[QUOTE="HoLeChit, post: 3818613, member: 35036"] With a little technique, you can really get some long term performance out of rotomolded coolers. If you chill the cooler down overnight with some refreezable ice packs or a few ice trays, you can really get them to last. My 65qt RTIC was pre chilled for 24 hours before loading, and had a total of 40lbs of ice out in it over the weekend (last weekend), and 7 days later, the water is still cool in it. 2 days ago I still had a few ice cubes. It spent 4 days in the bed of my truck in the sun, the past 3 in my non climate controlled garage. You can get even better performance with dry ice. I pre chilled my RTIC for a 2 week trip 2 months ago, put 15lbs of dry ice and some frozen meat in it, among other things. It rode in the bed of my truck, full sun. By day two, everything in the cooler was frozen. I didn’t have to worry about temps getting above freezing in that cooler until the 12th or 13th day of the trip. For about $100 less than a comparable Yeti, you can’t beat the RTIC coolers. Or if you wanna go cheaper, the Amazon branded rotomolds are a steal. I bought a 45qt to keep in my boat, and it performs just as well as my RTIC. [/QUOTE]
