Mrs. Irish and I were in Bass Pro Shops yesterday. She was looking at clothes and if you know women this can take decades, so I was browsing around the store. I didn't need anything so I was just looking. Stopped by the cooler section and they have what appears to be a Yeti soft sided lunch box. No kidding it was about the size of a lunch box. It was $200.  I had to double check the price. Unreal. I have a 3 RTIC coolers and bought them all on clearance. I have just a little bit more than $200 in all 3. I have a 45 and a 20 hard sided and a smaller soft sided cooler. They have been great.

I wish could find an old green, ironside Coleman with the stainless steel hinges and locking clasp.
I guess if they still made those it would cost more than a yeti. But those were indestructible and kept ice for a month. I have one that looks like new.

I got an Rtic last year and it has served me very well. I can't justify paying the money charged for a yeti when I can get the same cheaper through another brand.

I haven't tried them all but hauling meat across the country, I've found rtic and pelican to be as good as yeti. K2 seems to be a little bit below those others. This is in the 50-80 qt range.

I doubt if these new replica Coleman's are the same quality as the ones I remember. But I'm fixing to buy one of them vintage Coleman's from ebay.
I remember traveling all over the country, to motorcycle races, 40 years ago. My dad's old green Coleman had been banged around in the back of our 65 Chevy step side for thousands of miles and you couldn't even tell it used to be green. But it kept those Miller ponies ice cold for a week or longer in the hot summer. Me & my cousin, both 6 or 8 years old, would sneak around and steal a pony a week after the races and they'd still freeze our fingers.
Good times.

I can’t justify spending all that money on a yeti. Ain’t no way. Plain Jane igloo works just fine. I can buy a lot of ice for the price of a yeti
I would rather be tried by 12, than carried by 6.

What's y'alls opinion on an alternative to Yeti. Something that will keep ice like that cooler but not as expensive.
Dr. B How long do you need ice to keep?
