Anyone seen or heard of these? Supposed to be just like yeti but half the price.

I have the 30oz Tumbler and it is just as good as the Yeti. All my coworkers saw how well mine worked and bought them as well. I can't speak to the coolers though but may pull the trigger on one real soon after testing with the tumbler.

I just called the company and all of their coolers are on a 5 month backorder. Girl on the phone said there has been a huge demand. I would assume someone has used one and could give some review info.

People on another site say they have both and can't tell a difference. Only downside is they charge your card now for a cooler your gonna get in 6 months from China!

I haven't heard of the RTIC, but the Orion coolers are top notch in my opinion. We've used one for a little over a year now, and I couldn't speak more highly of it's performance and durability.

Chinese cooler. 2 thumbs down. Prolly has one of those labels on it that it contains lead and radio active materials also. Haha

If you want a yeti buy a yeti. Check out Craig's list you can get a yeti that has been used once for half of what they cost new and they're customer service is the finest I've ever experienced.

RTIC is based out of Houston. Are the Coolers made overseas, I am sure, but I am sure alot of the Yeti components are too. For the price, I say pull the trigger.

WHERE ARE YOUR COOLERS MANUFACTURED?
Our Tundra coolers are manufactured in the USA at facilities located in Iowa and Wisconsin as well as at a facility located in the Philippines. Our Hopper coolers are manufactured in China. Want a YETI made in the USA? Call us at (512) 394-9384 and we’ll make it happen.
Exactly what I thought. Straight off Yeti's website.

I bought two 30 oz tumblers. They are great. It took 3 weeks for delivery. Also got free shipping.

I have a handful of their 30 oz tumblers and they work just as great as my Yeti I got as a gift. I just ordered 2 more monday as gifts and they were shipped out this morning. As for their coolers, no thanks, Ill stick to my Yetis that I get free. Their customer service is top notch and I know if theres ever an issue with any of my Yeti products, ill have no trouble getting a replacement.
My best friend ordered and RTIC 65 last november, he just got it last week. No thanks.

Every independent review I have watched said they were exactly like the yeti. Some said they were a little larger as well which is a plus. The only downside I can see at this point is having to wait 5 or 6 months to get it.
