RTIC... half the price of a YETI and it's the same cooler basically. They work great!

Interesting thread. Like someone else said I had an old Coleman Extreme that provided I kept it in the shade would keep ice two or three days in deer camp. Don't know if the new ones are the same quality. My age if I buy another one it probably will be a similar one though vs a yeti or similar.

I really like my Bison but can't say whether or not one is any better than the other.

RTIC is the best for the price. Pelican coolers are my favorite. I have a 95 qt that makes a great sight fishing platform and keeps my food and drinks cold for days. I think that cooler might actually make ice.

I've got the artic lunch size and the 24. I took the lunch sized one fishing this weekend. I out 3 ice packs in it. The blue type that you freeze ahead of time. I had 2 sandwiches in zip lock bags and 2 can drinks. The can drinks were slushy to almost frozen at lunch time. I had to let the sandwiches sit a minute and thaw as the meat was almost frozen.

I've been very happy with my artics

Here is a interesting read and side by side comparison.

Might want to consider Walmart's Ozark Trail.

I have a small Bison, 20 or 25 at I think. It will not hold ice any longer than a cheap Igloo or Colman. I was very disappointed in it.

I went with a Megellan Ice Box 50 (Academys house brand) & couldnt be more pleased. Coming in at $169.99 compared to the Yeti @ $379.00. I paid $200.00 fer mine cause i bought it bout 6 months ago. Very heavy duty construction / material. Its a beast to move around. Great on my War Eagle for the much needed weight in the front.

I have had very good experiences with Ice Mule coolers FWIW.
