In 2018, after the Florida HS shootings, Yeti ‘changed’ their discounts with the NRA, HERE. It was not well received, to put it mildly…
Thermal cup brand YETI has come under fire on social media for refusing to fulfill an order for a young women’s nonprofit leadership organization.
In emails obtained exclusively by FOX Business, the brand had previously fulfilled an order for the Clare Boothe Luce Center (CBL) worth $3,797.84 in May of last year with the same exact logo customization.
The Clare Boothe Luce Center for Conservative Women in northern Virginia, a nonprofit, describes itself as “an all-women organization that specializes in the conservative outreach, education, and mentorship of young women.” The center is named after Clare Boothe Luce, herself a celebrated playwright, congresswoman and ambassador to Italy.

I can’t help but wonder if, even though they are based in Austin, Texas, they haven’t been ‘infected’ with the Austin ‘attitude’… e.g. hard left these days.
Frankly, I’ve always thought they were overpriced, and really pointed their advertising to the yuppie crowd…
Yes, they pay lip service to the rugged individual, but those individuals are always outfitted in the latest, greatest whatever the individual is doing. Maybe that’s just me…
This smacks of once again purposefully dumping a conservative organization, and now that they have been caught, they are dissembling and crawfishing as fast as they can. There are other better and cheaper options, IMHO, including Stanley. They’ve been around for over 100 years, along with Aladdin and I still have and use my Aladdin thermos (2 of them), both of which are over 40 years old.
No, I don’t chase fads either… If it works and ain’t broke, I don’t get rid of it for the newest ‘fashion’ items…
YMMV, and all that stuff…
They’re definitely overpriced, as are the Stanleys.
Drinking my morning brew right now out of a HydroFlask. Recommended by friend out of Fairbanks. V nice. Dumped Yeti a while back.
I’m still using my Thermos.
Does the job.
I’ve got a Thermos stainless steel French Press pot that I bought 25 years ago, still going strong, and makes great coffee and keeps it hot. My Stanley 24-oz wide-mouth is almost 30 years old and still carries a hot lunch every day.
Never attracted to Yeti. Have a 40 year old Stanley that works as good as the day it was new. Somewhere along the line the cup went AWOL.
Ironically, the only Yeti product I have is a tumbler I won at an NRA dinner prior to their blacklisting NRA events, at which point I stopped even considering them. My pelican cooler works great, keeps ice a couple of days in the summer, a day or two more than that in the cooler months.
Our Stanley Thermos has been in service on our deer hunts since early 1980’s. That first sip at OmyGawdForty would not be same without it.
