Is RTIC as good as Yeti for half the price?

Yes, the RTIC Ultra matches the Yeti Tundra within a couple hours of ice retention. Both are rotomolded, thick-walled, gasket-sealed, and bear-proof certified. Yeti has a slightly better latch and warranty, but you’re paying 50–60% more for the badge. In a blind test, your beer won’t know the difference.
