I've watched this with interest and have quickly searched several of the options mentioned....only quickly. So far there appear to be exactly NONE that lead the pack as the obvious best deal on cost, quality, and toughness. Had no idea there were so many versions and brands.
To many to compare....going back to looking at rifles and scopes....this is to confusing....
Yeah, there's so many available, why spend twice as much as you have to? It's a freakin cooler. The Yeti 45 was $300 and the Rtic 45 was $170. It was a no-brainer to me. Next time though, I might look into some these other "Made in the USA" brands.
