Am looking to buy a new cooler. My current one doesn't hold ice very long. Not interested in purchasing a Yetti . Remember reading a post on here a year or so ago about coolers but I do good to remember what I done last week let alone what I read a year ago. Any comments or ideals would be welcomed.

I really like my rtic cooler but even walmart has the same style coolers these days.

Rtic has been running a pretty good sale

Ditto, Rtic coolers are a good value and work well.

Get a Marine grade cooler, they have extra insulation, thicker lids, and UV degrade inhibiters in the plastic. My Igloo 50 is claimed to hold ice for 5 days @ 90 degrees and it does.

The Walmart Ozark Trail is a solid deal. I'm pleased with mine.

The Rtics are nice, after comparing them side by side to a Pelican cooler on a float trip in 100 degree misery, I went with the pelican. It has a commercial grade freezer seal and has really impressed me with ice retention when compared to the POS red Walmart specials that I have always had, a fish measuring scale on top, 4 molded cup holders in the top, a built in bottle opener, made in the USA and a lifetime warranty. I also preferred the pelican style latches compared to the Rtic rubber t-handle latches. Also you can secure it to a truck bed with a cable lock and still be able to open it to grab a cold one.

Yeti isn't anti 2A. I don't own one, but should buy one just to protest the NRA being a drama queen over nothing. Not kissing the butt of the NRA does not make a company Anti 2A.

Just got a 77 quart Lifetime for hunting trips last evening. My 28 quart Lifetime has been good for a work cooler all summer. Not inexpensive but built well and keeps stuff cold.

Yeti discontinued it's discount program with the NRA when it became politically-correct to do so and to appease the left in the wake of the Parkland, Fla., shooting at Marjory Douglas High School. When the backlash was more than they expected Yeti tried to back-peddle and say it was all a mistake.

I was gifted a small Yeti that sells for 200. Not impressed with its ability to keep ice for what that thing costs. Stick with the knockoffs- they cant be any worse.

Actually they quit the discount program when it ran its course and no longer made business sense for them to do so! If Yeti was back peddling and said it was all a mistake then why didn't they
put the discount program back on with the NRA? Because it doesn't fit your take and narrative on it. Some people get things in their heads and make stuff up!

We run grizzly, that sits on top of our 2800 gallons of tack at 180 degrees on our spray paver at work... between the temp of our oil tank and the 290 degree material that runs through our paver.. the grizzly has worked well... only problem is that the lid likes to vacuum to the cooler so tight that you got to pry it open with something... probably because it’s hot
