I'm saving my money until thermos comes out with a 6' model.
They have one but it is only available in Europe. It is the 1.85m model.

The Brute coolers are very comparable to the Yeti except lighter and more affordable, the owners are right here in the Fort Worth area and they stand behind their product, I have a 90 and am looking at a 2o right now. I bought the 55 or 65 (whatever size it is) from Eagle Outdoors in Lindale on a recommendation of a guy here on TFF. So far it has met all expectations. I loaded it down 2 Fridays ago when I picked it up with 36 Dr Peppers and 8 Power Aids (all hot fresh from the store) and filled it up with ice. It rode in the truck all day Friday, the boat half of Saturday and the truck the rest of the weekend. Then back to work on Monday in the sun all day and I finally lost the ice on Tuesday. Not quite 5 days but then again, I was either fishing or working the entire time so it was opened probably 10 times a day or more plus my buddies at work were finger blasting it so it was opened even more than normal. Sure, $200 bucks is a lot of money, that's like a month's worth of boat gas for me BUT I need it, it works well, so it's worth it. I'd recommend them to anyone. They are heavy full BUT I was able to load it by myself (my truck isn't small) and then when putting it in my boat, I could lift it, walk from the lowered tailgate to the bow of my boat and step around the pedestal seat to put it in the floor without falling over so it's not that heavy. If you need a good cooler and don't want to drop the coin on a Yeti, Brute is the way to go. Plus, it's a Tx company.

I think Yeti is a Texas company too. We went to the Larry Joe Taylor Music festival in Stephenville in April. We used a yeti 65 as our beer cooler for the 5 days we were there. From Tuesday through Saturday we ran 7 cases of beer through the cooler. We only had to add ice to it Friday morning. In years past using my igloo marine out of my Bluewave we've gone through about 200 more pounds of ice on average. They are expensive to start but I'd rather have bought one several years ago than have the ice chest graveyard like I do now. To each his own. My uncle still swears by his old green metal Coleman cooler that he's had since Moby Dick was a minnow

They are very good at keeping ice from what I am told by those that have them.
