Football may be the main event, but tailgating is where the fun begins, and we all know that the key to successful tailgating comes down to what’s in your cooler.
The YETI brand is known for its “over-engineered” coolers and cups, and you can browse a broad selection at Mast General Store in downtown Greenville. Top sellers include the YETI Hopper M30 soft cooler, which can hold a full case of your favorite beverage to keep the party going well beyond kickoff. The ideal teammate is the Colster can insulator, which will keep your drink ice-cold, even on those ninety-degree September game days familiar to Southern football fans.
The soft, insulated Lowlands blanket provides a comfortable spot to sit, and it shakes off rain, mud, dirt, and spills. So grab some friends and a few bags of ice, and appreciate the joys of football season—no matter what’s on the scoreboard.
Hopper M30
This soft cooler has an extra-wide top re-engineered to stay open when needed, but it seals tightly, locking in the cold with powerful magnets. The exterior grid lets you attach accessories like bottle openers or slings. $350
Lowlands Blanket
An all-purpose, all-terrain blanket that combines a plush exterior with an insulated, waterproof inner layer, the Lowlands Blanket shakes off dirt, pet hair, and other tailgating mishaps. $200
Rambler Colster Tall Can Insulator
A must for beer aficionados, this insulator, which fits tall boys and 16-ounce cans, has a secure lock-and-load gasket. Made with kitchen-grade stainless steel with double-wall vacuum insulation, it has a no-sweat design, and it’s dishwasher safe. $30
