The day-trip cooler that never lets them down
The Hopper Flip 12 holds a full dozen cans plus ice, making it the ideal cooler for a day at the beach, a tailgate, or a fishing trip with a buddy. YETI's ColdCell insulation keeps everything frosty from sunrise to sunset without the bulk of a hard-sided cooler.
It's a status symbol that actually performs
YETI has earned its cult following by making products that genuinely outperform the competition. The HydroLok zipper is 100% leakproof, the DryHide shell shrugs off punctures, and the wide-mouth opening makes it easy to load. People display their YETI gear with pride.
Built for people who are hard on their gear
Some people burn through coolers every summer. The Flip 12 is built to handle abuse — UV exposure, rough truck beds, sandy beaches, and constant use. The food-grade liner is mold-resistant and easy to clean. This is the last soft cooler they'll ever need to buy.
