PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT
(To Prospectus dated February 18, 2020)

15,000,000 Shares

YETI HOLDINGS, INC.

Common Stock

The selling stockholders identified in this prospectus supplement are offering 15,000,000 shares of common stock of YETI Holdings, Inc. We are not selling any shares of our common stock under this prospectus supplement, and we will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the shares being sold by the selling stockholders.

Our common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") under the symbol "YETI." The last reported sale price of our common stock on the NYSE on February 14, 2020 was $32.84 per share.

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. See "Risk Factors" beginning on page S-4 of this prospectus supplement and the risk factors included in the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus to read about certain factors you should consider before buying our common stock.

The underwriter has agreed to purchase the common stock from the selling stockholders at a price of $31.85 per share, which will result in $477.8 million of proceeds, before expenses, to the selling stockholders. The underwriter may offer the common stock, from time to time, for sale in one or more transactions on the NYSE, in the over-the-counter market, through negotiated transactions or otherwise at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. See "Underwriting."

The underwriter may also exercise its option to purchase up to an additional 2,250,000 shares from the selling stockholders, at a price of $31.85 per share, for 30 days after the date of this prospectus supplement. If the underwriter exercises the option in full, the total proceeds, before expenses, to the selling stockholders will be $549.4 million.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus supplement is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

The underwriter expects to deliver the shares of common stock to purchasers on or about February 20, 2020.

•: the information specifically incorporated by reference into our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2018 from our Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A (filed with the SEC on April 4, 2019);
•: our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 4, 2020; and

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Statements in this prospectus supplement, including the documents that are incorporated by reference, that are not historical facts are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. These forward-looking statements are based on our current intent, belief and expectations. We claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 for all forward-looking statements. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as "anticipate," "believes," "can," "could," "may," "predicts," "potential," "should," "will," "estimate," "plans," "projects," "continuing," "ongoing," "expects," "intends" and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of the timing or nature of future operating or financial performance or other events or trends. For example, all statements we make relating to our plans and objectives for future operations, growth or initiatives and strategies are forward-looking statements.

These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections about our business and the industry in which we operate and our management's beliefs and assumptions. We derive many of our forward-looking statements from our own operating budgets and forecasts, which are based upon many detailed assumptions. While we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, we caution predicting the impact of known factors is very difficult, and we cannot anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results. All of our forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results to differ materially from our expectations. These statements are only predictions and involve estimates, known and unknown risks, assumptions and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in such statements, including as a result of the following factors, among others:

•: our ability to maintain and strengthen our brand and generate and maintain ongoing demand for our products;
•: our ability to successfully design, develop and market new products;
•: our ability to effectively manage our growth;
•: our ability to expand into additional consumer markets, and our success in doing so;
•: the success of our international expansion plans;
•: our ability to compete effectively in the outdoor and recreation market and protect our brand;
•: the level of customer spending for our products, which is sensitive to general economic conditions and other factors;
•: problems with, or loss of, our third-party contract manufacturers and suppliers, or an inability to obtain raw materials;
•: fluctuations in the cost and availability of raw materials, equipment, labor, and transportation and subsequent manufacturing delays or increased costs;
•: the implementation of announced, or the enactment of new, tariffs by the U.S. government or by countries to which we export our products or raw materials;
•: our ability to accurately forecast demand for our products and our results of operations;
•: our relationships with our national, regional, and independent retailers, who account for a significant portion of our sales;
•: the impact of natural disasters and failures of our information technology on our operations and the operations of our manufacturing partners;

S-vi

Table of Contents

•: our ability to attract and retain skilled personnel and senior management, and to maintain the continued efforts of our management and key employees;
•: the impact of our indebtedness on our ability to invest in the ongoing needs of our business; and
•: the impact of our loss of "controlled company" exceptions under NYSE listing standards, subject to applicable phase-in periods, and our inability to rely on reduced disclosure requirements as a result of no longer qualifying as an "emerging growth company" under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012.

The above is not a complete list of factors or events that could cause actual results to differ from our expectations, and we cannot predict all of them. All written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us, or persons acting on our behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements disclosed under "Item 1A. Risk Factors," in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2019, as such risk factors may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by other reports we file with the SEC, including subsequent Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.

Potential investors and other readers are urged to consider these factors carefully in evaluating the forward-looking statements and are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements we make. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made and are not guarantees of future performance or developments and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that are in many cases beyond our control. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements publicly, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

UNDERWRITING

BofA Securities, Inc. is acting as underwriter of the offering. Under the terms and subject to the conditions contained in an underwriting agreement dated as of the date of this prospectus supplement, the selling stockholders, severally and not jointly, have agreed to sell to the underwriter, and the underwriter has agreed to purchase from the selling stockholders, 15,000,000 shares of common stock.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the underwriting agreement, the underwriter has agreed to purchase all the shares of common stock in the offering, other than those shares covered by the option to purchase additional shares described below, if any are purchased.

The underwriter is offering the shares, subject to prior sale, when, as, and if offered to and accepted by it, subject to approval of legal matters by its counsel, including the validity of the shares, and other conditions contained in the underwriting agreement, such as the receipt by the underwriter of officer's certificates and legal opinions. The underwriter reserves the right to withdraw, cancel, or modify offers to the public and to reject orders in whole or in part.

Commissions, Discounts and Expenses

The underwriter proposes to offer the common stock from time to time for sale in one or more transactions on the NYSE, in the over-the-counter market, through negotiated transactions or otherwise at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices, subject to receipt and acceptance by it and subject to its right to reject any order in whole or in part. In connection with the sale of the common stock offered hereby, the underwriter may be deemed to have received compensation in the form of underwriting discounts. The underwriter may effect such transactions by selling common stock to or through dealers, and such dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the underwriter and/or purchasers of common stock for whom it may act as agent or to whom it may sell as principal. The underwriter may receive from purchasers of the common stock normal brokerage commissions in amounts agreed with such purchasers. Sales of common stock made outside of the United States may be made by affiliates of the underwriter.

The underwriter is purchasing the common stock from the selling stockholders at $31.85 per share, resulting in proceeds, before expenses, to the selling stockholders of approximately $477.8 million.

We estimate that our out of pocket expenses for this offering will be approximately $750,000. We have agreed to reimburse the underwriter for certain of its expenses in an amount up to $10,000.

Option to Purchase Additional Shares

The selling stockholders granted an option to the underwriter, exercisable for 30 days after the date of this prospectus supplement, to purchase in whole or in part at any time up to an aggregate of 2,250,000 additional shares at $31.85 per share.

Indemnification

We and the selling stockholders have agreed to indemnify the underwriter and its control persons against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments the underwriter or its control persons may be required to make in respect of those liabilities.

No Sales of Similar Securities

We, our executive officers and directors, and the selling stockholders have agreed not to sell or dispose of any common stock or securities convertible into, exchangeable for, exercisable for, or repayable with common stock, for 60 days after the date of this prospectus supplement without first

S-8

Table of Contents

obtaining the written consent of the underwriter. Specifically, we and these other persons have agreed, with certain limited exceptions not to directly or indirectly:

•: offer, pledge, sell, or contract to sell any common stock;
•: sell any option or contract to purchase any common stock;
•: purchase any option or contract to sell any common stock;
•: grant any option, right, or warrant for the sale of any common stock;
•: lend or otherwise dispose of or transfer any common stock;
•: request or demand that we file a registration statement related to the common stock; or
•: enter into any swap or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, the economic consequence of ownership of any common stock whether any such swap or transaction is to be settled by delivery of shares or other securities, in cash or otherwise.

This lock-up provision applies to common stock and to securities convertible into or exchangeable for or repayable with common stock owned now or acquired later by the person executing the agreement or for which the person executing the agreement later acquires the power of disposition. The underwriter in its sole discretion, may release the common stock and other securities subject to the lock-up agreements described above, in whole or in part, at any time.

New York Stock Exchange Listing

Our common stock is listed on NYSE under the symbol "YETI."

Price Stabilization, Short Positions and Penalty Bids

Until the distribution of the shares is completed, SEC rules may limit the underwriter and selling group members from bidding for and purchasing our common stock. However, the underwriter may engage in transactions that stabilize the price of our common stock, such as bids or purchases to peg, fix, or maintain that price.

In connection with the offering, the underwriter may purchase and sell our common stock in the open market. These transactions may include short sales, purchases on the open market to cover positions created by short sales, and stabilizing transactions. Short sales involve the sale by the underwriter of a greater number of shares than it is required to purchase in the offering. "Covered" short sales are sales made in an amount not greater than the underwriter's option to purchase additional shares described above. The underwriter may close out any covered short position by either exercising its option to purchase additional shares or purchasing shares in the open market. In determining the source of shares to close out the covered short position, the underwriter will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open market compared to the price at which it may purchase shares through the option granted to it. "Naked" short sales are sales in excess of such option. The underwriter must close out any naked short position by purchasing shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriter is concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of our common stock in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering. Stabilizing transactions consist of various bids for or purchases of shares of common stock made by the underwriter in the open market prior to the completion of the offering.

Similar to other purchase transactions, the underwriter's purchases to cover short sales may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of our common stock or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of our common stock. As a result, the price of our common stock may be

S-9

Table of Contents

higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the open market. The underwriter may conduct these transactions on the NYSE, in the over-the-counter market, or otherwise.

Neither we nor the underwriter make any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of our common stock. In addition, neither we nor the underwriter make any representation that such underwriter will engage in these transactions or that these transactions, once commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.

Electronic Distribution

In connection with the offering, the underwriter or certain securities dealers may distribute prospectuses by electronic means, such as e-mail.

Other Relationships

The underwriter and its affiliates are full service financial institutions engaged in various activities, which may include securities trading, commercial and investment banking, financial advisory, investment management, investment research, principal investment, hedging, financing and brokerage activities. From time to time, the underwriter and its affiliates have directly and indirectly engaged, or may engage, in various financial advisory and investment banking services for us and our affiliates, for which it received, or may receive, customary compensation, fees and expense reimbursement.

In the ordinary course of its various business activities, the underwriter and its affiliates may also make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers and may at any time hold long and short positions in such securities and instruments. Such investment and securities activities may involve our securities and instruments (directly, as collateral securing other obligations or otherwise). The underwriter and its respective affiliates may also make investment recommendations and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or instruments and may at any time hold, or recommend to clients that it acquires, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments. The underwriter has advised us that, except as specifically contemplated in the underwriting agreement, it owes no fiduciary duty or other duties to us in connection with this offering, and it has agreements and relationships with, and owes duties to, third parties, including potential purchasers of the securities in this offering, that may create actual, potential or apparent conflicts of interest between the underwriter and us.

Table of Contents

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

General

The following description summarizes certain important terms of our capital stock. This description summarizes the provisions that are included in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws. Because it is only a summary, it does not contain all the information that may be important to you. For a complete description of the matters set forth in this section, you should refer to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, amended and restated bylaws, the Stockholders Agreement, dated October 24, 2018, by and among YETI Holdings, Inc., Cortec Group Fund V, L.P. and its affiliates, and certain other stockholders named therein (the "Stockholders Agreement") and the Registration Rights Agreement, dated October 24, 2018, by and among YETI Holdings, Inc., Cortec Group Fund V, L.P. and certain other stockholders named therein, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Rights Agreement, dated May 6, 2019, and Amendment No. 2 to the Registration Rights Agreement, dated December 11, 2019 (collectively, the "Registration Rights Agreement"), which are incorporated by reference as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, and to the applicable provisions of Delaware law.

Authorized Capital Stock

Our authorized capital stock consists of 630,000,000 shares of capital stock, par value $0.01 per share, of which:

•: 600,000,000 shares are designated as common stock; and
•: 30,000,000 shares are designated as preferred stock.

Outstanding Capital Stock

As of February 7, 2020, there were 86,786,443 shares of our common stock outstanding, held by 29 stockholders of record, and no shares of our preferred stock outstanding. Our Board of Directors is authorized to issue additional shares of our capital stock without stockholder approval, except as required by the NYSE listing standards.

Common Stock

Voting Rights. The holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote per share on any matter to be voted upon by stockholders. Our directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast by stockholders entitled to vote on the election. All other matters to be voted on by stockholders must be approved by a majority in voting power of the votes cast by the holders of all of the shares of stock present or represented at the meeting and voting affirmatively or negatively on such matter, except when a different vote is required by express provision of applicable law, regulation applicable to us or our securities, the rules or regulations of any stock exchange applicable to us, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or our amended and restated bylaws. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation does not provide for cumulative voting in connection with the election of directors and, accordingly, holders of more than 50% of the shares voting are able to elect all of our directors, subject to the rights of Cortec Group Fund V, L.P. and its affiliates ("Cortec") to elect certain directors and select certain nominees for directors as discussed below under "—Stockholders Agreement". The holders of a majority of the shares of common stock issued and outstanding constitute a quorum at all meetings of stockholders for the transaction of business.

Dividends. The holders of our common stock are entitled to dividends if, as, and when declared by our Board of Directors, from funds legally available therefor, subject to certain contractual limitations on our ability to declare and pay dividends.

Table of Contents

Other Rights. No holder of our common stock has any preemptive right to subscribe for any shares of our capital stock.

Upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of our affairs, the holders of our common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of creditors and subject to prior distribution rights of our preferred stock, if any.

Preferred Stock

Our Board of Directors is authorized, subject to limitations prescribed by Delaware law, to issue preferred stock in one or more series, to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each series, and to fix the designation, powers, preferences, and rights of the shares of each series and any of its qualifications, limitations, or restrictions, in each case without further vote or action by our stockholders. Our Board of Directors can also increase or decrease the number of shares of any series of preferred stock, but not below the number of shares of that series then outstanding, without any further vote or action by our stockholders. Our Board of Directors may authorize the issuance of preferred stock with voting or conversion rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of our common stock. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could, among other things, have the effect of delaying, deferring, or preventing a change in our control and might adversely affect the market price of our common stock and the voting and other rights of the holders of our common stock. We have no current plan to issue any shares of preferred stock.

Options

As of February 7, 2020, we had outstanding options to purchase an aggregate of 1,610,907 shares of our common stock, with a weighted average exercise price of approximately $16.50 per share, under the YETI Holdings, Inc. 2012 Equity and Performance Incentive Plan, as amended and restated June 20, 2018 (the "2012 Plan") and the YETI Holdings, Inc. 2018 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan (the "2018 Plan").

In October 2018, our Board of Directors adopted the 2018 Plan and ceased granting awards under the 2012 Plan. The 2018 Plan became effective prior to completion of our initial public offering of our common stock ("IPO"), with new awards being available for issuance under the 2018 Plan as of the completion of our IPO. Any remaining shares available for issuance under the 2012 Plan as of our IPO effectiveness date are not available for future issuance. However, shares subject to stock awards granted under the 2012 Plan (a) that expire or terminate without being exercised, (b) that are forfeited under an award, or (c) that are transferred, surrendered, or relinquished upon the payment of any exercise price by the transfer to us of our common stock or upon satisfaction of any withholding amount, return to the 2018 Plan share reserve for future grant.

Stockholders Agreement

In connection with our IPO, we entered into the Stockholders Agreement with Cortec Management V, LLC, as managing general partner of Cortec Group Fund V, L.P., and other holders of our common stock party thereto pursuant to which we are required to take all necessary action for individuals designated by Cortec to be included in the slate of nominees recommended by the Board of Directors for election by our stockholders. Under the Stockholders Agreement, Cortec has the right to nominate (i) three directors so long as it beneficially owns at least 30% of our then-outstanding shares of common stock, (ii) two directors so long as it beneficially owns at least 15% but less than 30% of our then-outstanding shares of common stock, and (iii) one director so long as it beneficially owns at least 10% but less than 15% of our then-outstanding shares of common stock (we refer to any director nominated by Cortec as a "Cortec Designee"). The Stockholders Agreement also provides that so long

Table of Contents

as Cortec beneficially owns 20% or more of our then-outstanding shares of common stock, we will agree to take all necessary action to cause a Cortec Designee to serve as (i) Chair of the Board of Directors and (ii) Chair of the nominating and governance committee.

Registration Rights

In connection with our IPO, we entered into the Registration Rights Agreement with Cortec, Roy J. Seiders, Ryan R. Seiders, certain of their respective affiliates, and certain other stockholders, which was subsequently amended in May 2019 and December 2019. Under the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, any of Cortec Group Fund V, L.P., Cortec Co-Investment Fund V, LLC, Roy J. Seiders, Ryan R. Seiders, RRS Ice 2, LP or RJS Ice 2, LP may demand registration of, or an underwritten offering of, all or a portion of such holder's common stock. If such holder demands registration or an underwritten offering, the other parties to the Registration Rights Agreement may request that up to all of their shares of common stock be included in such registration statement or underwritten offering, as the case may be. In each case, the amount registered under the demand registration or offered in an underwritten offering is subject to certain limitations and conditions, including that (i) we are not obligated to effectuate more than four demand registrations or underwritten offerings in any 12-month period and (ii) any demand registration or underwritten offering must be for an anticipated aggregate offering price of at least $250 million. In addition, in the event that we register additional shares of common stock or any series of preferred stock for sale to the public, we will be required to give notice of such registration to the other parties to the Registration Rights Agreement and, subject to certain limitations, include shares of common stock held by them in the registration. We are responsible for paying all registration expenses and expenses associated with an underwritten offering in connection with any registration or underwritten offering pursuant to the registration rights agreement (including the costs associated with this registration), excluding any underwriting fees, commissions, discounts and allowances and related legal fees. The Registration Rights Agreement includes customary indemnification provisions in favor of the stockholders party thereto against certain losses and liabilities arising out of or based upon any filing or other disclosure made by us under the securities laws relating to any such registration.

Anti-takeover Effects of Certain Provisions of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws

Provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws may delay or discourage transactions involving an actual or potential change in our control or change in our management, including transactions in which stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares, or transactions that our stockholders might otherwise deem to be in their best interests. Therefore, these provisions could adversely affect the price of our common stock. Among other things, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws:

•: provide that our Board of Directors is classified into three classes of directors;
•: prohibit stockholders from taking action by written consent;
•: provide that stockholders may remove directors only for cause, and only with the approval of holders of at least 66²/3% of our then outstanding capital stock;
•: provide that the authorized number of directors may be changed only by resolution of our Board of Directors;
•: provide that all vacancies, including newly created directorships, may, except as otherwise required by law or as set forth in the Stockholders Agreement, be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of directors then in office, even if less than a quorum;

Table of Contents

•: provide that stockholders seeking to present proposals before a meeting of stockholders or to nominate candidates for election as directors at a meeting of stockholders must provide notice in writing in a timely manner, and also specify requirements as to the form and content of a stockholder's notice;
•: restrict the forum for certain litigation against us to Delaware;
•: do not provide for cumulative voting rights (therefore allowing the holders of a majority of the shares of common stock entitled to vote in any election of directors to elect all of the directors standing for election, subject to the rights of Cortec to elect certain directors and select certain nominees for directors as discussed above under "—Stockholders Agreement");
•: provide that special meetings of our stockholders may be called only by the Chair of our Board of Directors, our Chief Executive Officer or the Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the total number of authorized directors;
•: provide that stockholders will be permitted to amend our amended and restated bylaws only upon receiving at least 66²/3% of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of all outstanding shares then entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class; and
•: provide that certain provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation may only be amended upon receiving at least 66²/3% of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of all outstanding shares then entitled to vote, voting together as a single class.

Further, we have opted out of Section 203 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "DGCL"). However, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation contains similar provisions providing that we may not engage in certain "business combinations" with any "interested stockholder" for a three-year period following the time that the stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless:

•: prior to such time, our Board of Directors approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;
•: upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of our voting stock outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding certain shares; or
•: at or subsequent to that time, the business combination is approved by our Board of Directors and by the affirmative vote of holders of at least 66²/3% of our outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder.

Generally, a "business combination" includes a merger, asset, or stock sale or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. Subject to certain exceptions, an "interested stockholder" is a person who, together with that person's affiliates and associates, owns, or within the previous three years owned, 15% or more of our outstanding voting stock. For purposes of this section only, "voting stock" has the meaning given to it in Section 203 of the DGCL.

Under certain circumstances, this provision will make it more difficult for a person who would be an "interested stockholder" to effect various business combinations with the Company for a three-year period. This provision may encourage companies interested in acquiring the Company to negotiate in advance with our Board of Directors because the stockholder approval requirement would be avoided if our Board of Directors approves either the business combination or the transaction which results in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder. These provisions also may have the effect of preventing changes in our Board of Directors and may make it more difficult to accomplish transactions which stockholders may otherwise deem to be in their best interests.

Table of Contents

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that Cortec and its affiliates and any of their direct or indirect transferees and any group as to which such persons are a party, do not constitute "interested stockholders" for purposes of this provision.

Choice of Forum

Unless we consent to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware is, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of fiduciary duty owed by any of our current or former stockholders, directors, officers, or other employees to us or to our stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim against us arising pursuant to the DGCL, or (iv) any action asserting a claim against us that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine. The choice of forum provision does not apply to any actions arising under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.

Transfer Agent and Registrar

The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, Inc.

Listing

Our common stock is listed on the NYSE under the symbol "YETI."

Conroy, the Christopher S. Conroy Irrevocable Spousal Trust and Steven W. Hoogendoorn were deemed to hold no registrable shares under the Registration Rights Agreement as of December 11, 2019 and (ii) in exchange, Oaktree agreed to adopt and implement a trading plan established under Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act, pursuant to which it would sell, subject to the terms of such trading plan, its remaining shares of common stock commencing following the expiration of the lock-up agreement it entered into in connection with November 2019 Offering. Oaktree adopted such trading plan and all shares included in such trading plan have now been sold.

In 2012, we entered into a management services agreement with Cortec that provided for a management fee based on 1.0% of total sales, not to exceed $750,000 annually, plus certain out-of-pocket expenses. Each of Messrs. Lipsitz, Najjar, and Schnadig are Managing Partners of Cortec. During each of 2018 and 2017, we incurred fees and out-of-pocket expenses under this agreement of $0.8 million. This agreement was terminated in connection with our IPO and no further payments are due to Cortec.

Under the revised terms of Roy Seiders' option agreement, the options are subject solely to time-vesting restrictions as follows: (i) 138,156 of the options vested on July 31, 2017 and (ii) the remaining 138,950 options vested on July 31, 2018.

We lease warehouse space in Austin, Texas, from Hidalgo Ice, LP, an entity owned by Roy Seiders and Ryan Seiders. The lease is month to month, can be cancelled upon 30 days' written notice and requires monthly payments of $8,700. Total cash payments made by us to this entity under the lease agreement were $0.1 million for each of 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Our restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws provide that our directors and officers will be indemnified by us to the fullest extent authorized by Delaware law as it currently exists or may in the future be amended, against all expenses and liabilities reasonably incurred in connection with their service for or on our behalf. In addition, our restated certificate of incorporation provides that our directors will not be personally liable for monetary damages to us or our stockholders for breaches of their fiduciary duty as directors.

In addition to the indemnification provided by our restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws, we have entered into agreements to indemnify our directors, executive officers and certain other officers and agents. These agreements, among other things and subject to certain standards to be met, require us to indemnify these directors, officers and agents for certain expenses, including attorneys' and experts' fees, judgments, fines, penalties and settlement amounts incurred by any such person in any action or proceeding, including any action by or in our right, arising out of that person's services as a director, officer or agent of us or any of our subsidiaries or any other company or enterprise to which the person provides services at our request. These agreements also require us to advance expenses to these officers and directors for investigating, defending, being a witness in or participating in, or preparing to investigate, defend, be a witness or participate in, any such action or proceeding, subject to an undertaking to repay such amounts if it is ultimately determined that such director, officer or agent was not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses.

We maintain, at our expense, an insurance policy that insures our officers and directors, subject to customary exclusions and deductions, against loss arising from claims made for breach of fiduciary duty or other wrongful acts as a director or executive officer and to us with respect to payments that may be made by us to these directors and executive officers pursuant to our indemnification obligations or otherwise as a matter of law. We have also entered into additional and enhanced insurance arrangements to provide coverage to our directors and executive officers against loss arising from claims relating to public securities matters.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

The selling stockholders named below may offer, from time to time in one or more offerings, up to an aggregate of 17,250,000 shares of our common stock, subject to adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and reclassifications. The following table sets forth the names of the selling stockholders (and/or the beneficial owners) and the number of shares of common stock held by each of them as of February 7, 2020.

Information in the table below with respect to beneficial ownership has been furnished by each of the selling stockholders. The shares are being registered to permit public secondary trading of the shares, and selling stockholders may offer the shares for resale from time to time in one or more offerings. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. These rules generally provide that a person is the beneficial owner of securities if they have or share the power to vote or direct the voting thereof, or to dispose or direct the disposition thereof, or have the right to acquire such powers within 60 days. In computing the percentage ownership of a person, shares of our common stock subject to the options held by that person are deemed to be outstanding if they are exercisable within 60 days of February 7, 2020. The shares subject to options are not deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. All percentages in the following tables are based on a total of 86,786,443 shares of our common stock outstanding as of February 7, 2020.

The selling stockholders listed in the table below may have sold, transferred, otherwise disposed of or purchased, or may sell, transfer, otherwise dispose of or purchase, at any time and from time to time, shares of our common stock in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act or in the open market after the date on which they provided the information set forth in the table below. We do not know which (if any) of the selling stockholders named below actually will offer to sell shares pursuant to this prospectus, or the number of shares that each of them will offer.

Any affiliate of a broker-dealer will be deemed to be an "underwriter" within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act, unless such selling stockholder purchased in the ordinary course of business and, at the time of its purchase of the stock, did not have any agreements or understandings, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the stock. As a result, any profits on the sale of the common stock by selling stockholders who are deemed to be "underwriter" and any discounts, commissions or concessions received by any such broker-dealers who are deemed to be "underwriters" will be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Selling stockholders who are deemed to be "underwriters" will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act and to certain statutory liabilities, including, but not limited to, those under Sections 11, 12 and 17 of the Securities Act and Rule 10b-5 under the Exchange Act.

Information about additional selling stockholders, if any, including their identities and the common stock to be registered on their behalf, will be set forth in a prospectus supplement, in a post-effective amendment or in filings that we make with the SEC under the Exchange Act, which are incorporated by reference in this prospectus. Information concerning the selling stockholders may change from time to time. Any changes to the information provided below will be set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in a post-effective amendment or in filings we make with the SEC under the Exchange Act, which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus if and when necessary.

Unless otherwise indicated and subject to applicable community property laws, to our knowledge, each selling stockholder named in the following table possesses sole voting and investment power over

Assumes that each named selling stockholder sells all of the shares of our common stock it is offering for sale under this prospectus and neither acquires nor disposes of any other shares, or rights to purchase other shares of our common stock, subsequent to the date as of which we obtained information regarding its holdings. Because the selling stockholders are not obligated to sell all or any portion of the shares of our common stock shown as offered by them, we cannot estimate the actual number of shares (or the actual percentage of the class) of our common stock that will be held by any selling stockholder upon completion of the offering. We are registering the offer and sale of the shares of common stock by the selling stockholders to satisfy registration rights we granted to the selling stockholders. See "Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions with Selling Stockholders—Registration Rights Agreement."

As used in this prospectus, "selling stockholders" includes transferees, pledgees, donees, assignees or successors selling shares received after the date of this prospectus from a selling stockholder as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other non-sale related transfer.

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock that may be sold from time to time pursuant to this prospectus by the selling stockholders. We will bear certain costs associated with this registration in accordance with the registration rights agreement. However, the selling stockholders will bear any brokerage commissions, transfer taxes, or underwriting commissions and discounts attributable to their sale of shares of our common stock.

The common stock may be distributed by the selling stockholders from time to time in one or more transactions:

•: at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed;
•: at market prices prevailing at the time of sale;
•: at prices related to such prevailing market prices;
•: at varying prices determined at the time of sale; or

Offers to purchase the common stock being offered by this prospectus may be solicited directly. Agents may also be designated to solicit offers to purchase the common stock from time to time. Any agent involved in the offer or sale of our common stock will be identified in a prospectus supplement.

Table of Contents

If a dealer is utilized in the sale of the common stock being offered by this prospectus, the common stock will be sold to the dealer, as principal. The dealer may then resell the common stock to the public at varying prices to be determined by the dealer at the time of resale.

If an underwriter is utilized in the sale of the common stock being offered by this prospectus, an underwriting agreement will be executed with the underwriter at the time of sale and the name of any underwriter will be provided in the prospectus supplement that the underwriter will use to make resales of the common stock to the public. In connection with the sale of the common stock, the selling stockholders, or the purchasers of common stock for whom the underwriter may act as agent, may compensate the underwriter in the form of underwriting discounts or commissions. The underwriter may sell the common stock to or through dealers, and those dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the underwriters and/or commissions from the purchasers for which they may act as agent. Unless otherwise indicated in a prospectus supplement, an agent will be acting on a best efforts basis and a dealer will purchase common stock as a principal, and may then resell the common stock at varying prices to be determined by the dealer.

The selling stockholders who participate in the sale or distribution of the shares of common stock offered by the selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents who participate in the distribution of common stock offered by this prospectus may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act. Any selling stockholders identified as registered broker-dealers in the selling stockholders table in the section titled "Selling Stockholders" are deemed to be underwriters. As a result, any selling stockholders, broker-dealers or agents who are deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act will be subject to prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act and to certain statutory liabilities, including, but not limited to, those under Sections 11, 12 and 17 of the Securities Act and Rule 10b-5 under the Exchange Act. In addition, any profits on the sale of the common stock by any selling stockholders, broker-dealers or agents deemed to be "underwriters" and any discounts, commissions or concessions received by any such broker-dealer or agents may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.

Any compensation paid to underwriters, dealers or agents in connection with the offering of the common stock under this prospectus, and any discounts, concessions or commissions allowed by underwriters to participating dealers will be provided in the applicable prospectus supplement. In compliance with the guidelines of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. ("FINRA") the amount of underwriting compensation, including underwriting discounts and commissions, to be paid in connection with any offering of common stock pursuant to this prospectus will be limited to an amount that is fair and reasonable, with such amount to be evaluated based on the size and type of the common stock being offered as well as the risk assumed by the underwriters, dealers or agents, as the case may be. We may enter into agreements to indemnify underwriters, dealers and agents against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments they may be required to make in respect thereof and to reimburse those persons for certain expenses.

To facilitate the offering of common stock, certain persons participating in the offering may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the common stock. This may include over-allotments or short sales of the common stock, which involve the sale by persons participating in the offering of more common stock than were sold to them. In these circumstances, these persons would cover such over-allotments or short positions by making purchases in the open market or by exercising their over-allotment option, if any. In addition, these persons may stabilize or maintain the price of the common stock by bidding for or purchasing common stock in the open market or by imposing penalty bids, whereby selling concessions allowed to dealers participating in the offering may be reclaimed if common stock sold by them are repurchased in connection with stabilization transactions. The effect of these transactions may be to stabilize or maintain the market

price of the common stock at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. These transactions may be discontinued at any time.

If indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, underwriters or other persons acting as agents may be authorized to solicit offers by institutions or other suitable purchasers to purchase the common stock at the public offering price set forth in the prospectus supplement, pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on the date or dates stated in the prospectus supplement. These purchasers may include, among others, commercial and savings banks, insurance companies, pension funds, investment companies and educational and charitable institutions. Delayed delivery contracts will be subject to the condition that the purchase of the common stock covered by the delayed delivery contracts will not, at the time of delivery, be prohibited under the laws of any jurisdiction in the United States to which the purchaser is subject. The underwriters and agents will not have any responsibility with respect to the validity or performance of these contracts.

With respect to the offering and sale of the common stock under this prospectus by the selling stockholders, we may agree to indemnify each selling stockholder and any underwriter for such selling stockholder (as determined in the Securities Act) against specified liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. The selling stockholders have agreed to indemnify us against specified liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. In addition, we may agree to pay substantially all of the expenses incidental to the registration, underwritten offering and sale of the common stock by the selling stockholders to the public, including the payment of federal securities law and state blue sky registration fees and the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel for the selling stockholders, except that we will not bear any brokers' or underwriters' discounts and commissions, fees and expenses of counsel to underwriters or brokers, transfer taxes or transfer fees relating to the sale of shares of our common stock by the selling stockholders.
