How about another "Cooler" question
So we know how much these high end coolers cost(Yeti, Pelican etc etc)...not even sure I need one but I am interested in the ice retention. I bring it up now, wondering if anyone has purchased any of ...

RTIC Coolers are half the price of the YETI and hold more ice. I bought the 64 quart size - and yes, as someone posted, I waited a while to get it. This is because they ship directly from the manufacturer and are not sold in retail stores. I paid 200 bucks - the YETI Tundra is 400 bucks. Both are roto molded type coolers.
My Coleman Extreme can't keep ice for more than two days - even with ice blocks made from half gallon milk cartons. The RTIC blew it away on my last trip - I spent 5 days at a site and never replaced ice in Florida. I'm sure it could have gone another few days.
If you need a good cooler and can wait for it, RTIC is a no-brainer.
