Default New cooler

http://www.rticcoolers.com. Saw these on Instagram and checked em out looks exactly like a yet but literally half the price. They look a tad bit thinner though.

Your right. Those expensive coolers don't do any better than a coleman extreme of even a basic marine igloo cooler. My K2 isn't impressive and my buddies yeti isn't worth the money either.

No different than $300 sunglasses and a $50 pair. All about sportin the bling more than anything else.

I do agree that they don't hold ice any longer than the classic Ol white igloo. The main reason I own yetis is because you can't hurt em and mine go through hell.

I have a K2, and I have to agree, not impressed

I have a pelican as well, and Id say it was money well spent! It holds the ice for days in the heat! As well I use it as a casting stand too!!

They definitely ripped off the yeti design but I'm down with the price. Cooler companies like these are a dime a dozen these days. Just getting coolers from asia and slapping their logo on it.Yeti really has no business keeping their prices so noncompetitive when they are no longer running a monopoly on the market. When they were the only premium cooler out there sure charge what ever you want

An empty 65qt weighs 36lbs!!!! That's insane. I wish coleman or igloo would make a better cooler and just charge more. I would pay $100 for a better quality cooler.

Marty, that yeti full of reds must have weighed 200lbs.

Please keep us posted on these ice chests. I've yet to dive into the premium cooler market due mostly to price. This one is close enough to make it interesting.
