I know a bunch of you guys have many different brands of coolers. I am tired of the cheap models. I have a yeti for my drinks and really like it. I am in the market for a larger cooler to hold my deer or fish when needed. What do you guys have and lights on them. Good or bad.
K2 coolers are very good!
Check them out
Orca have a 75 and 40 love them....Made in USA also
They've done comparison tests on all of the big name brand coolers side by side JW. Google the results of the heads up competition on high end coolers.
They are all about the same. Very durable but heavy. K2, Engel, Orca, Yeti....Coleman even has a roto molded one now also.
I can tell you this.. I have a buddy whose 58qt Orca busted a hinge, they sent a brand new cooler no questions asked.. Holler at me if you in market.. Fixin to order a few anyway
I saw the Coleman roto molded cooler at dams for $200. Looked nice an didn't know if any others had experience with em.
JW, read a couple of different cooler tests. In the test conditions the Coleman Extreme ranked right up there with the best. I have one and it does a pretty good job for keeping ice in hot weather. I am sure the others might be some better but for keeping fish during a fishing trip the Coleman is well worth it. Another thing for me is the weight of the higher end ones. I would sure try to find some reviews on that new Coleman. 200 verses 500 is a big difference.
I gave 60 bucks 8 years ago for a 60 qt Igloo Max Cool. It will keep ice for a week out in the hot sun without out pre cooling with two bags of ice and keeping in the shade etc like Yeti and K2 recommend doing. This cooler has been treated rough and sat on and everything else and is still going strong.
I have a small Engel for lunch and drinks, it also doubles as a step for people to board my boat at the ramp. I use a wheeled 70 qt Igloo for my fish. I generally clean my fish at the end of the day, and don't need to protect my catch from bears.
What about Bigfeets?Quote:

BRUTE IS AN AWESOME COOLER AS WELL AS PELICAN . :twocents
I just use one of the soft sided lunch coolers. One fish fits nice along with 6 cubes of ice and I'm good to go.
Wannabe...
Orca also comes in pink.....little bit would like that
I know she would lol
Orion cooler is another one to look at, especially if you like swirled/camo colors. They are made by the same people who make Orca, but it has different hinges and other fittings.
I give u 20$ for that raggly thang :)Quote:

Don't ask me how, but I think I have run over my yeti 3 times..... With the truck...and trailer. Only bad thing about them is they will tear your truck up before they bend/buckle/break. I have never used any other high dollar brands.i will not pay that much for a cooler. My yeti was given to me as a present and I try to just keep drinks in it. My fish coolers stay fishy and nasty year round. Can't seem to find a reason to upgrade other than looks and trying to look cool. I don't care about either as of now
I have one of those Igloo 150 qt coolers and it'll hold fish and ice for the entire weekend. Friday through Sunday. Not but 80 bucks at walmart or Sams
I'm sure they are good coolers but i don't take care of stuff well enough to spend that kind of money.I like the free coolers.
Which cooler at Wally World are you guys referring to?
Igloo Max Cool and Coleman Extreme
JW if you want a yeti, I'll sale one at cost to you bud. Text me what size you want.

I have a Coleman extreme, and as far as keeping ice, it is great. I have had trouble with the lid warping. I can warp it back with a wedge in the middle and a concrete block on each corner and set in the sun. I'm looking at adding some corner latches, but haven't got around to trying it yet. For a low end cooler it's not too bad, but I'm convinced you get what you pay for.
