RTIC's soft coolers are larger than yeti's but look fairly similar to the yeti hopper flip 12. Copyright infringement can hit on alot of things and I am not sure how much this will shake up RTIC or if it will just be the coolers, but it will still hurt them for now especially with how new of a company they are.

I bet it don't hurt them at all...I think it helps them. The more they are mention with Yeti the better for them IMO.
I think it does more to make them than it does to break them. We'll see.

I bought the RTIC 65 on Amazon for $149.99 with two free day shipping with prime week after Christmas. I don't see any of the larger hard coolers for sale on amazon now. I also have the soft RTIC 30. Keeps a 30 pack of busch light ice cold til its gone.
EDIT: you can get the RTIC 65 for 139.99 from www.rticcoolers.com right now. absolute steal.
