I'll stick with some no name igloo for now. I had to replace a wheeled cooler this weekend cause mine blew out the back of the wife's toy suv when I wasn't looking.
23 and change at walmarks for a 38 quart wheelie cool. After I put some measuring marks on it and wrote the size limits for most fish in the gulf on the lid with permanent marker - I love it.

Sell that bastard for $75 and I'll be fine with whatever for latches. But that's fugly Im with ya on that. I picked up a Treeline brand 20 Qt today on sale for $79. They had 45 Qt for $160 Never heard of them but they look like the fatboy branded coolers. https://fatboycoolers.com/fatboy-20qt-roto-molded-cooler.html#tab-product2

Seems like there is a new line of roto molded coolers coming out every week. Just different names. Yep....I just don't get it. "Oh, but they can keep ice for 5 days"....but realistically, how many people, really have a need to keep ice for 5 days? aside from someone maybe on a charter boat that or someone going to a primitive camp site for several days, I just don't see the point. I'm sure there are a few folks out there that truly need some super-duper megacooler, but most people just want some fancy beer cooler. The whole luxury cooler trend is seriously baffling.

I like the little ones only because I can throw that thing in the back of the truck with the chainsaws and whatever else tools and it will survive some really rough abuse. Give me an RTIC though. Whichever is the cheapest one is fine with me.
I can see where a guy might need a big one on a charter boat or getting dropped off in the back country. But how many people are really using it in that manner? Few.
I have a big Yeti that I got before all the others hit the market and it about worthless. I rarely use it. You have to have 2 people to pick it up if you are loaded with a days worth of beer. So why you need it to keep ice for 5 days?.... I don't know someone explain that to me? You need to drink faster.

If you read more carefully I specified aside from being in the back country....
Ain't no deer camp too far to drive to the store and get more ice in this state.

What percentage of people who buy a "high end" cooler (yeti/orca/rtic/etc) actually have that need, vs the percentage that just use it like they would use any other cheap cooler? My guess is that an overwhelming majority of expensive cooler owners could use a <$50 cooler from Walmart and see no functional difference.

For me, it's the fact that I'll never have to buy another cooler again....ever. I know 3 or 4 people who all had Yetis that the lid warped, with the ends bowed upward, to the point where the lid was no longer air tight. All said they left theirs sitting in the back of a truck all day every day, so maybe the extreme heat/sunlight caused it? This was a few years ago, maybe Yeti (and others) have remedied this? I just know I'd be pissed if I spent $300+ on a cooler that wouldn't even stay closed.

I got nothing against them... Like I said I've got a couple I use all the time.
What I am against is spending $300 on one. That's stupid. I learned my lesson.
Give me a $100 knock off that works just as good.

Anyone have any experience with Ozark Trail 26 quart cooler? I have one that I got about 4 months ago. Seems well made for the price. But just like any of these coolers it isn't going to make ice. I get a good 2 days out of it sometimes 3. But all the people that have the high end that are being honest aren't getting anymore out of those.

BamBam has a K2 on his work truck, but he's a pipeliner and out on the fireline all day...I get it.
For me, though?...nah...I can buy SEVERAL 110 qt Igloos that I can actually pick up without a forklift and still come out cheaper than buying 1 measly little 65 qt Yeti.

Mine has been in the bed of my truck for 3 years. Before I bought it I went through coolers at a rate of severana year. Since inbought my yeti 5 years ago I have not had to buy another cooler. This is where I'm at. I was spending $50-$75 a year on roller bag coolers for the pool, etc. One trip to the beach and the handles were full of sand and wouldn't retract, metal parts were rusted, etc. They found the dumpster fairly quick. I've got an Orca 20qt for the pool and a RTIC 45 for trips and such. I will say I got lucky and got the 45 when RTIC liquidated after the lawsuit so I didn't pay much for it. There is nothing to rust or wear out so hopefully if I don't lose them or have them stolen I am done buying coolers for a really long time.
