The YETI A Lot Cooler has been developed through a partnership with the Matthew and Camila McConaughey-founded Pantalones Organic Tequila brand as a rugged way to bring the signature spirit anywhere.
The cooler is built to YETI's stringent specifications for durability and ice retention, and is named after one of McConaughey's most quotable lines from his role in the cult classic film Dazed & Confused. The cooler is sized to perfectly fit a six-bottle case of Pantalones tequila and is accented on the exterior with the spirit brand's signature logo and imagery.
The YETI A Lot Cooler is a collector's edition of the brand's original YETI Roadie 24 cooler and is available now for preorder from Pantalones for $250.
