I have the RTIC 65 and have been extremely pleased. It's about 1/2 the cost of a Yeti. I also have the OT soft side that I used once around labor day and it too did well.
For my $ and experience the Coleman Extreme coolers are a great buy not bear proof but keeps cold a long time. The lid has a positive seal and if you are not in and out of it all day keeps ice for 3 or so days in 70+ degree weather. My two cents.
You fellers are missing the purnt. How many Yeti stickas you get with a OT?
You seen the new Yeti 5 gallon bucket for $40 bucks?? Ha! buy a $40 yeti sticker and they will throw in a free 5 gallon bucket.
I actually saw someone RESTOCKING these at BPS in Savannah.
some sheeple.
Came from the same Chinese plant.
Happens all the time.
I know this as fact because I've been in manufacturing
over 35 years.
Here's the drill:
Send CAD file for your product to china for
a cheap production tool.
1) Either bring it here and run it so you can
put the "Made in USA" sticker on it.
2) Or, let them run it and send finished product
back here with the "Made in China" sticker on it.
ONE THING FOR SURE IN EITHER CASE:
They will make the EXACT SAME TOOLING
from your designs and build it at the same time
(free) because you already paid for it when you
bought yours.
THEN..........
Because there's virtually no EPA type crap and
other gooberment "red tape" over there........
They will very often have YOUR product with their
name on it on the shelves here............
BEFORE YOU EVEN GET IT TO MARKET!
Wonder where all the jobs went.
