Free to Dallas area as well.. might need to get another one or 3..

I ordered a soft 40. IT Came quick! I'm very impressed!

Couldn't pass it up. Ordered the 65 qt one today. They only have the tan 65 qt in stock. Wife wanted the "pretty blue one", but it will be 2 months before they have those. Their Facebook says the sale goes until Super Bowl Sunday.

Looks like most Bucees have them at that 30% off price. Stopped at the one in New Braunfels and got the 20 qt soft side for $69 and it was the Mrs that wanted it more than I did! They only had the 20 qt hard side cooler --- probably sold out the 45 and 65 ones there. Also picked up the handles for the 30 oz tumblers --- they work great!

Their website is showing that they are completely sold out on the 65's

I wonder if they allow back order at that price. I'd buy one if they did.

Ordered a 65 on Friday in Tan. UPS tracking shows it is at backdoor today

Discount is still available at checkout with free shipping

Snagged a 30 Softpak at BucEes in Bastrop Friday. Held out until I was able to put my hands on it, used it all weekend at lease. I like it.

Ordered my 65 on Friday and got it this afternoon. Jimmy John fast!

How do the soft sides hold ice compared to a Yeti? I want 3 days out of one if possible. The Yeti does that, my Polar Bear does not. Zipper top lets all air escape. It might be best on insulation but if the top leaks air then it is useless. Not sure how that passed testing...

So does anybody besides me think the warranty is crappy? I have a pelican but I was going to try a RTIC 65. I go on their website and see they only cover their coolers for 30 days. That doesn't inspire much confidence in their product. I know they're cheaper but 30 days on a $200 cooler!?

Pretty sure you won't have any problems - I wouldn't get too hung up on the warranty

You mean with the cooler or the warranty?

I wouldn't worry about the warranty or the cooler

Can't compare to a Yeti, but I got an Rtic soft side for Christmas and have only used it for a few days over the holidays. I have a Polar Bear also and I think the Rtic blows it away. Seems more sturdy and has a tighter seal than the Polar Bear, which is the problem you were referring to.

IMO the Polar Bear is okay, but only marginally better than the cheapo soft side you would buy at Walmart. The Rtic is in another class.

Thanks. The Polar Bear was a Christmas gift. I was going to buy myself the Rtic and wrap it but saw the PB under the tree from the aunt. Even has our name embroidered on it... I'l go ahead and buy one and use it when it is warm outside. PB needs to fix their zipper.

Duck: I got the Rtic 20 soft side and it came with a small tube of stuff you are supposed to periodically put on the zipper to maintain the seal of the zipper. Maybe you can try some of that on your PB to see if it might help.

What's everybody's opinion on the Softpak 30 vs 40? Anybody have both? Like one size better than the other?

Grab them at Bucee's.

Aka RTIC(not a half a billion company like yeti) drug out litigation long enough until new line was finished. Then settled... new line probably ships next month lol.
