It's about time for him to have another meltdown. Seems to happen every few years. We'll see who he blames this one on. Sad.
There are some posts here on it somewhere. YETI sued RTIC over infringements of various parts and pieces (don't know all of them). RTIC recently settled. They have to pay YETI and they have to redesign some of their products. RTIC claimed it was a win. Sounds like they lost a little in a settlement so they wouldn't lose a lot in a trial. Their coolers are/were on clearance in Amazon way cheaper than normal even. I don't know if it effects the tumblers. I think it was more the straight rip of the cooler but I don't really know. Try Engel if you're looking for other tumblers and won't be able to get RTIC any more. My wife loves hers better than the YETIs.
I hadn't heard that. We sold the Caribou brand for a while. They're pretty good too. Just not a great seller because most people don't recognize the name. That's why we went to RTIC.
Put an Expat Knives sticker on each one of them and you won't be able to keep them in stock! Probably increase your margins 10%
blaming no one. Just seeing the world for what it really is.......and laughing my ass off the entire time.
I love my 45 and 65 cooler. RTIC’s 2017 Products Line to be Rolled Out on or before May 1, 2017. RTIC is excited to announce more details on the Company’s rollout of its new 2017 product line.

no i just had a theory.......and played it off in a drunk fueled rant style , to avoid being visited by sweepers. Had a little fun....read between the lines and have some reading time on some of the conspiracies......
I bought a Yeti 75 a couple of years ago for a Florida trip. My old coolers were on there last leg. I went to the Walmart, Dicks sporting and other places with the intention of just buying another Igloo or Coleman. For the size I wanted(family of 6) The cost was $100 or more. I thought I really hate spending that much knowing it probably isn't going to hold up but a couple of years and rarely do they really keep things cold all day. Then I remembered this group and thought about when folks were talking about a group buy in an ESEE logo Yeti and I thought folks were crazy for spending that much on a cooler. I started doing my research on the Yeti and thought you know what I'm going to try one. I bought the Yeti 75 for our Florida trip in 2015 and couldn't be happier. Honestly expensive when purchasing but sure beats buying a cooler that doesn't keep drinks cold and doesn't hold up. I wouldn't be opposed to trying one of these other brands but I don't see ever going to a cheap cooler again. Cooler has been on two Florida trips (soon to be three) , several camping trips, a lot of fishing trips and some hunting trips. I must say thank you to this group for bringing them to my attention several years ago even though I thought you were a bunch of nuts for spending that much on a cooler.
I've got a 65 and 45 RTIC and love them. I still buy a igloo for fish in the boat. We even use the RTIC 45 as a sight fishing platform. I got both on sale and was even better.
