I have a coleman extreme that is 3 years old. When I typically use it for long durations it is during hunting season when the temps outside are not as hot. I fill my cooler up the day before and get it chilled and then i put in what I need and top it off with ice the next day. Once I get to the lease I put my food in the fridge and leave my beverages in the cooler. It kept ice for the whole trip 7 days. Granted it wasn't hot but warm at times (octocber) and I did keep it in the shade as much as possible and there was plenty of ice to make the trip home probably about 1/5 left. For the money and overall considerations I am very pleased with the coleman extreme for the money and performance. As a matter of fact I had a party here Friday night and my cooler still has about a third of the ice that I started with still in it this morning. I didnt pre chill it either. It has been on my patio where it is shaded until about 5:00 and I drained the water off of it once and left the drain open ovdernight for one night. I would say that is a pretty good cooler.

No, I do not have any relationship to Engel, Yeti or Coleman but it does sound like some of the people on your blog that are praising Yeti do - maybe a salesperson or marketing person from Yeti.
I do have several friends that have shared the same experience with me about the Yeti coolers and how bad they are. They are not durable and are extremely overpriced for what they offer.
Just sharing my experiences and thoughts on this.

I think it woul be fun to set up a top 5 test at bownanza next year. put 'em side by side in the sun... open end close them all at the same time, etc.
Just seems like these threads are always so extreme opinion wise....
Yeti's not durable? Makes no sense... they may not hold ice as well but at least they should score well in durability? Right?
