If i was going to buy one of these ridiculously overpriced coolers id go with a cabelas as well. I can see having a big one of these if you are consistently going on trips in the boonies for a week. For now my $40 Coleman extreme does just fine for up to a week.

Can someone please explain to me having a yeti roadie/hopper or any of these smaller overpriced day coolers? Why the eff do you need a "day" cooler that keeps ice for a week?

same reason you can have a 350 and not just a 300 because you want to.

Yeti's are neat.

Finally saw the Ozark trial yeti coolers in Walmart today in both sizes. Anyone ever use one? Are these now normally in stock?

Another one that has hit the market over the past year is Big Frig. I met the owner at a sport show in Iowa. He is from South Dakota and his cups are every bit as good as Yeti. Says his biggest problem is keeping up to demand. My coolers should be here in a couple days.

Which ones did you order? Quite a bit cheaper than others i have seen. Let us know how well they work, how well they are made, and how well they hold up!

I ordered a 20 and a 45 as well as two more 30oz tumblers. All but the 45 should be here this week and the 45 is on backorder.

I have one of the tumblers already and like it.

My work handed out RTIC 30oz tumblers a few months ago to all and all have the same beef with them. The lid sucks big time, they leak and they do not fit very tight, good part is the tumbler itself is great like a yeti and the Yeti lids fit them perfectly. In the end better deal to just buy a Yeti.Thumbs Up

My Denali 20 and tumblers arrived today. I have both filled up for a test run.

Upon inspection I like the construction it can hold my fat ass standing on it. It has two drains which I like, looks very solid. I have both full and ready for a test drive. I will report back.

just this last week I have been gifted 2 RTIC 20oz tumblers, and one RTIC 10oz lowball.
The price was sure right, and as near as I can tell they work, look like, and feel just like my 3 times the price YETI ones.

I am officially cooler and cupped up. I will never need any additional cups or coolers, unless there is an unfortunate theft, or fire. I hear the Bismarck riots might be moving further west to come after my extensive and neat cup and cooler collection.:eek:

Yeti is a great business, much like Apple. They make a good product and overcharge for it. Everybody tries to copy, but when people see it the purchase happens.
