cactusjack Report post Posted December 21, 2016 Buy 2 ritc 65s. Label them 1st and 2nd. Freeze everything and put dry ice in the one for the 2nd part of your trip. I do it with 3 yeti 50s. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mpriest Report post Posted December 21, 2016 Super happy with my new RTIC 65. Buy two of the RTIC for the price of one Yeti. A side by side garage comparison in the heat of October and both were about equal. 1 week x 20lb bag of ice in each, both still had ~6lbs of ice leftover. Rtic coolers are the best deal out there. Watching YouTube video comparisons the Rtics hold ice as long or longer than Yetis. Plus they are on sale right now which they rarely are. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

n2horns Report post Posted December 21, 2016 I have many of the coleman 5 and 7 day coolers and never had issues. Pre cool cooler and used block ice, kept in shade and didnt open much. I have a canyon cooler but havent used it hard enough yet. I like the canyon sand color as it doesnt stick out as much in back of truck. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bgshooter Report post Posted December 21, 2016 The one problem with rtic is the 30 day warranty Just think of it as Yeti is forcing you to pay $200 for the 5 year warranty. For those that don't care about the warranty, save yourself the $200. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coach Report post Posted December 21, 2016 One thing to keep in mind, just tossing this out there - they all hold ice really well when properly cooled down and kept shut. If you are filling it with beer and opening it every few minutes to fish out a cold one, even the best ones require replenishing ice (and beer) almost daily. Or so I've heard. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Exactly why I use multiple medium coolers. Stage them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted December 21, 2016 The one problem with rtic is the 30 day warranty I contacted them outside of my 30 day warranty for a physical blemish. I requested 20% back, and within 3 hours my request was fulfilled so take that 30 day warranty with a grain of salt. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Picked up a grizzly because of significant saving over a yeti. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Str8Shot Report post Posted December 21, 2016 The one problem with rtic is the 30 day warranty RTIC is a 7 year warranty with terms basically identical to YETI ... not to mention the 65 is actually 65 not 61 https://rticcoolers.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/212937197-RTIC-Cooler-Warranty-Policy 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
