I researched all the tests on Youtube and looked at all the brands. I was most impressed with Rtic, even more than Yeti. Let's be honest, these ice-chests are all about the same with the same technology or designs. They do the same stuff. Rtic seems like the best price for the same thing as YETI. Why pay more when you don't need to? I use the Rtic in the back of my truck when going hiking or camping, many times I'm in Yosemite for 2-5 days where the sun is hot. I have a tonneau cover on my tacoma truck so it protects even longer. I have drinks, food, etc. and it lasts for days. It keeps my ice cold. Nothing like drinking cold drinks.
The few drawbacks with any of these bigger ice-chests is 1.) they are heavier in dry weight than a typical ice-chest (the technology to keep these drinks cold requires it). That's totally fine. I fill my ice-chest in the back of my truck with ice and drinks so I don't challenge my back. 2. The second thing is I wished they had a shelf design for food items. I know I can leave them protected from the ice and the bigger ice-chests are meant for parties and drinks, but it would be great option.
For what it's worth, I'm still giving 5 stars, but hoping they develop an option for a removable shelf-slide in.
