I've got 3 canyons and as yekrut said they all do the same job...

Which one is the cheapest in the 25 or so quart size?

I'd take a look at this Coleman Xtreme.

I've got an Orca. The only thing I'd change would be getting the next size up.

I bought a Magellan, works great. I would put long handle and wheels on the bottom.

I have a canyon. It does as good as I would ever want a cooler to do. One thing I like about the canyon is that the handles, latches, plug, etc are all recessed so the sides are smooth. Nothing sticking out to hang up on stuff and break

They don't "make" them coolers just sayin

I've got a Canyon, and I like it better than any cooler I've ever bought. But for the price, I would expect better performance.

I think BamBam has a K2 on his welding truck...that thing holds ice forever!

SAMs has a rotomolded cooler for $200 it looked very nice for the money.

But seriously, why not yeti?

I've got the 50 quart with the extendable handle in this line. It does just fine. It held ice at the beach this summer for 3 1/2 days. Less than the advertised 5, but not too shabby for the price. And we paid about half what Coleman sells them for at Walmart.

I have one in Clem's link and it dry rotted and cracked in 2 years. The handles broke too.

Wow. Good real-world experience right there. I was going based on a friend of mine who uses the religiously and swears by them.

I wish I had a red Igloo like my dad used back in the '70s and '80s. Seemed those things kept ice for days and were indestructible, except for the plastic support strap holding the lid to the box.

It worked well while it lasted and for the price, you may be just as well. I still have it and keep it at the camp for emergencies. It is just pretty awkward toting around with no handles and you never know when the cracks are going to split wide open.

You answered your own question. You can get the same cooler without the bumper sticker for a fraction of the price nowadays from several different sources.

I had one of those and had the same thing happen as reb. The plastic spit around the seals and the insulation dried out.

got any pics? I might get me one..that's close by

Orca is the exact same as the yeti except how they measure their actual storage. And the fact that orca is made in the USA. I had an issue with the gasket on my 26qt. I sent them an email and 4 days later it was at my door. They are based out of Nashville with great customer service. I will buy their products from now on. Quality products made in the US with great customer service will get my business every time over a bargain. Within reason of course.
