My relationship with coolers is often a cold one, but it still gives me chills when I go to make another video. 😏

I've watched a few of your videos. As someone has severe OCD when it comes to purchasing anything, your videos have me 🤯. I've been using my igloo for 10yrs but I've been needing to upgrade and that's taking me 2yrs to decide 🤦. We live in AZ, party of 8, and we do lake days A LOT... Very informative. Thank you

Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching and good luck with your next cooler.

Awesome review man, I have had my orca 20 for years now and I work concrete construction and the only problem I have is all my buddies love it so much they have to open all the time to get there Gatorades and that's the only reason my ice don't last more than 4 or 5 days, but I will buy another one before a yeti

@Chevybass62 2 ай бұрын

Another great cooler review. I love coolers, but I don’t have 60 of them!!😂 Really enjoy your content…Cheers!

Thanks! 👍 And outside of trying to do good cooler reviews, I don't see a reason why someone should own so many different coolers.

I very much appreciate that, thank you! I'll see what I can do about a BruMate MagPack 24. Cheers.

Brumate!!! Let's goooo!! Haha!! I can't say enough about brumate products, I love them. I have all the brumate coolers, and I do love them, but the smaller 35qt suffers from the handle being mounted to low, and it drags some. It doesn't bother me much but it needs to be noted for people.

Thanks for sharing!!

@chrisshore9000 8 күн бұрын

I like you video, especially showing me a brumate. I’m going to try really hard to get a brumate cooler tomorrow. The only store I can find that has them in stock, near me is almost 2hrs away north. We drive from Maryland to South Fl Fri and I don’t see a faster shipping way to get here b4 we leave. I’ll try to search if there’s a store in Florida but even Dick’s sells them on line, but it can’t be shipped to their store lol. If they’d let me do that I’d get it when I get there lol.

Can you do a comparison for large party coolers like the igloo party bar.

Interesting idea, I'll look into it. Thanks!

@nsanfacon24 2 ай бұрын

I jut got the larger coho from Costco. Couldn’t find a review from you on it but it has similarities to its smaller sibling and is bear resistant. I’m excited to give it a whirl. Thanks for these reviews!

@outdoorempirecom 2 ай бұрын

There are definitely a few Cohos I haven't tried yet. I have the 55 qt rotomolded that was in the first ice challenge video I did. But if there's a new bigger injection molded one, then I don't have one yet.

@HeCute_ 2 ай бұрын

id like to see what you think of orcas soft coolers. they dont have a zipper, they use latches and still claim to be leakproof. love your videos, bro. edit: orcas wanderer series dont have a zipper

@outdoorempirecom 2 ай бұрын

They do look interesting. I haven't tried one yet but will add it to the wishlist. Thanks for the suggestion!

@delbomb3131 Ай бұрын

Is there anything similar size and quality to the yeti roady 24 that's wheeled? I have an igloo 30 wheeled, but the ice doesn't even make it halfway through the day. I work outside and need to walk a distance so the wheels help a ton

@outdoorempirecom 29 күн бұрын

Good question, not that I know of in that size. I'll keep an eye out.

How have you STILL not added a Siberian Alpha to this test?!?! We've talked about this for like 2 years

@outdoorempirecom Ай бұрын

Yes, I looked into it, but it's a spendy one and I had already used up my budget last summer. Maybe this year?!

@Bigfootz2004 Ай бұрын

Why is the Cabelas not top 3 in your first category? It was in the top 2 in both your tests and is cheaper than all 3 of the options you did select.It's built like a tank, is bear resistant, and has built in handles.

@outdoorempirecom Ай бұрын

Indeed it's a tank and great on ice, but it scored lower in other areas like quality (lots of reports of defects), warranty and customer service, and I don't love some of the design features like the latches and handles. It's right up there near the top anyway, but with 65+ coolers, I had to cut some.

@JoeT-re5ro Ай бұрын

Orions warranty is now five years . They only offered 10 for the ones prior to 2023. I went to their website and read the small print. Lol

@outdoorempirecom Ай бұрын

Super disappointing.

@Burritosarebetterthantacos Ай бұрын

I like Orca but the wheeled cooler looks odd. Maluna offers a mil discount but I need wheels!

@outdoorempirecom Ай бұрын

Check out the Brutank or maybe the Orion with their wheel kit addon. I haven't used it yet, but looks cool.

16:16, is the Yeti Roadie NOT rotomolded?

@BiteYoFace 2 ай бұрын

i believe thats what he said. Was really surprised to hear that

@outdoorempirecom 2 ай бұрын

Correct! I was surprised myself when I finally sorted that out. The YETI Roadie is NOT rotomolded like the YETI Tundras are. The Roadie is injection molded. If you look closely at the marketing you'll notice YETI conveniently leaves that detail out.

@twloughlin 2 ай бұрын

I may be way out in left field here, but isn't it time for a cooler giveaway? I mean, 60+ coolers? Surely you can spare one or two on a giveaway. 😆

@outdoorempirecom 2 ай бұрын

I think you're right. I've been meaning to do that, just haven't worked out the details yet. It will involve our email newsletter subscribers so you might want to sign up if you haven't already. Cheers!

I live in Charleston sc and am looking for a nice cooler for the truck bed that I don’t have to put ice in all the time. Working construction so need a good size for drinks and stuff. Any suggestions What’s the weather like where you test these?nvm about the weather you explained that pretty well. A lot hotter and humid down where I am hahaha 😂

@outdoorempirecom Ай бұрын

Ya you're definitely hotter and more humid than where I am. For a truck bed, I'd look at one of those injection molded options. That plastic tends to hold up a little better in the heat and direct sunlight. Something like that RTIC Ultralight (without wheels is better for ice) or there's a new Engel Ultralight that's pretty good. Or for a cheaper option, a Coleman 316 series (Marine if you can find one).
