Rtic coolers

[Slednut10]

I just looked up some prices on these things.... $250 + for a 32 qt size cooler???? Crapola!!!

I'm in sticker shock... I live in a small college town in a farming community not some place where the median income is $250K/year...wow

That's what you call "new math". An extra inch of foam allows for an extra zero on the price tag!;D

But you get a sticker for your shock - c'mon man!!

I also bought the Rtic tumbler for 14 bucks. We have 4 yeti tumblers in our household and the Rtic performs exactly like the yetis. I like the design on the Rtic a little better.

One thing on the coolers... I got the Rtic 45 which actually holds 45 quarts. The Yeti 45 does not really hold 45. I think that is Rtics main point. They say Yeti is lying to thier customers since none of their coolers or cups actually hold what they are advertised to hold.

Anyway... I just bought this one out of curiosity. Looks good on my cooler rack on the Bronco too..

Been debating about trying an Rtic. Its still outrageous money, but roadtrips not buying ice all the time would be awesome

Yeah, like RTIC says, if they copied Yeti their 65 qt cooler would hold 56 qts

after this thread im glad i never pulled the trigger on a yet... im gonna order an rtic this week.

Man I thought those were called Yuppie coolers. The yuppies here in Atlanta carry them to te park for picnics. Backyard bbqs etc. glad someone is making a good cooler for less money. Cant justify that kind of money myself when my 120 qt igloo coffin cooler kept our stuff cold and frozen for a week at cape lookout on our last fishing trip.

Nothing wrong w/that. I wound up getting a 70q and a smaller 30q, The 30 will get strapped down in the Bronco for the wheeling during the day

Ask the OCBR folks where the cold beer is......They will say Nyles' Yeti...I have 2, YES they High $$$ I have a 65 been thrown out the truck on a rough hwy few scuff marks but the beers still cold Ive had that one minimum 10 years!!! Thats a lot of broken lid coleman coolers!!! Ive had my 45 qt 5 years still perfect.

Not gonna say they better than RTIC but I will say they tough as hell and have paid for themselves....and the beers cold!

Another to look at are the Polar Cap coolers from Cabela's.

Field and Stream found they would keep beer below 42 degrees for 8 days.

If I owned a Yeti cooler I would put a sticker over the name, Yeti owners are getting a bad reputation in some places.

 

[stevenson44]

I have several Yeti products. They are awesome but expensive. Just like a lot of the stuff I buy for my Bronco and other toys...

Agreed, the ramblers are incredible.

 

[nvrstuk]

Question for all of us...who in this crowd after 8 days would still have ANY beer left in the cooler!!?? What kind of a "real world" test is this????

I "thought" i saw somewhere that the Yeti is US made and the RTic is not?

 

[Eoth]

There is no doubt that these new coolers are better than the standard Colemans people have been using for years. But I would would put my recycled styrofoam cooler they sent my Omaha Steaks in against any of them. Dont get me wrong, I would love to have one, I'm just too cheap... ;D

They're all made overseas.

I bought one of these. Really nice coolers, less than the Yeti, and more durable. Available in colors too, sometimes they go on sale and that's when you can save even more.

Plus, the owner is a monster truck driver/offroad enthusiast, and a good guy too.

 

[sykanr0ng]

No
They're not all made overseas.
That Field and Stream review had where they are made as one of the judging points.

Cabela's USA
Orion USA
Igloo USA
Pelican USA
Orca USA
Canyon Coolers USA
Grizzly USA
Bison USA

Yeti USA and Philippines

Rtic China
