I got an Igloo STX cooler at a wounded warrior hunt a while back and I can say I'm thoroughly impressed. That's going to be my go to cooler from now on when I buy new coolers.
I'd suggest checking out Orca as well if a high end cooler is in your price range. Did a whole bunch of research on Yeti vs other brands and my understanding is that Yeti broke into the market with the same technology then that they are still using today. My Orca is 140qt BEAST. Way overkill and pretty heavy at 40lbs empty but man will it retain ice. Highly suggest Orca if ice retention is the priority.
hey Oak, I have the Cabelas brand 65 quart cooler and it has a pressure release valve/button to combat this problem. Its wider than the yeti, with the molded in handles, and heavy as s*&% but man does it keep stuff frozen forever. it's really impressive.

I was looking at them at Bass Pro the other day. I know they get the best ratings and seem bomb proof but I have to say the handle thing really does bother me. What were they thinking?

I'd get a Rtic before I would get a Yetti, same dang thing just half the price

This is what I use. Keeps ice frozen for at least 6 days. Never wished for anything better.

I've got 2 cabelas coolers. Both purchased with point so kinda free. If you prechill I've put block ice in there and then pulled it out 14days later after an unsuccessful hunt with only 15% melt. I keep my ice blocks in the deep freeze at -20. I've not only cooled elk down but partially froze it on the way home.

Hmmmm?? All very interesting.....
Coolers seem to be getting like outdoor hunting boots. Lots of choices and certainly experiences and situations that warrant one very heavily over the other amongst them all.
My wife and I used Colemans for years. We then went to a Yeti and wouldn't have anything else. We now have three different sizes to fit our needs for the trips and things we are doing. I have had original ice, albeit supplemented some though the time frames used, last for three weeks straight in the early fall. For us... they have worked great for meat storage while out on a trip and hunt.
For me personally when I read the word "Coleman" backwards it comes back as "Worthless". But just my experience.
As a few have mentioned above and I have learned more with the use of these Coolers.... There are a number of "little tricks" and things to do while you are using them to optimize their capabilities. As everyone well knows.

But you won't see a jacked up F250 with a Igloo decal next to the Keep Hammering decal.
Seems like. Someone gets their first premium boot (or cooler) and it is the best ever made....period.

Strangely enough, not one "super cooler" company's marketing program has been able to make me believe any cooler is worth a car payment.
