Yeti vs engel vs RTIC

I have RTIC and Yeti. Both work great, quality control is better on the Yeti, there were a few manufacturing (only cosmetic) issues with the RTIC, but it keeps beer just as cold. Happy with both, cant go wrong!

 

You really can't go wrong with any of the choices. With yeti, it's a little more about the brand, and they make all the extra accessories and branded shirts and buckets and lawnchairs.

I got mine used and it saved me a lot of money and it works just as fine. I may replace the seal in the near future but it's been an invaluable purchase for all of my multi-day trips.

 

Yeti all the way. As one that lost a house on the coast during hurricane Harvey and worked to rebuild, I have a deep respect for HEB, Ben E Keith and Yeti. Yeti had a day where they donated 100% of sales —- not profit but sales —- to Harvey relief. Good on them for that. The others mentioned had trucks out there feeding us for months during the cleanup and rebuild. yes it’s pricey. But he quality is solid and they provided support when it was needed most ...

There was 4 feet of water running through that house from the bay side through to the beach a few days before these pics. The island was closed off and it sat in 90+ degree heat for about 4 days before I got down. Yowsers!!!!
