RTIC v YETI law suit settlement

I have a Yeti, I have two Rtic soft sides. All great coolers. I bought the Rtic because of the price. Paying $200 more dollars for the same cooler, just seems dumb to me. I'm not so caught up in the brand name game that I have to have everything yeti......though I have bought 2 bge's instead of kamado joes or something else.

I don't think RTIC is sinking.
Sounds like we will see GEN II in the Spring.

what intellectual property. They didn't invent this type of cooler. Maybe you guys will disagree with me but they are nothing more than a marketing company. The coolers were created and used in the medical industry long before yeti started to sell them.______________________________________________I love lamp.. -

Have never and will never pay the prices that Yeti asks for their stuff.
WHY DOES ANYONE NEED THIS?? Who takes longer than 24hrs to drink a glass of water??
Anything more expensive or complex than a Turvis tumbler is a waste of $$$$. They insulate plently, are tough, and dishwasher safe. And made in the USA!Dustin - Macon, GA

I respectfully disagree.
I used Tervis cups for 10+ years. Living in Phx, I can assure you the stainless make a world of difference. It isn't even close.

Yeti also filed a lawsuit against Wal-Mart last year for the same thing against Ozark Cups. Only thing is Wal-Mart definitely has better lawyers than RTIC I'm sure. -

argh! I was trying so hard not to buy a 'fancy cooler' -- just ordered a 45

It's good to know that RTIC is staying in bidness. I can't wait to buy more of their great products and give an even bigger middle finger to YETI

I already got shipping confirmation

Seems to me the fact that Yeti was/is willing to sue shows that the facts are they have nothing "special" to offer.

I ordered a 20 about an hour ago and already have a shipping conf.
I wanted the Yeti Roady for while, but 250 for it was insane. $100 is reasonable for my needs.
So what was the warranty change? -
