What do you guys think about the YETI style coolers? I need a new ice chest and am considering this style of cooler. Do they really keep ice for 4 days in 90* temps? Any recommendations?

I can vouch for aerogel. Its the shit. Expensive though.I have one of these.. used to be way cheaper than YETI, especially if you can catch a sale.
It does hold ice for several days, but not sure about 4 days in 90deg.

My biggest issue is for the large size of the cooler, there isn't much space inside.. It's all insulation/foam in the walls.
Perhaps somebody can create one using NASA aerogel. Bet that would be cheap /s

Same - if the thing in there isn't perishable you can just leave it in there the whole time plugged in and the auto-cutoff system will prevent it from draining your battery. Cold drinks all the fucking time at that point. No buying $15 of ice every fuckign time you go to fill it either, and you don't need any goddamn space for ice so you can toss a TON of shit in there.I haven't tried a big new cooler since I bought a dual voltage plugin fridge. Was in my mobile bike mechanic van for a couple years. You don't know how nice it is to have ice cold water in 90deg/90% hunidity of DC area summers without worrying about filling up with ice every day
Work van so no adult beverages in it

I have RTIC and Yeti coolers. On my boat out on the Great Lakes they both will hold 180lbs of king salmon and 120lbs of ice for daaaaays. Sometimes the fish get so cold they are a bitch to filet when I get back to the harbor.
For those who don’t already know. The guys who started RTIC used to be affiliated with YETI. Offering a comparable product at a better value. Yeti subsequently filed a patent suit which RTIC settled.
My first fish box was a Yeti. Before RTIC was out. I’ve had both side by side on my boat. Both hold ice equally. Yeti offers more sizes. I also use them to chuck briskets in when they come off the smoker. They will keep BBQ warm for an incredibly long time.
I'd have to go look, but pretty sure it's a Dometic. Bought it for a trip to Ushuaia that hasn't happened because the world freaked out over a bad fluWhat model u have?
I like that handle. What did that cooler cost?Thank you for all of the replies. I ran out and picked up this. If I like it I'll try a larger one for longer trips.

100 degrees Celsius would cook that finger tip.I have one of these.. used to be way cheaper than YETI, especially if you can catch a sale.

I have a 70qt Bison and I love it. USA made, and they offer very generous .Mil/.Gov discount. Better latch design than Orca or RTIC too. I plan to buy a smaller one for float trips and other times when the 70qt is just too cumbersome.Bison Coolers, US made, out of Texas. www.bisoncoolers.com. 4-7 days of ice depending on opening and such. They helped support a charity project we did so can't be all bad.
$94.00. American made.I like that handle. What did that cooler cost?

Lifetime is out of Utah. I have a new coworker that used to work in the tool room of Lifetime. They're molded in Clearfield Utah. Some of their tables or chairs are molded overseas but their coolers are all here.And claim to be made in USA. Really like the one I have for the money.
So where are you getting this 12or 120v when out in the boonies? Are you dragging a shit ton of batteries around? Start your vehicle every 4 hours to charge the battery? What's the secret?Rotomolded fridges are great, and work great, but I would rather spend the money on an ARB 12v fridge. Skip the ice, keep your shit cold, use 12v or 120v.
It has a system to prevent your battery from dying and it lasts a long time if you aren't opening it 200 times a trip.So where are you getting this 12or 120v when out in the boonies?
