I don't have one (although would love to have one) and haven't a clue as to the answer.

But while at Gander Mountain recently - they had their brand sitting next to the Yeti. They looked a lot alike, but if I had to choose - I'd have chosen the Yeti even if it costs more because of the front latching system. The Yeti was easier to "close/lock" while both seemed to create a very good seals.

I would think the insulation in both would be more dense and the way they seal would be the primary reasons why they retain their temperature so well - but that is just speculation.
