Great cooler would highly recommend it to anyone it held ice my whole trip 6 days when it was 108 degrees outside. light weight even when full of stuff.
I was told this cooler keeps ice retention for up to5 days!???? I don’t even get 24 hours of ice retention in mine and it’s indoors! My husband thinks they actually forgot to insulate this one ! Put ice blocks in it and it got a hole on bottom! Wth! Have only used this cooler for 2 months. Terrible pictures show 4-6” deep water because 2 ice blocks completely melted within 20 HOURS
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

My wife bought this for my Father’s Day present. It does fit within the cargo box of my RZR.
I filled it with 40 lbs of ice Wednesday morning. We had it outside the entire time, sometimes in the sun on the beach, sometimes under the sunshade. Temperatures were in the 90s in Texas. Sunday morning, all the ice was gone, however the water was still quite cold. I didn’t measure it, but feels about 34-36 degrees.
Here are some things to note. The tie down locations are on the lid. This makes it less than ideal, as if you use them you have to unstrap the tie downs to open the cooler. Not sure who thought that was a bright idea. I used the handle to strap it into the SXS. Less than ideal, but it did work.
Second, there’s no seal or gasket. This means as I was moving the cooler around, the ice cold water sloshes around and leaks. Not so bad, just a lot of ice cold water pouring out onto my clothes.
For the price the performance was great. it’d have 5 stars if not for those two issues.
I've used this for field work for a year and am so impressed for the price. If you use block ice and keep this out of the sun, you can have ice for 7 days. I just finished a trip in 90 degree heat and made it to Day 7 and had 20% ice left the last night. I use 64oz cranberry juice bottles for ice blocks and a custom cut EVA foam pad above the ice. Remember to cool the cooler down before loading it. If you freeze half your food it will be ready to go by the second half of your trip. No need to spend money on a Yeti. Definitely buy white one, you will trip over the grey one in the dark.
