YETI Hopper Flip 8 Soft Cooler

I already have the Yeti 12, but I was in need of something smaller for the day to day things I do, and the 12 was too large. The Yeti 8 fit my need perfectly. The second day I had it, it tipped over and water leaked all over my floor from the melted ice, and I thought the leakproof claim was not correct. A couple of days later, it happened again, but this time no water escaped. Moral to the story, the cooler is absolutely leak proof, when you fully zip the zipper! I am very please with the cooler and it performs as described. I would recommend this product.

Bought this cooler in Dec 2023 after extensive research, hoping that I wouldn't have to buy a new one again for a significant length of time. To be perfectly honest, until the last few months, it's worked great. Rattles around in my work vehicle for 12 hours without complaint, even in extreme heat. Wipes clean and doesn't hold smells. Keeps food chilled for the full 12 hours. Until the seal around the zipper started to fail. It's flaking and the zipper is very clearly no longer watertight. I'm not sure how long it's going to keep things cold without that black sealant on both the inside and outside of the zipper. Reached out to Yeti's warranty department and they agreed to replace it. Again, no issue. Until they tell me they don't have my navy blue colour in stock, I can't request that fantastic new Pacer Purple and "premium colours will require an additional charge." I'm not sure what constitutes a premium colour, as the only colours listed on the site are "seasonal" or "core." They also can't guarantee that I'll get the colour I've asked for. This is super annoying and disappointing. I own several Yeti products because they stand up to 12 hour shifts in hard environments. I could understand if the cooler had literally worn out, or if I'd damaged it. But I followed the care instructions and the zipper is failing. Now I'm worried I'm going to be stuck with a product with the same issue in a colour I don't like for a product that I frankly paid a premium for. Honestly? I'm going to be moving to a cooler with a different company that charges me less up front and guarantees me replacement parts for reasonable prices.

Perfect Fathers Day gift! My husband is a police officer & their uniform colors are olive/army green, khaki. The olive cooler matched perfect for his work SUV. Keeps all his drinks perfectly cold for his 12 hr shifts.
