Yeti Tundra vs budget cooler: Yeti wins by days, not hours

Yeti Tundra holds ice 3–5 days in 90°F weather; budget coolers last 1–2 days. The rotomolded construction and freezer-grade gasket make the difference. For a long weekend off-grid, Yeti is worth it, but for short beach trips, a $30 cooler works fine.
