Frozen fish from AK to home...2 day trip, cheap-o Walmart cooler, frozen solid still...every piece. Also saves me $50 at the airport because the cooler itself isn’t over the baggage weight. 😂

I’m a believer in the RTIC products though, I just didn’t like your example. I carry one with me just like a lot of guys here.

I bought the Rtic cooler because I had a totally different experience. Plain old Coleman cooler filled with frozen deer meat packages with ice on top. Taped closed. 8 1/2 hours later I get home and the first thing I do is to get the meat in the freezer. Top packages are thawed. I had to put them in the fridge and cook them the next day. Have never had that problem since getting the Rtic cooler.

I always prechill my coolers before long uses, maybe this helps me. I also don’t leave any open spaces. How is this possible you might ask? I take the entire cooler and put it in my BIL chest freezer. As fish get filleted, the get put in the cooler. Helps me get the most I can fit into the cooler/coolers.

Rtic and yeti? Very little if any. I do have a soft cooler that is yeti and I think it’s the shit over soft coolers.

Then I have the ones from the Napa store. They good but probably not as insulated as the two above. Which is nice for a 20 qt. Who needs a dry 40# fucking drink cooler?

I’ve got a couple cheap ones, ozark and playmate. They’re good for some cold beers if you’re drinking them fairly quick. But if you’re doing a weekend you’ll be making multiple trips for ice.
Wife bought me a yeti based on my sons recommendation. I’d of gone with an rtic but not going too look a gift horse in the mouth...
