highquality coolers

The best coolers can keep food and drinks cold for days–without melting away or producing sticky drips. In addition to keeping ice intact for longer, we look for features such as easy drain plug use and few hard-to-scrub areas in a good cooler.

High-end hard-sided models like Yeti’s Tundra provide excellent insulation and bear protection, perfect for beach trips or camping excursions, though these expensive hard sided bags may prove prohibitively costly.

YETI

YETI coolers have long been trusted, and their coolers often outshone other brands in performance. The YETI Tundra Haul, for instance, kept meat at an ideal temperature for eight days with its UV-resistant material that prevented rusting over time and rubber handles that provided grip and comfort.

The YETI Wheeled Roadie is another convenient solution, making ice storage simple. Though not as large, the Roadie boasts rugged “NeverFlat” wheels for optimal ice retention and an adjustable telescopic handle to help make lifting it easy even for taller users.

Though not as large as some other models on our list, this cooler still boasts enough capacity to feed an entire group at a barbecue or concert. Furthermore, its insulated walls and lid provide industry-leading ice retention.

Reviewers tend to praise GOAT for its customer service and authentication process, though some shoppers have complained of inaccurate marketing photos or features not mentioned in product descriptions. Some shoppers also have expressed displeasure with its return policy which requires three days before requesting a shipping label and excludes some final sale products; additionally it does not allow users to filter by price range.
