At Hildreth’s we love products that combine practicality, quality, and outdoor living – which is exactly why the YETI range has become such a favourite.
From insulated travel mugs and tumblers to rugged hard coolers, YETI products are some of the most popular outdoor lifestyle accessories available today. Whether you’re heading off on a camping trip, enjoying a summer picnic, working in the garden, or commuting with your morning coffee, YETI drinkware is known for its durability, insulation, and timeless design.
The story behind the brand
YETI was founded in Texas in 2006 by brothers Roy and Ryan Seiders, who were passionate fishermen and outdoor enthusiasts. Frustrated by coolers that cracked, leaked, or failed to keep ice cold for long enough, they decided to create something better.
What started as a small idea quickly became one of the world’s best-known premium outdoor lifestyle brands. Their first product -the famous YETI Tundra cooler – (below) was designed to be virtually indestructible while keeping ice frozen for days, even in extreme heat.
Since then, YETI has expanded into insulated drinkware, tumblers, travel mugs, bottles, and coolers that are now used by millions worldwide.
Today, YETI coolers and cups are loved not only by campers and adventurers, but also by gardeners, dog walkers, commuters, sports enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates beautifully designed everyday products.
Why are Yetis so popular though, really?
One of the biggest reasons people love YETI products is simple: they work brilliantly.
YETI’s double-wall vacuum insulation helps keep drinks hot or cold for hours longer than ordinary cups and bottles. Your morning coffee stays steaming on the school run, while cold drinks remain icy during long afternoons in the garden.
The drinkware is also incredibly durable. Made from kitchen-grade stainless steel, YETI tumblers and mugs are resistant to dents, rust, and everyday wear and tear. They’re designed for real life – whether that means muddy dog walks, family camping weekends, beach trips, or simply surviving the daily commute.
Another reason for the popularity of YETI coolers and cups is the understated design. With classic colours and clean lines, they look smart without trying too hard and suit both outdoor adventures and everyday routines.
More than just camping gear
Although YETI began as a brand for outdoor enthusiasts, the products have become everyday essentials for many fans in the UK too – across Buckinghamshire and beyond!
Gardeners love them for keeping tea hot while working outside. Picnic lovers appreciate coolers that genuinely keep food and drinks chilled all day. Walkers and commuters enjoy travel mugs that don’t leak and fit comfortably into daily life.
YETI hard coolers and soft cool bags are especially popular during summer, whether for family barbecues, festivals, boating trips, or days out with the dogs.
Hildreth’s customers are certainly loving them.
Built to last
In a world of disposable products, YETI has built its reputation on creating products designed to last for years.
That focus on quality is one of the reasons customers return to the brand again and again. A YETI tumbler or cooler is often seen as an investment piece — something reliable you use every day rather than replacing every season.
