I’m in the market for a rolling cooler and will pay decent coin for a good one that will last. I initially wanted to get the Igloo at academy but it is $50 and looked too cheap. I have concerns about the longevity of it, but at the opposite end of the spectrum is a $500 yeti  that had reviews online about the telescoping handle having issues. What are y’all using? Surely I can a good one between for around $100-200 that will last me several years.

How big a cooler are you talking?

Get the size you want in a rotomolded cooler then buy a wheel kit to go on it. Several wheel kits out there to fit most any cooler.

Yeti and Pelican are really nice but I see that the prices turned you off. Here is one that is a little more affordable and in the size range you wanted. https://rticoutdoors.com/52-QT-Ultr...298198&utm_content=Wheeled%20Coolers

Try to find one with a long handle. Most or built for short folks. The wheel kits are nice.

Just get a 135 lb rottweiler to pull it for you.

I was looking at them last night and really like the set up. I just wanted to see what all I’d out there before I impulse purchased.

From what I've seen it's the wheels that are the weak spot in most coolers. The wheel kits mentioned above would get a lot of attention if I was looking. Just makes sense that a dedicated device/tool would have a stronger wheel set up. Wheels on coolers seem an afterthought by OEM manufacturers.
