Looking for new ice chests without the Yeti price?

Several buds have em and have the Walmart brand, Ozark Trail. Not a nickles worth of difference and the guys with the Yetis will tell you that.

Lifetime is made right down the road from me, in Clearfield. I'm lucky that they have not one but TWO factory second outlet stores near me. They do not use the rotary molded method that Yeti and other MUCH higher brands use, but their products are right up there in quality, nonetheless. You will never be sorry you bought Lifetime.

I know what I stuffed in it the first day, know what I had to put in it the next and know that when we got home at 1 o'clock on a Sunday there may have been 5# of ice left. Never said they weren't a decent cooler, said they don't offer much in the way of being better than a lesser priced cooler and said there was one that went through a bunch of ice. Possibly a reject but it didn't work worth a schii.tt.

I’ve been using a yeti for about 10 years. Except for being very heavy, it’s been a great ice chest. I haven’t tried the other better ice chests, so I’ll pass on commenting on them.

I have a smaller RTIC, and I don't like it. Very heavy, and does not hold much.

Many 4-6 day comparisons on youtube.
Yeti has at least been matched, & beaten many times by others that cost less. Period.
All roto mold coolers are heavy, have minimal inside room compared to outside dimensions.
None are magic if opened several times a day, or even every day.

Best luck with a cooler is pre chilling it and the contents of course and 2/3rds ice, 1/3 contents. Doesn’t leave much room for contents. I’d rather take two smaller coolers than one huge one. The experts on coolers are the extended trip River rafters, curious what they use.

I don't thing any other cooler manufacture could even come close to beating Yeti's advertising campaign.
It's like an Apple electronics product for cooler enthusiasts that are brand whores.
