brute 20 qt?

[Trap-Daddy]

im sticking with yeti's as well

If it doesnt keep ice for 5 days like it should, whats the point in spending $90? You can buy a cheap igloo for way less.

I wonder how long it would hold ice sitting in my hot truck all day. I want a small cooler to ride on my back seat so when I'm done riding I have a cold drink. The cooler I have doesnt do its job.

That is my issue. I'm wanting one that will hold ice for 2 days inside my truck. I figured that if it could that, I'd get one of the larger ones based on the results. Does that make sense?

Got a brute like this on sale. Glad I didn't pay full price.

Thats what I want. I go on a lot of trail rides and the only way I have cold water when I get back is if it was frozen when I leave and all my ice is melted.

No small cooler will keep ice for 5 days... Especially if your in and out. However I have to agree with what someone else said, if it's just for a day trip why not use a $15 igloo. I actually use a bag cooler for day trips of in and out getting beer.

I'm personally a yeti fan but I'm sure Brute is comparable in some way... They both cost too much in my opinion but hey, why not! I lived out of my yeti for 2-3 weeks when I didn't have a fridge in new house....

To me it look like you can just but two thing of Water in no more room wend you add the ICE to it

dont base your decision of getting a bigger one on the reuslts of the smaller one. from just lloking at the pictures, the bigger(55,90,155) are built more study and thicker than the smaller 20qt.

i love my 90qt and held ice for 5 days....back when the lid didnt close completely, gasket didnt seal, i called jeremy up when i saw it didnt seal and he had a replacement over the next day. i cant wait to fill it up again and see what the differnce is.

yeti may make a better 20qt, but $199 is still way pricey.


anyone know how long the yeti 20 keeps ice for?

I agree no small cooler is going to last long. If you want your drinks to be cold after a day ride set your cooler in the back of your truck. Inside the cab is going to be 20-30 degrees hotter.

[bows08]

Out of curiosity, how many cans of soda will fit in either one of these 20's?

I've had coolers stolen out of the back of my truck while on a ride so I don't leave anything back there now.

The one I have now doesnt hold ice even in the back of my truck sitting in the shade but I found it on the side of the road so I can't complain

i put cable straps to replace the nylon rope handles on my 90qt so i could lock it ot the truck.

[BrandonA]

Yetis are easy to lock. Not saying it still can't get stoled but they would have to work at it.

[Bilbo]

I'll be getting a Roadie here soon. I do however love my Coleman Extremes.

I could do that. I've been hoping someone would steal the cooler I have back there now so I'll have an excuse to go buy a new one. I guess everyone knows what a piece of crap it is so no one wants to steal it

If i get a yeti I should disguise it as a piece of crap cooler so no one will try to steal it.
