Why not find the factory in China and have them made at cost?

you dont get a sticker to put on the back window of your truck between the stacks?

havent seen a test of the cooler, but I would assume it would do about as well.

Checked on these, there are some informal video reviews. Seems alright to me, but out of stock everywhere.

Edit: None were durability reviews. Just ice retention and opinions. One fisherman indicated he was getting 9 days out of it. Unknown if used just for ice retention or like a beer cooler.

Pretty impressive, though I would assume that a YETI or the like would do about the same

Default Test is over
The ice is gone and the water temperature has risen above freezing, so to recap I put 40 lbs of ice in the cooler that hadn't been pre-cooled along with room temperature canned beverages, the test began on Friday morning and concluded this morning, so I was able to get 10 plus days out of the 7 day rated cooler.

Value is subjective.
I paid $345 for a pair of sunglasses. Worth it? Probably not.

I paid $40 for this Yeti and find great value in it. Filled with ice @ 6:30 am and still had 60% of the ice still in it 14 hours later. 24 hours and still had 25% left.

I sell the RTIC's personalized with vinyl. Everyone that has bought one and also owns a yeti, says they perform just the same. I do a TON of business based on price point. $25 vs $45

I also bought at the same time, the equivalent of this one from RTIC - for half the price. Only had one of each. I have no doubt in quality & performance being matched.

Any different than a vinyl window sticker? Any different application techniques? I have a sticker on one of mine and it's starting to peel and chip. Always hand washed.

Nope, I use the same stuff the sign companies use. If you need/want a replacement let me know

So just as a consideration, I ended up buying a Pelican 65qt cooler used off craigslist. It has a lifetime warranty and I noted that there was an ever so slight warp in the lid that is noticeable on the corners. Stuff has stayed mostly frozen and cold for several days, but I decided to see if their customer service is still any good.

I will preface that I've always preferred Pelican products, specifically their cases.

They are sending me a new cooler and having me drill 3 holes in the lid of the existing one (so warranty cannot be reused). Then I either dispose of or keep the existing one. I may convert it to a bait tank or something.

Pelican has always done good by me in the past. Not a super fast process, but typically you can rely on them honoring their warranties.

I've always heard the Pelican is great and their customer service is as well.

Not that I've used mine a lot, haven't had to go days without a fridge recently But I really like the construction/locks, and handles on the Pelican way better than the others

We use Pelican cases exclusively for land survey equipment, and I'll swear by it. Their gear keeps everything waterproof, shockproof etc.
