    No test on the RTIC?

      Same Question. I like my RTIC!

      Rick Browne would have to give you the final details here DWCowles but some manufacturers just plain said no.

    My guess is it's too similar to Yeti & Grizzly, so eliminated a little redundancy. I could easily be wrong, just a wager. Also, he mentions in the very beginning that 6 manufacturers took him up on the offer to test. Perhaps RTIC was one who didn't wish to participate.

    The performance of the Cabela's is impressive!

          Great info. It would be interesting to see Rtic as well.

          I do do have a few soft sided coolers. One Yeti and one Rtic. The Yeti does well in the summer when I take it to the Lake. Most of the Ice melts, but the water stays cold enough to use. I only got the Rtic late fall, so haven’t been able to see how it works in the heat.

          But out thanks again for the review. Cabela’s always puts out great stuff!

            Time to run to Cabela's Bargain Cave and take a look see! Our Cabela's just opened. Just in time to close or turn into a Bass Pro.

              First thing I did was check those coolers- nope, no bargains yet. I wonder if Cabela's will re-brand or operate as Cabela's still...I only read a couple articles and none (that I seen anyway) addressed that.

                I appreciate the thought and abuse tests that went into this review.

                Still interested to know
                1. How hard is each to clean when bbq drippings get inside and potentially stain/smell? Is there a difference between roto molded and conevtional materials?
                2. How robust are the gaskets and sealing mechanisms to the aforementioned drippings? How hard is it to obtain and install replacement gaskets?
