New here. Anyone can recommend Yeti vs RTIC?

bgebrent

I want to get my brother a nice cooler.  He hunts deer and boar.  He's also damned to upstate NY.  But many months he needs a good cooler.  I've heard there's a Pelican cooler.  Appreciate any input.  Thanks in advance.

I'm sorry!  This wasn't meant to be a religious thread.  Do you have a preference @DoubleEgger?

Not really.

I cut a hole in the top of my Yeti 110 to use my Anova Sous Vide. 

Tastes better in powder blue.

Coleman or Igloo, from the buzz I've heard, hold ice.

I guess the real question is whether or not you want to be labeled as a scumbag on an online grilling forum.

The Pelican is made in the USA.

If you gotta ice that for that long you should see a doctor.

I heard Yeti won some legal lawsuit court proceeding.  Will people be coming for my RTIC?  Is the KULA a good replacement?

I just want to make the right choice.  Any other input would be much appreciated?

Are Yetis and RTICs from China?  I don't want to expose my family to lead paint!

I like the latches on Pelican. I like the price of RTIC. Yeti has great marketing.

Really nice self video Matt!  Looks like an Igloo.  How long does that hold ice?  After some melt, does it det more difficult to handle?

I just bought a new Ye-Tic 62.5 hard top soft pack. So far it holds a lot of dirt.

Is the dirt partition well sealed or is spillover an issue?

I order my coolers from SRF.  Coolers are pretty pricey, but the free meat is killer.
