This week, we are celebrating the return of football season. To start off, what does every tailgate need, food and drinks, so our first pick is the necessary tool to keep them all fresh and cold. Few companies can take an industry that has been around for years and come in to establish brand dominance the way Yeti has with the cooler game. The Yeti Tundra 75 cooler is the perfect piece of support gear for the day-long tailgates. It's high-performance insulation keeps your stuff cold for days, the vortex drain in the base drains out ice melt to keep things dry, and the top is designed to stay open when unloading so you can finally grab more than 2 beers at a time without slamming the top on your wrists. This tundra 75 is about 3 feet wide, and over a foot deep, perfect for a couple cases and some food.
