Title: COOLER/ICE CHEST
Post by: SWAMPFOX on December 24, 2018, 10:40:40 PM
I'm in the market for a new cooler/ice chest and while I can afford a Yetti, I'm not sure I wanna go there since I don't want to worry about some one stealing it outta my truck when I'm not around.  Are there any coolers in the same class as a Yetti but without the "curb" appeal of one?   

Thanks.

Yetti is way overpriced.

I have an Rtic and plan to buy a second one. They've had discounts the past six months. Absolutely awesome coolers. I conducted my own test during the Summer (CoolerTest) (http://www.ultimatebass.com/bass-fishing-forum/index.php?topic=143744.msg1599325#msg1599325) , it kept ice for more than 5 days in the trunk of a car and garage. Rtic is made in TX.

You might remember Yetti sued Rtic a while back.

No matter what brand you get I would recommend getting a cable lock for it. It won't stop a determined thief but will keep the honest thieves honest.

I am planning on buying one of these before spring/summer.  I have seen a bunch of test's on Youtube on RTIC or Ozark Trail vs Yeti and they have proven their just as good.
