YETI is a premium outdoor brand built on two hero categories — insulated Drinkware (~58% of sales) and Coolers & Equipment (~40%). It owns no factories: a network of contract manufacturers in China, the Philippines, Vietnam and beyond builds its designs, and YETI captures the margin between a $15 stainless tumbler and a cult brand, selling ~60% straight to consumers via YETI.com and its own stores.
