That’s when Yeti fever took off, though the name for the Yeti was given as the Abominable Snowman. Then American oilman Tom Slick mounted several expeditions.

The Yeti figure has its origins in folklore. The character is an ancient and important part of the legends and history of the Sherpa, the communities that live at an average altitude of 12,000 feet in eastern Nepal. Shiva Dhakal collected 12 traditional stories in his book Folk Tales of Sherpa and Yeti.

“The Abominable Snowman was obviously no mean rock climber,” he wrote in 1952. He later led an expedition to find a Yeti on Everest, but the results were inconclusive.

The yeti, also known as the Abominable Snowman, is a legendary creature that is said to inhabit the upper reaches of the Himalayas. Stories of people seeing the yeti or its footprints are common in parts of India, Nepal and Bhutan.

YETI Drinkware is over-engineered. Our stainless steel Tumblers, Bottles, Colster® Can Insulators, Mugs, Wine Tumblers, Stackable Pints and Jugs are designed with double-wall vacuum insulation, and a No Sweat™ Design. The tumblers will keep your soda, beer, wine, smoothie, or mixed drinks ice cold.

Stones Boatyard are proud to be the UK’s biggest YETI stockists, offering a huge range of YETI coolers, Rambler drinkware and much more. Order before 11am for next working day delivery.

It is currently not possible to purchase YETI products through EBAY or AMAZON in Europe. Make sure you purchase directly from YETI.com in Europe to ensure you receive an authentic YETI.

Tough and durable The Yeti performed extraordinarily well in drop tests, especially when dropped on its body. The bottle had some small denting on the bottom, but it barely had any wobble to it, which is really saying something after being dropped onto concrete three times.

From classic ice chests to heavy duty soft packs, here are our picks for the best coolers for every occasion.

• Best Overall Cooler: YETI Tundra Haul Cooler.
• Best Budget Cooler: Igloo Tag Along Too Cooler.
• Best Soft-Sided Cooler: REI Co-op Cool Haul 24 Soft Cooler.
• Best Tote Bag Cooler: Hydro Flask Insulated Tote.

For example, after five days, the Coleman Xtreme retained 11 more pounds of ice than the Igloo MaxCold. That translates to the Coleman Xtreme being 20 percent more efficient than the Igloo MaxCold overall in ice retention during the same time period.

Best Air Coolers with their Price List (July 2021)

According to Mark Gallina, liquid cooling more “efficiently distributes heat over more convection surface area (radiator) than pure conduction, allowing for reduced fan speeds (better acoustics) or higher total power.” In other words, it’s more efficient, and often quieter.

Liquid Cooling. The flashier option for temperature management, liquid cooling offers incredible performance combined with a visual appeal that no other cooling system can match. In these systems, liquid (typically water) transfers heat away from components and is generally much better at heat management than air alone …

A water cooling kit will reduce the need to use more than one fan in your PC case. Most liquid-cooled units do include one fan in the build, though. The liquid system takes on the bulk of the work, while the fan circulates the air.

The two types of glycol most commonly used for liquid cooling applications are ethylene glycol and water (EGW) and propylene glycol and water (PGW) solutions.

Antifreeze, a solution of a suitable organic chemical (most often ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, or propylene glycol) in water, is used when the water-based coolant has to withstand temperatures below 0 °C, or when its boiling point has to be raised.

Assuming a fixed amount of circulating fluid and radiator capacity, running 100 percent water would be the most efficient coolant in terms of its ability to conduct heat with minimal temperature rise. In other words, of all common liquids, water requires the most heat energy to change its temperature.

Heat Transfer Efficiency – Glycol is 5-10% less efficient than water in transferring heat. However, this is more than recouped by the elimination of scale, dirt, and corrosion that can reduce heat transfer!

No Overheating. Water turns into steam at 212°F. Mixing traditional ethylene glycol antifreeze with water in a 50-50 ratio increases the boiling point to 223°F, which is close to the operating temperature of an engine.
