New Igloo Cooler

[hightech]

Agreed, I have 5 yeti coolers and would buy them again.
120, two 65, a 50 and a 20

My first was the 120. picked up a pig I had processed in Taylor.
From there went to Willow City to pick up 3 deer.
Between the two stops I filled the 120 yeti and two 100 Igloo.
It was all wrapped and frozen, no ice..

Headed to the lease in Paint Rock from there with all three in the bed of the truck and back to the metro mess the next afternoon. 36 hours by the time I made it home to the freezer.

What sold me was when I opened the yeti everything was still frozen solid just as when I packed them.
The meat in the igloos did not fare as well. Frost had melted and paper was wet. Had to rewrap over half of the pork.
It was mid June and the high was around 90.

From there on I started adding to the collection each year.
Not for everyone but perfect for me..

Long lease trips, used the 120 to hold ice for when I needed it.
Both 65 for quartered deer,a 50 for beer and the 20 for the back of the mule.

I do know you can run over the roadie with a mule and not break a single beer bottle.

I bought a yeti cause I had the money and wanted one. Never regreted it. I've had several buddies call to borrow my overpriced cooler. I always respectfully decline.

Poor guy cooler club here too. But I get the best of both worlds. I won a 65qt yeti in a raffle and I get to rock the hat and window sticker for life now.
But honestly I think all of the high end coolers are somewhat comparable with yeti being the original. For the guys that use them for their intended purposes they are definitely a necessity ie. fishermen who are out all day in the summer and people that hunt and camp for a week at a time. I personally just use mine as a beer cooler for the most part and it comes in handy at bbq cookoffs. As for the igloo it looks like it would be comparable to the others. I'll never understand all of the argueing over something as stupid as a cooler. If you want one then buy one and if you don't want one then why do you even click on the thread?

IRP (Now Grizzly) was the original.

Just to stir up the Yeti folks a little more.

Yeti has a retail store in Austin.
I picked up my 50 there out of their seconds for around 30% off I think.
Looked over it the only thing I found was a 2 inch scratch on the back.
The seconds also have a big red X on the bottom along with not for resale.

I wonder how long it takes 2,010 lbs of Ice to melt?

Depends on who you ask. Some will say it will net you 4,020 lbs of ice.

In a yeti... Never. In a igloo from Wally World. 15 mins

I mean that's a ton of ice...surely it would last five days
