That and they basically stole from Yeti's success.







I hear you, and understand what you're saying. From what I've looked into they haven't violated any laws. I've always felt YETI was gouging the public ... I just can not fathom that it takes that much money to make a cooler. I knew someone would eventually offer it for half price.

If I was Yeti, I would buy the RTIC company and start a product line off it. Even if they shut down RTIC, the barn doors are open ... everyone now knows the coolers are being sold for twice what they should be, and another company will spring up to exploit this market.
