By now everyone knows that Yeti builds some of the most durable and efficient coolers on the market, allowing campers, anglers, and hunters to keep ice frozen for days on end. Those same characteristics are part of what makes the Tundra Haul so great, but this cooler also holds the distinction of being the first Yeti to come with a set of wheels built right in. This makes it far more portable than its predecessors, which were often too heavy and unwieldy to carry too far off the beaten path.

As you would expect from Yeti, the Tundra Haul’s NeverFlat tires are extremely durable, resisting punctures and impacts with ease. Those wheels are paired nicely with a rugged aluminum handle that  can track left or right as needed, making it much easier to maneuver the cooler over difficult terrain. The Tundra Haul is so easy to transport in fact that a single person will have no problem transporting to and from a campsite, park pavilion, or tailgate location. Try that with a fully-loaded Tundra without wheels.

Of course, the Tundra Haul also offers the same level of excellent performance that you’ve come to expect from Yeti.
