RenoF250 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 I just ran into this on slickdeals.com today and ended up spending too much money. I have been eyeing soft coolers but they are just too expensive. This stuff is all half off. Hard case is down to HF prices and made in USA. https://www.rticcoolers.com/shop/clearance 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Czervik Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 (edited) I find their soft coolers meh. The first soft cooler didn't make it through one season without blowing out a seam, and I generally just use them to take smaller fish off the boat to the house. ETA: their ice keeping claims were wildly different then my experience Edited January 8, 2019 by Al Czervik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar_ml Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 no personal experience, but the only reviews I could find on the hard cases looked decent enough, especially for the price. I didn't need another long gun case, but I ordered a couple 18 and 1 22 inch case, so we'll see. If they are half as good as my stormcase or pelican boxes are then they'll be well worth the money.

Cougar_ml Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 (edited) okay, that's almost creepy. Order confirmed at 6:45pm , order updated with tracking numbers 7:05pm. I guess they really don't want to give me a chance to change my mind about them. oh, and shipping was free, so bonus.

I have some sort of a cooler fetish, hopefully this order will end it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cougar_ml Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 I sent the link to a buddy of mine. His ordered a couple of the 1 gallon jugs (in purple) for in his suzuki samurai, to be held in fire extinguisher brackets, to use for soup or other hot foods when out and about. I have weird friends.

I'm cheap, not a prime member, and don't pay for shipping if I can avoid it, so typically they don't even bother shipping for a week or more. A few times that I did do 2 day shipping they waited 3 or 4 days before shipping it with 2 day labels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scwine Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I've had an RTIC soft cooler for a couple of years(maybe 3-4?) it's been great. Use it all the time. I also have a 65 qt hard cooler that has been awesome as well. Just my 2 cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Cost me money. But it's OK. It's all stuff I didn't really need. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazy R Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I have one of their hard coolers and it's great. Also we gave away Rtic 20 and 30 oz drink cups with our company logo a while ago and I have a couple of those and like them. Bought a few things off this sale, thanks for posting!

They set mine to ship and I got tracking number for all 5 boxes to be here today, 2 actually arrived, 2 are on the move and one is still sitting there. I got the 16" case and backpack today. My Targus backpack is better but it was over 2X the price, it is a good backpack for $35. I am very happy with the 16" case, it has the best latches on any of the cases I have tried. The plastic feels a bit softer than my SKB or Pelicans but it is plenty strong. It is MUCH nicer than the HF units and made in USA for only $5 more.

Cougar_ml Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 I had my first order arrive, 2 18" and one 22" case. First thing I did was stand on one and bounce a little bit, it flexed a little bit didn't give me the impression it would break, so good to go for me.

The Houston items won't show up until the middle of next week, Cali items delivered this morning. I ordered them within an hour of each other, so I'm kind of in the same boat.

RenoF250 Posted January 12, 2019 Author Share Posted January 12, 2019 I did not realize RTic stepped right in to support the NRA after yeti went stupid, ran across that today. I may have to buy a couple more cases. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar_ml Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 So got in the 43" case and the hydration pack today. Thought I'd share more initial impressions. Case seems to be pretty well built. Standing in the middle and bouncing on it flexed the shell a little, but didn't feel like it would break. Put an AR and an extra upper in it and some magazines. I didn't mess with any of the foam yet, it's the soft pick and pluck type foam, so lots of give to it. The backpack with hydration bladder seems to be very well built, lots of pockets in it, including some on the waist belt. It seems just a little smaller than I was expecting, but if I actually needed another pack like this I could see shelling out the normal price, at $37 it's a pretty good deal if you're looking for one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazy R Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Received my 30 qt soft cooler yesterday. It's really nice and will be perfect for the Jeep. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Got the six-pack (8-pack?) cooler a couple days after ordering it. It's a disorienting blue/white color and it seems to be exactly like a cooler. The gallon jugs haven't shipped yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Scheduled to be delivered tomorrow. Good thing that everything has been staying cold naturally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pipedreams Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I just ordered a 18" carry case a hour ago and received message it shipped and should arrive Fri. Certainly can't complain about that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 They arrived today. They're much bigger than they look in the pictures. Now all I need is a gallon of vodka and a gallon of, like, I don't know, Jameson. Then I'm pretty good to go. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
