Industry insider chatter is that YETI is taking legal action and will put RTIC out of business by March 2017. This could get interesting if YETI has not adequately protected its patents.

I wonder if they intend to sue all the other rotomolded cooler manufacturers. If not, why not? What is RTIC doing that the others aren't?
I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.

YETI hasnt really diversified like other companys have. Remember Coleman started out making camp laterns, now they make everything and stock two isles at Walmart.

Yeti products are still nice and have the first-mover and "best brand" intangibles. Those guys built a phenomenal company.

Say what y'all want but you can't beat a yeti cooler. I've got the cups coolers and huggers. Are they overpriced? Hell yeah. Is it worth it??? I'll take a double out of that yeti cooler chit I ain't driving. Do they make ice? Nope. Do they hold it ? Yes mam very well. You can not argue with or match yeti. If you are too cheap to buy it then enjoy your walmart junk or shut up. And btw at 1.65 a lb you'll pay for that cooler in 1.3 years. Keep a walmart cooler for that long using it damn near every day. News flash you cant.

Yeti isn't going anywhere. People always talk about the price and how ice is cheap. It isn't the ice that makes it worth it. I bought my 65 five years ago. It has been in the bed of my truck or on a four wheeler or boat everyday I have owned it. It is still in perfect shape. Before the Yeti, I had to but a new cooler at least once a year. I have thrown away more coolers with broken kids, handles, hinges and latches over the years then I care to remember.
You guys want to brag about how long your truck last, or your Honda atv. But, have no problem buying a piece of shucks cooler and replacing it every year.
As for RTIC, they are never going to run Yeti out of business, because they can't provide a product in a timely manner. That, and like it or not, Yeti is a status symbol just like many other things we buy. Some folks won't admit it and that's OK, but it doesn't make it untrue. If it wasn't a status symbol there wouldn't be stickers.
