Yeti Dropped a Divisive Seasonal Color — and I Love It

Yeti is known for making useful and durable gear for all sorts of outdoor activities. If you’re a fan of its offerings, you probably look forward to the brand’s limited edition color drops. We certainly do — we’ve loved fun, recent colors like cherry blossom, beekeeper, papaya, and ultramarine violet. While we usually agree on the beauty of Yeti’s new releases, its latest color has been divisive among Food & Wine staffers. Indeed, wetlands camo has yielded a pretty even split among us, inspiring passionate dissent from a couple of editors and writers, but since I happen to be in the camp that absolutely loves this collection, I’ve rounded up some of my favorite woodsy, camouflage-inspired pieces. Whether you’re hunting, camping, or just enjoy the pastoral look and need a new water bottle, there’s something for you below. Here are 11 ways to enjoy wetlands camo.

36-Ounce Rambler Water Bottle

This 36-ounce water bottle is leakproof, double-wall vacuum-insulated, and even has a handy loop cap that makes it easy to carry by hand or attach to a carabiner on a backpack or tote. Grab one to stay hydrated this summer. 

45 Hard Cooler

This hard cooler is a really fun iteration of Yeti’s super popular large cooler. It has powerful insulation and a drain system in case your ice melts or you spill something inside. Strong latches — this one features hunter’s orange, so you won’t lose it in the brush — keep everything tightly sealed. Its incredibly tough handles feature military-grade rope.

GoBox 30 Gear Case

Everyone who camps, hunts, fishes, or even fixes up bikes knows that it’s important to have a portable case to transport a wide variety of tools, gear, and knick-knacks. This durable case is waterproof and dustproof, and has a removable caddy with multiple compartments to keep all your items separate but within reach. If this one seems a bit large for your purposes, Yeti also released a smaller one with a handle.

16-Ounce Insulated Food Jar

Whether you’re bringing soup to stay warm in the hunting blind all day or just some ingredients for some camp grilling, this insulated food jar uses double-wall insulation and kitchen-grade stainless steel to keep everything safe and at your ideal temperature. 

12-Ounce Colster Can Cooler

If you’re outside in the heat, there’s a decent chance you’re enjoying a cold beer or sparkling water. This can cooler (aka a hard koozie) has a no-sweat design and shoppers say they keep drinks ice cold for hours. 

64-Ounce Rambler Water Bottle

If you’re going into the woods or on a long hiking trip, it’s essential to stay hydrated, and this 64-ounce water bottle will ensure that you have plenty of water on hand. Fans say the size inspires them to keep drinking water, and the large capacity means they can use it to fill others’ bottles. 

5-Gallon Bucket

Yeti says this bucket is designed for “lugging, loading, hauling, and bailing.” Whatever that means to you (it evokes images of fishing and farming for me), this bucket has a non-slip base and an ultra-strong handle that makes carrying heavy loads not only easy but also comfortable. It also has slots you can thread through in case you need to tie this down for stability. Plus, its impact-resistant plastic is food-safe, in case you were thinking of using this for transporting food or brewing beer. 

20-Ounce Rambler Tumbler

This tumbler is perfect for hot coffee because it’s cup holder-compatible and uses a magnetic, splashproof top that’s a cinch to open and close with one hand. It has the expected vacuum insulation and long-lasting heat retention, so you can enjoy your brew for hours.

Flask

If you’re hunting for hours, celebrating your successful ascent to the top of a mountain, or just chilling around the campfire, you may want to enjoy a little nip of your favorite spirit. This flask has a 7-ounce capacity and even comes with a funnel, so you won’t waste a drop of your precious nectar. Plus, it’s leakproof.

18-Ounce Water Bottle

This 18-ounce water bottle has a loop cap that makes it effortless to tote and a straw for easy sipping on the go. It’s dishwasher-safe, and leakproof when closed. The straw cap makes for a nice use of the camo, since the cap matches the rest of the bottle. 

15 Hard Cooler

This roomy cooler has a powerful and resilient build with latches and an interlocking lid so it’ll stay reliably shut while you’re on the move or if you drop it. It also features excellent insulation and space for 22 cans, 16 pounds of ice, or your own spacious assortment of snacks, drinks, and foods. The use of orange and camo here placed the 15 hard cooler among the best of Yeti’s new lineup, so if you enjoy the wetlands collection, this is a great way to dig in.
