YETI Camino 35 Carryall (2.0, current 2026)

Published · Researched 2026-09-21

2026 lineup note: Current. The Camino 35 Carryall sold in 2026 is the 2.0 version (deployable dividers + two interior zippered pockets, added 2023). US MSRP is now $160 — raised from the long-standing $150 (multiple 2026 retailer listings at $160: eznoutfitters, TCO Fly Shop, Klarna/Academy; older $150 listings are stale). UK £150 / NZ $295 NZD. 20 L and 50 L siblings exist.

Version lineage (2023–2026)

• 2018 — Camino 35 launch: ThickSkin waterproof tote, EVA molded base, CrossBar handles, Hitchpoint grid. No dividers, no zip pockets. MSRP $150.
• 2023 — "2.0" revision (current): Adds deployable dividers (fit all Rambler/Yonder bottle sizes + Half Gallon Jug) and two interior zippered pockets (~11" × 8"). Retailers list it as "Camino 35 Carryall 2.0" (e.g., Palmetto State Armory, $149.99). Same shell, base, and handles.
• 2024–2026: No hardware changes found. Price moved $150 → $160 (2026 listings); limited-edition colorways (e.g., Wetlands Camo, Oracle Red Bull Racing team edition) occasionally priced at $160.
• Advice on older versions: A pre-2.0 (2018–2022) used Camino is functionally the same tote minus dividers/pockets — worth buying used at a discount (they trade ~$100–$135 on resale markets), but inspect the welded seams and EVA base. The 2.0's dividers are genuinely useful, so prefer 2.0 at equal prices.

Overview

YETI's 35-liter open-top utility tote — the "haul-it-anywhere" bag built from the same waterproof ThickSkin material as the Panga duffel line. It stands upright on its own (EVA molded base), hoses clean, and swallows beach gear, camp kitchen bins, boat equipment, groceries, or firewood. It is explicitly not a cooler (no insulation, open top with only a hook closure). Made by YETI (Austin, TX).

Key Specs

Pricing

In the Box

• Camino 35 Carryall tote (dividers pre-installed)

Extra needed: Nothing. Optional accessories: YETI SideKick Dry gear case (attaches to Hitchpoint grid), MOLLE bottle opener, YETI bottles sized to the dividers.

Warranty

3-year warranty (yeti.com: "The Camino 35 Carryall comes with a three-year warranty"). Covers defects in materials/workmanship. YETI's warranty service reputation is strong — straightforward online claims, repair-or-replace.

Support & Parts

YETI support is well-regarded (US-based, responsive). There are essentially no user-serviceable parts on the Camino — it's a welded single-piece construction — so support means warranty replacement rather than parts. The Hitchpoint grid accessories (SideKick Dry, bottle sling) are the upsell ecosystem.

Community Verdict

The Camino 35 has a cult following among boaters, beachgoers, and car campers who treat it as the last tote they'll buy — owners praise the stand-upright rigidity, genuinely waterproof welded shell, and hose-it-clean maintenance, with the price ($160 for an uninsulated tote) being the universal gripe and the open-top/no-zipper design the main functional caveat (it's not secure or weather-sealed from above). Against cheaper totes it wins on durability by a wide margin; against YETI's own Hopper coolers it loses any insulation comparison buyers sometimes mistakenly expect. Retired colorways command premiums on resale, which says plenty about brand heat if not about utility.

Long-term durability & warranty-claim reality

The Camino 35's durability story is unusually quantifiable: affiliate-marketed review aggregation claims "lasts 4+ years based on customer reviews" across 1,548+ Amazon reviews — and the owner anecdotes back a multi-year service life.

• What survives: the ThickSkin shell is puncture- and abrasion-resistant — "laughs at sharp hooks and muddy cleats" (smartcarting); a traveling photographer's bag survived "dozens of beach shoots" over 6+ months looking new. The EVA molded bottom keeps its stand-up shape; the shell hoses clean to "look brand new for years."
• What doesn't: it's an open-top tote with hook-and-loop closure — rain and splashing water enter from above (stylerave). It's not a cooler (no insulation) and not a dry bag. Owners who treat it as one are disappointed; owners who treat it as an indestructible gear hauler are not.
• Warranty-claim reality: YETI's standard 3-year warranty — "If it fails within 3 years, YETI will replace it" (affiliate landing page summarizing YETI's terms; YETI's warranty covers defects in materials/workmanship). YETI's warranty service is generally regarded as straightforward — but it's 3 years, not lifetime, and it doesn't cover the open-top design letting rain in.

Version history — year by year

• Original Camino 35: ThickSkin shell, EVA bottom, open-top design established the category.
• Camino 35 2.0 (current): "new and improved" — deployable dividers + two zippered interior pockets added (Dick's listing); HitchPoint grid retained. This is the version in current retail channels.
• 2026: $170 regular (731woodworks deal page: $130 sale, Sept 15, 2026, Wetlands Camo). Price has crept from the original $150 to $160–$170.

Head-to-head vs closest rivals

• vs Bogg Bag: the named rival — Camino wins on organization (deployable dividers vs fixed pockets), puncture resistance (ThickSkin vs EVA foam), and collapses flat for storage; Bogg is lighter. "If you need subway-friendly portability and long-term durability, the Camino wins" (itsblossom).
• vs YETI Hopper M30: same brand, different job — the Hopper is the insulated soft cooler with a zipper; the Camino is the uninsulated gear hauler. If you need cold and dry, you need the Hopper; if you need to haul waders, towels, and cleats, the Camino.
• vs North Face Base Camp Duffel (specs/north-face-base-camp-duffel.md): the Base Camp is the expedition duffel with backpack straps and a zipper; the Camino is the open-top everyday/work-site tote. The Camino's EVA base stands upright; the Base Camp's duffel body doesn't.

Care & maintenance

• Hose it out: "Simply hose the bag out at the end of the day" — warm water + mild soap for stubborn grime. The waterproof shell makes this the lowest-maintenance bag in the category.
• Hook-and-loop closure: rinse sand out of the hook-and-loop strips — packed sand is what kills the closure's grip over time.
• Dividers: tuck them away when hauling single large items to avoid creasing them permanently.
• UV: the shell is UV-tolerant but not UV-proof — years of direct sun will fade colors; store out of the sun.

Buying traps

• Not a cooler: the single most common disappointment — it's uninsulated. "For an insulated option, check out YETI's Hopper M30" isn't upsell, it's the actual answer.
• Not waterproof from above: open top + hook-and-loop. The shell and base are waterproof; the sky isn't.
• 3.1 lbs empty: heavy for a tote — "customers regularly carry 50+ lbs without discomfort," but the bag itself is no featherweight. Bogg-style EVA totes are lighter.
• $170 for a tote: the price is the controversy. The 4+ year lifespan math ($40/year vs replacing $30 canvas bags twice a year) is the honest justification — if you'll actually keep it 4 years.

Community Verdict (continued)

• The photographer test: "dozens of beach shoots" over 6 months, still going — the salt/sand/abuse trifecta is the Camino's home turf.
• The ball-field endorsement: "become her signature bag at the ball field" — the Camino's cultural footprint is real; it's as much a lifestyle object as a tool, which explains both the price tolerance and the 1,548-review count.
• The Bogg comparison: Bogg owners who switch cite puncture resistance and the stand-up base; Bogg loyalists cite weight and price. It's a genuine fork, not a clear win.
