Got a soft side 20. Was disappointed that it was made in China.

Where are your coolers made?
Like other major competitors, RTIC products are made in China in order to provide the best quality at the lowest price to you, the consumer. Just like many of the outdoor products you will buy at your favorite sporting goods store; overseas manufacturing is a cost effective way for retailers to provide an affordable product to its customers.

On a positive note, RTIC won't be dumping the NRA.

Will RTIC sponsor our team?
We appreciate your interest in RTIC products; however, at this time, we are not accepting marketing, sponsorships or pro staff inquires.

As someone whose company has built brands for over 40 years, I've been scratching my head for some years now at Yeti's "brand." It was basically built with a lot of money pushing out their own stats and stories to justify a price 4X the market value of competitors. They should have been called out long ago by a "new" competitor who could have had a lot of fun and sales by turning around their over-the-top marketing. Sadly, no company stepped up as I suspect they were all wishing they had done it first.

Most companies are me too and spend most of their time keeping enough money coming in to pay their six and seven figure salaries of their C-Level people. Nobody and no company ever stepped up to be the Yeti killer. Now it appears they may be killing themselves. Or, they've done some serious data mining that tells them their base isn't interested in the Second Amendment and we are not their target market.

They do spend a bit of money supporting Trout Unlimited. However, my personal experience is the Trout Unlimited top executives are ultra libs who would happily hand in their guns. TU president posted a video screed earlier this year about Trump that was so far outside of the mission of TU that he should have been fired immediately. Instead a few hundred members resigned and it all went away.

I suspect Yeti is following that type of thinking along with the CEO of Dicks.

There is so much money being spent to strip of us our rights at this time and most of us are in denial.

MY COOLERS ALWAYS GET EMPTY BEFORE THE ICE MELT'S. MAYBE I'M DOING SOMETHING WRONG!

It would be great if Bass Pro and Cabelas actually took a stand and destroyed their entire stock of Yeti coolers.

Man that’s a lot $$$ to just destroy.

They should donate the tumblers and cups to the homeless, so when they now invade the Starbucks, it will keep their coffee hot.

Damn you, Carson! I just spit out some Bulleit bourbon through my nose thanks to you!

(and apparently the rep cannon is empty)

I saw a video after I bought my cooler that compared Yeti, RTIC and the Walmart flavor and IIRC, the Walmart was just as good. I bought my cooler so when the wife and I travel by car, we dont have to get ice all the time.

Yeti coolers are way over priced. You could probably do the same by sticking a little cooler inside of a big cooler. The compartment space inside is a joke. Fuck yeti!

They are all the same, thick walls.
