Yeti vs. RTIC cooler input

[Great-Kazoo]

So i see Yeti is the "must have" for the up and coming hipster

However i get turned on to these as a comparable alternative. Anyone have experience with the RTIC cooler?

My buddy got an RTIC tumbler and it works awesome. I don't know anyone that has tried their coolers though.

I find it very amusing that a cooler that started out being marketed and sold to the hardcore hunting and fishing community has migrated to being accepted by the "pajama man" gang and is now prominently featured at REI.

Have one of the RTIC cups, gal in office has the yeti. I'd say it's just as good for half the price

No one can get RTIC coolers.

Eddie Bauer, Abercrombie & Fitch, to a lesser extent, Orvis (at least they still sell fly rods and shotguns)

My $7 ozark rumbler from Walmart is identical to my coworkers $40 yeti. Same performance also, there's a guy on FB that did a comparison. Yeti is suing Walmart also

Odd as I was just looking at these. We used yetis and an rtic and my mister igloo and a couple Coleman coolers for a big trip. Yeti and rtic are the best built, best latching and hinge systems. Wasn't long enough to know which would have done better but they are almost identical in quality and construction.

my neighbor had the hopper and I've been beyond impressed with that thing on numerous occasions. Yeti will always be impressive but I think the technology is there with all the similar designed coolers.

i think I'm going to order an Rtic 65 and the 30 can hooper version and see how they do.

Similar, with no RTIC though.

I know a couple FFLs that stock RTIC gear even though they don't have a dealer program. They say it's basically identical, and a great option. Definitely high end coolers are super popular lately. Go figure.
