But comparative size makes a difference. At not much bigger than the yeti this cooler is far more efficient. A hard sided yeti will be much better of course but it’s also much larger than the oyster.
That’s not the case actually… In fact, I found that their ice pack replacements aren’t as efficient as ice. However, if you put cold cans in the Oyster without ice, they stay cold for a good 48 hours vs. the Yeti which keeps them cold for just under 24…
I don't think their thermal battery is the whole point. It's merely a suggested option. Ice is just as effective, with the only drawback being melted water.
@@qy05 read their website of course you can use ice but it’s a “no ice needed” cooler and it’s why the gel packs are included. It’s optimized for use with ice packs
compare the yeti tundra 35 vs that. the soft cooler isn't a fair comparison

Awesome cooler
Does the lid on the oyster stop itself when opened or does it flop all the way backwards if you let it go?
Does not flop over. Can be Opened either side
The whole point of an oyster is to not use ice 🧊 you’re supposed to use their “thermal battery”

Yeti was kept zipped… Oyster can open from either side and stays in position.
