated stainless steel tumblers come in a variety of shapes, colors, and sizes, and they’ll keep your coffee warm as effectively as your Yeti cooler keeps your beer cold.
YETI
Tall Rambler Colster
Don’t call it a Koozie—that’s a federally registered trademark. Instead, call it a “Colster” and grab ’em while they’re on sale. If you’re in charge of stocking stuffers this year, you can’t go wrong here.
Coolers
YETI
Hopper Flip 18 Cooler
Yeti’s soft coolers sometimes get overlooked, but they’re excellent companions to their big brothers. This mid-sized cooler can hold up to 30 cans, and you can clip on a water bottle or other accessories with the daisy chain side straps.
YETI
Hopper Flip 12 Soft Side Cooler
You know Ace: it’s the place with the helpful hardware folks. And because this is the 21st century, your neighborhood hardware store also has an online store, where you can find select colorways of popular Yeti products on sale. While other retailers are holding back Yeti deals for Black Friday, there’s no need to wait.
YETI
Roadie 24 Cooler
The Roadie 24 is big enough to store bottles of wine but small enough to fit in your backseat. Only select colorways are on sale so far, but keep an eye on this cooler for more savings as the holidays approach.
YETI
Tundra 65 Cooler
The Tundra 65 is one of Yeti’s best, most rugged coolers. If you need a cooler for more than just storing beer, it can hold provisions for an entire weekend (or more) of camping and fishing fun.
YETI
Tundra Haul Wheeled Cooler
If you’re cool with the King Crab neon orange colorway—and you should be, because what’s cooler than high-visibility orange in the great outdoors?—then you can save a cool 15% on this oversized Yeti cooler. This behemoth stores up to 82 cans of the good stuff.
Bundles
YETI
The Bring The Party Set
Outside of events like Prime Day, it’s hard to find many Yeti deals. However, the company is offering 20% off bundles at the official Yeti store. This set was made with tailgaters in mind, so whether you’re a college football fan or a ride-or-die, table-smashing member of the Bills Mafia, be sure to pack this bundle.
YETI
The Shake Things Up Set
Yeti makes a cocktail shaker? Of course they do. If it can help you enjoy your spirits in the great outdoors, Yeti makes it. This bundle also includes two stackable lowball tumblers, which can keep an espresso martini chilled or a hot chocolate un-chilled.
YETI
Wine Country Set
For vino lovers, this Yeti bundle includes the Rambler Wine Chiller and two 10-ounce Rambler wine tumblers. Impress your friends at your next cookout or camping trip by uncorking a nice chilled Chardonnay.
Deals To Watch
YETI
Roadie 32 Wheeled Cooler
Don’t feel like lugging your heavy cooler through, field, forest, and fen? What about giant parking lots? Nope, not those either. That’s why we’re closely watching prices on the wheeled Roadie cooler, which comes with heavy-duty hardware and wheels for taking your booze on a grand adventure.
YETI
Rambler with Chug Cap, 46 Ounce
This extra-large stainless steel tumbler got a pretty sweet Prime Day discount in October, and so we expect it to go back on sale for the big event come Black Friday.
YETI
Rambler Travel Mug
Need a gift for dad, your husband, or any guy that’s hard to shop for? Try this Yeti travel mug for taking your morning coffee (or Sunday beer) on the go. Yeti drinkware gets decent discounts during shopping events, so get ready to add this popular gift to your cart.
YETI
Rambler, 30 Ounce
This tumbler is perfectly sized for cupholders, yet not so big that you’ll be tempted to consume 46 ounces of coffee while stuck in traffic. Look for a Black Friday discount and get one for any commuters on your holiday shopping list. On sale, it’s also ideally priced for Secret Santa and White Elephant gift exchanges.
YETI
Custom Rambler Tumbler, 20 Ounce
Don’t miss out on Yeti’s customization tool. When you shop at the official Yeti store, you can have your initials, simple words like “Papa,” NFL team logos, and other unique accents engraved onto popular Yeti products. Customization starts at just $10 extra, but during holiday sales, you can sometimes find promotions that let you save some green on your custom order.
YETI
Tundra 45 Cooler
This is it: The Holy Grail of coolers. According to who? According to us, and our hand-on guide to the best coolers. We expect that Yeti will discount at least one of its flagship hard coolers for Black Friday-Cyber Monday, and this is the one we have our eyes on. This cooler truly does keep your drinks, food, and booze ice cold for days, and we have the laser temperature gun to prove it.
Can you buy Yeti on Amazon?
Yes, Yeti products are available via Amazon Prime. Normally, when shopping on Amazon, we advise GQ readers to look for products that are sold and shipped by Amazon itself. Primeland is full of sketchy third-party sellers, and if you want to avoid counterfeit products, that’s the safest way to shop. However, Yeti is an exception. When shopping Yeti products on Amazon, look for an Amazon seller called “YETI Authorized.” According to a Yeti representative, this is the brand’s official Amazon seller name, so you can be sure you’re buying genuine products.
