The Yeti LoadOut 5 Gallon Bucket in Ultramarine Violet is what you get when a everyday essential is engineered like real equipment. It’s loud in the best way—easy to spot in a crowded garage, on a boat deck, or at a busy campsite—yet it’s built with the kind of toughness that makes it a go-to for years. From hauling water and loading tools to carrying bait, ice, or cleanup supplies, this bucket’s made to take hard use without turning into another cracked, flimsy replacement.
Yeti designed the LoadOut to be high-impact-resistant, so it can handle the drops, bumps, and rough handling that come with real work. It’s not a “be careful with it” bucket. The Surestrong build gives it a rigid, confidence-inspiring feel that stands up to heavy loads and frequent use, making it a reliable partner whether you’re tackling projects at home, working outdoors, or gearing up for weekend adventures. It’s built for lugging, loading, and getting the job done, and it shows in every detail.
Carrying a loaded bucket is where most designs fall apart, but this one’s made to feel better in your hand when the weight goes up. The HeftyHauler™ Handle is designed for comfortable carrying, giving you a more secure grip that doesn’t punish your hand during long hauls or repeated trips. Whether you’re moving water around camp, hauling gear from the truck to the dock, or carrying supplies across the yard, it’s made to keep the carry controlled and manageable. There’s also a Lipgrip handle for quick, confident handling—perfect for lifting, repositioning, and grabbing the bucket when you’re working fast or dealing with tight spaces.
Set it down, and the BearFoot™ non-slip ring helps keep it planted. That extra traction can make a surprisingly big difference on slick surfaces like wet pavement, a boat deck, or a dusty shop floor. Instead of sliding around, it stays where you put it, helping you avoid spills and keeping your workspace a little more organized when things get busy.
Transport is another place where the LoadOut earns its keep. The Anchorpoint tie-down slots let you strap the bucket down in a truck bed, trailer, or boat so it won’t tip, roll, or shift on the way to your destination. If you’ve ever arrived to find gear scattered or a bucket dumped over, you’ll appreciate how much control those tie-down points give you. It’s a small feature that solves a very real problem.
Versatility matters too, and this bucket’s food safe, so it’s ready for more than just dirty jobs. Haul ice, carry water, hold supplies you want in a clean container, or use it for tasks where safety and cleanliness are part of the plan. With dimensions of 15.9” x 10.3” x 12.9”, it packs classic 5-gallon utility into a sturdy, well-proportioned footprint. At 80 oz., it has that solid weight that signals durability and long-term reliability, not disposable convenience.
Ultramarine Violet adds a bold finish that’s fun, modern, and easy to identify as yours—while still delivering the tough, work-ready performance Yeti’s known for. If you’re ready to upgrade your bucket game to something that’s built like a tank and designed with real-world use in mind, this is the one.
