I have a Coleman Extreme. I've noticed that it holds ice much better than the larger Igloo that Costco sells for $100. Its obvious that the Coleman has thicker walls than the Igloo. Wondering if the RTIC would be a step up in ice retention over the Coleman :dunno:I would say it's 2 steps ahead. :twocents:

Wouldn't that just be the worst thing, companies that manufacture overseas using communist labor would have to actually compete with good old American companies who support local economies.

The roto molded coolers are for sure stronger then the Coleman but there have been numerous tests that show the coleman retaining ice just as well as many of roto coolers. Of course the yeti usually is at the bottom of the list of all of them. i

Looks like yeti is no better than the igloo :yike:, I have a Coleman and igloo. Never bought ice once after initial fill October 12, got home on October 25. The cooler with my meat still had at least half of the block left on all them 5 count Coleman extreme. My igloo had three blocks about half of the block left, plus it held my crushed ice, three bags all lasted long enough I didn't have to buy more of them either.

I think one of the problems with some of these YouBoob tests is that they aren't always done right. a cooler is an insulator before its a cooler. My garage is still 100*+ in September and October, and if I pull out both a heavy duty cooler and the thin, cheap Igloo then the ice will melt quicker in the heavy duty one if I don't bring the in the house a few days before the hunt and toss in some frozen stuffs from the upright freezer to properly prechill the coolers.

How are your guys' coolers breaking? I guess I've been kinda lucky. I had the drain plug on my Coleman Extreme start leaking a few years ago and the hinges wore off, but that was after almost ten years of use. and no I didn't strip the drain plug like this idiot here (http://hunting-washington.com/smf/index.php/topic,207623.0.html)! :chuckle:
I've been more concerned about the fact that I store them in the garage year over here when summer temps hit 110+ where I live. This is my first 'nice' cooler and I may find a home for it inside the house. Does the extreme garage heat break down the insulation inside? :dunno:

On my regular coolers the handles, latches and hinges break. The one that I am using now is a Coleman 10 day ice cooler. Hinges and latch broke in the first year. I went online and bought the upgrade stainless steel hinges and latch. They are awesome but the screws that hold them in are now stripped out.This. Plus, the wall on my 100 quart Coleman separated when I was dragging it a few feet last summer. Which pretty much ruined the insulation.

I just called them and they said likely through Superbowl weekend but not guranteed. They aren't currently backlogged with orders and shipping so why wait? That's the lowest price on a heavy duty cooler fit for a deer in history!Thanks. I don't really need another performance cooler ( have 2 ). Was just curious if I could put off buying another for a couple weeks while I finish building another AR :chuckle:.

I filled mine up with about two bags worth of chipped ice last night and we'll see how long it lasts. I live in the desert of the Southwest U.S. so its about 60-70 in my garage during the day.
Post by: Boss .300 winmag on January 30, 2017, 10:03:12 PM
Mine came today as well, no problem with the manufacturing but UPS sure beat the heck out of the box in shipping resulting in some scratches on the lid and side. Anyone have similar expierences with shipping and anything that can be done about it?
That's just pre tailgating/hunting street cred scratches. ;)
Post by: b23 on January 31, 2017, 12:10:31 AM
got mine today, looks good to me can't wait to put it to the test
:yeah:
Like many, got both of mine today. Looked them both over pretty good and could find no problems of any kind. I thought the fit and finish was as good as any other high end cooler I've looked at so now all I need to do is put it to the test.
Thanks again to the OP for posting about this sale and the best part, now I have two great coolers for about half of what my sister paid for her YETI. :chuckle:

Hard to complain for the money but mine looks like it was a scratch and dent. Gasket seems to seal so I'm keeping it and telling my friends it's been bear tested!Take pics and send it too them. They might just send you a new one.

I then bought a 45 and used it a couple of weeks ago bird hunting. I didn't use any ice, put my adult beverages in it, bottled water, meat and cheese. When I got there Friday at noon it was 6 degrees. It never got over 9 degrees the entire weekend and with lows of -2, my beverages or other items didnt freeze which suprised me. The cooler was in the back of my truck which has a canopy on it.
I have had no problems and very happen with them myself. They did arrive with the boxes beat to crap from UPS though. I figured it can't be worse than what I will be doing to them over time! They are worth the money to me :twocents:

I held out for a long time, but I just broke down and ordered the 45, a 20 softside, and the baskets for the 45 and the 65 I got for Christmas. Should be coolered up for anything I need to do for a while. I may have to live in them for a while when the wife finds out though. :yike:I'm giving mine to the wife for her birthday.

Magically, they are back in stock a day after the sale. Almost kuiu like with inventory showing up after the sale. My guess is inventory was always there, they just hit their budget on the promotion.
Is it their newly designed latch equipped coolers that are back in stock?

Its all fun and games till the company you work for ships your job overseas because they want to increase their bottom line by going with cheap communist labor.
maybe if the American wasn't 2-3x the cost I'd consider it, but its not

Hopefully, our President will create an atmosphere which is friendly to business instead of one which penalizes people for their success. As it is, individuals and companies must take advantage of the savings afforded by buying imported goods. It's not fiscally possible for people to operate in the black purchasing only American-made goods while their competitors don't.
