RTIC Coolers

Oh they brought the white ones down in price? That will make people happy who weren't interested in the tan.
From what I know the original founders of Yeti parted ways and the one who didn't stay with the brand created RTIC. There are many other companies making roto coolers now and plenty of comparisons on YT. I'm glad to have my 20 at a price far less than the Yeti. I wanted seafoam green but RTIC may or may not make them in the future and the ones Yeti did make were for a limited time only and are really expensive on the secondary market. Tan won't get dirty in the desert where I camp most of the time. So far I'm very happy with my RTIC. I use it to keep my lunch cold from home to work. I put two frozen water bottles in and it works great. For camping I'm sure I'll use both, frozen water bottle and cubed ice.
 
Looks like it is not IGBC approved (for bear proof containers) if that is an issue where you will be using it.
 
Sale is over.
It has lock holes so I'd be willing to bet it is bear proof even if it isn't "rated". Hopefully I won't need to find out.
 
Looked at lgloo coolers at sams today. Same roto cast like Yeti and Rtic. $100 22qt. $200 55qt. Only saw white ones. I like the tan ones.
 
Finally broke down and bought a RTIC cooler(45). Couldn't bring myself to spending $400 on a Yet but at $179 I had to pull the trigger. Ordered it yesterday morning 12-7, arrived a few minutes ago 12-8. I didn't realize they ship out of Houston, only 25 mi from here. Looks nice, heavily built, quality components, can be secured to keep animals out, don'tknow if it's bear proof though. Will be nice if it holds ice for a week(so they claim) during the summer here in Texas.
 
Update on my Rtic cooler. Lid did not seal properly resulting in poor ice retention. I contacted Rtic about the problem, they were very prompt and sent me a return authorization # and a prepaid return label. 3 day turn around, replacement cooler arrived 2 hrs ago. all is good with the new unit, lid seals properly. Very good customer service.
 
I ordered a soft 20 and had it about 3 days from Houston to SoCal. Very well made but the shape just wont work for me so I will be returning it shortly. We will see how the return is handled. While it is call a soft side, it is almost as strong as a regular cooler. It is virtually strong enough to use as a seat.
