Yeti products—particularly their coolers—are famously bear-proof, stylish and durable enough to bring along on a decade’s worth of camping trips. Whether it’s the insulation that helps ice stay chilled after a day in the sun or secure latches that last a lifetime, Family Handyman editors (and readers) can’t get enough of this rugged gear.
While we consider Yeti coolers (and their recently released beverage bucket) summertime staples, they’re handy for any time of the year. However, the real magic begins when you stock up on Yeti cooler accessories. From cup holders to organizers, it’s easy to turn any Yeti cooler into a full-blown camp pantry.
Where to Buy Yeti Accessories
Like normal Yeti accessories, Yeti cooler accessories can be purchased directly on the Yeti site. While there are a few accessories that work across all the brand’s coolers, several are only meant to be used with a certain model.
Whether you own the trailblazing Tundra, the portable Roadie or the miniature Hopper in one of Yeti’s enormous range of colors, you’re bound to find something to elevate your camping trips.
The Best Yeti Cooler Accessories
Yeti Ice
No matter which cooler you own, there’s nothing more handy than having your own ice saver. Yeti’s reusable ice blocks come in one, two and four-pound sizes. Like their other outdoor gear, Yeti Ice is designed to withstand rough handling. Pop it in the cooler with a bag of ice to extend the chill and eliminate premature melting. Treat yourself to something different with these limited-edition new Yeti colors, too.
Yeti Ice Scoop
Looking for an ice scoop that actually holds up? The Yeti ice scoop is our go-to. Made from 316 dishwasher-safe stainless steel, this heavy-duty scoop wrangles and breaks up unruly ice. Sick of watered-down drinks? Perforated holes prevent water from sneaking into your glass.
Security Cable Lock and Bracket
Keep your cooler locked down with this security cable lock and bracket set. Apart from preventing cooler theft, the six-foot-long cable lock is nearly as crack-resistant as the Ultraloq. It also works like a charm to keep the cooler tied down during raging storms or bumpy roads.Â
Hard Cooler Traction Pad
Use your cooler as a casting platform? The SeaDeck hard cooler traction pad offers both a slip-free place to stand and a cushiony seat. Made from foam for comfort, it slips right onto your Tundra. Or, pop the Yeti dog bowl on top for a slip-free meal pad for Fido. This is one of the comfiest Yeti cooler accessories.
Wheeled Cooler Dry Basket
Trying to keep your sandwiches high and dry? Consider adding a couple dry cooler baskets to your cart. Food and dishwasher-safe materials keep snacks above the ice and free from moisture. It fits snugly in Tundra or Roadie coolers, meaning it doesn’t slide around or spill. The size is even suited to other coolers, like the Igloo Trailmate.Â
Slick Horns
Calling all with a flair for the dramatic: it’s now possible to outfit your Tundra cooler with a pair of slick horns. Apart from looking cool and drawing compliments during tailgate parties, these hard horns help keep your rope techniques sharp. Plus, they don’t obstruct the opening or closing of the cooler.
Tundra Cooler Dividers
This cooler divider nestles into the Tundra and keeps sides separate for easy organizing. Choose from an assortment of heights, all of which slide right into the middle separator groove of the cooler. Even better, they double as cutting boards. Making meals with the Yeti cast iron skillet is easier than ever! Pick up the Roadie version here.
Tundra Hard Cooler Seat
One of our favorite boat organization hacks is freeing up room by turning the Tundra into a seat. The Tundra hard cooler seat attaches to the top of the cooler using a set of steel snaps. With two inches of foam, it’s easy to forget that your cooler isn’t really a chair!
Tundra Cooler Baskets
Those afraid of crushing soft foods like fruit and cheese should invest in a few of these Tundra cooler baskets. This organizing problem-solver is shallow enough to fit over a bed of ice, keeping the contents cool and crush-free.Â
Roadie 24 Hard Cooler Basket
Set lunch aside and off the ice with the Roadie 24 hard cooler basket. This plastic storage bin offers an anti-slide design thanks to a traction ring that keeps it securely in place. Pick up two and create a full dry storage shelf right in your Roadie! Bonus: Also check out how the new Oyster Tempo Cooler performs against the cult-classic Yeti Roadie Cooler.
Roadie Wheeled Cooler Cup Caddy
Allow the Roadie to double as a table with this clever cooler cup caddy. Like standard-sized cup holders, it’s large enough to fit two of Yeti’s cups. A middle cavity keeps keys and wallets from getting lost, and the entire thing easily snaps into place. The best part? No hardware is required!
Rambler Bottle Sling
Set down that smart bottle—the Rambler bottle sling lets you climb, hike and read while staying hydrated. Each bottle sling snugly fits Rambler tumblers in 26 or 36-ounce sizes, depending on the specified dimensions. Carry it or attach it to your cooler for a fuss-free way to free up hands.
