Got the same reply, can't really say much either way. To me, they did a good job of walking the political tightrope with this response.
Now maybe a fun thread of "Shit I own that almost none of you would be willing to buy"..... I'll start it off with my Briggs & Riley carry on. 2 years ago I would have thought it was ridiculous, but after pushing my luggage through about 20 different airports on 30 legs so far this year, it's well worth it. If anyone wants a 3-month-old Samsonite spinner with like 4.5* reviews on Amazon, it's yours for free. :) Seriousy.
Any by shit I own, I mean shit we own.
I know where that could find a home. That way, I can quit loaning her my bags...
LOL, got a great deal on Craigslist. :) And it's a nice hard side carry on but not if you have to walk with it for 5 miles a week.

Probably all true.
What I never heard in all of this is Yeti dumping NRA...to go donate to Brady Campaign or something of that sort.
I'm saying this as a fan of business more than a fan of Yeti, but I dislike when people go on a boycott because a company or charity pulled support. Even if they didn't support the opposite. This happened with Komen and Planned Parenthood a few years back. Komen pulled donations and people were furious. Are you so entitled to donations? Is an independent entity not allowed to decide how best to spend their money? Just because someone donated once, it is a liability in perpetuity? Do you live your own lives like this?
Vote with your checkbook, sure. If you don't like Yeti, save your money. (It probably is overpriced) My life doesn't fit into a perfect box, and neither does every last product I buy. Patagonia was a brand trashed on here by someone not long ago. I really like their fishing stuff, and I know several others here do as well. I think they are a marketing machine (first), but also doing good for the environment in an area Trump is wrong. And reluctantly, I really came to like their products. On accident. The NRA is far from perfect, and they can be whiny. And I say this as an NRA life member. None of this Yeti / NRA stuff would have changed my opinion on either company, personally.
I own a Yeti, but won it in a free raffle.
Say want you want about the overpriced coolers. They took something that most people had a hard time spending $75 for and somehow convinced many of those same people they now needed to spend $400+ for. That's damn good business.
Starting a fight with the NRA? Probably not so good business.
I did purchase a RTIC. They had a huge sale sometime years back. I got the big one for $140. That seemed more reasonable.
They're identical and I think very well made. I expect them to last me a lifetime.
I am afraid to do an inventory of my coolers. I think I have one of every cooler mentioned in this thread. I'm cooler than I thought. lol
