I have always scoffed at YETI, but my sister bought me one of those YETI stainless steel cups and dang if it doesn't work. I said there was no way I would pay for one, but after having it, I will be spending the money on another for the wife.
Hope the RTIC does well too. |

They build boats around Yetis, which means your new RTIC cooler won't fit under your leaning post unless you get a much smaller cooler.
Made in China possibly? I'm all for a lower cost alternative, absolutely. And since I don't have a boat, I'm definitely interested.

I treated myself to a Yeti Roadie and I love it. These are interesting though and I'll probably try a 45 in Earth Brown or Forest Green.

I like my Pelican. Those appear to be cheaper than Pelican but don't have the nice lid clasps and solid handles of the Pelicans.
Looks like a beefy cooler tho. And alot cheaper than a Yeti. |

I've had my Yeti 50qt about 7 years. Practically the month they had
their first AD in Florida Sportsman magazine I bought mine. It still looks and functions AS NEW! Buy once cry once. Oh and I fingered a pelican cooler at Walmart. The hinges skin your fingers. Great gun cases though! |

Conversely, I think I'm gonna try two of those Arctic Freeze packs, at about $30, in my Coleman Xtreme before dropping $200+ on a cooler, see if they help out or work like they say they do. If nothing else, they may save me from buying ice a couple times a week.

I'll go through a thousand igloos and colemans before I buy a single yeti at the prices they command.
Yeah, in really only on my fourth or fifth cooler in my life and its an igloo. It keeps ice as long as I've ever needed it to so no reason for me to get a yeti. |

If you pay a lot of money for a nice AR, car, or 1911, you're an idiot. If you pay a lot of money for what is essentially a plastic cooler, you're a genius and a membe of high society.

It keeps ice as long as I've ever needed it to so no reason for me to get a yeti. This is very key in reasoning for most people. Ask a guy to spend $400 on a cooler and many (most probably ) will recoil and say no way. Why?.. because of this. I myself have been using a 90 quart Igloo at the deer camp for several years now with zero issues except for one hinge I had to replace. I paid under $80 for it back in the early 2000's. It can even go another year or three but I might replace next year as all these coolers are getting better. If someone gave me one of these Yeti coolers as a gift I would be very happy to receive it. But I can more than get by on my sub $80 American made Igloo or Coleman for years. |
