From melted ice and soda cans to sticky sauce from rack of ribs, cooler interiors can quickly become disorganized. A good cooler should have an easy-to-clean interior surface as well as drain plugs with quick drain times for effortless cleanup.

RTIC’s Outfitter cooler is one of the toughest coolers available, boasting IGBC bear-resistant certification and featuring an internal bin to store soft provisions away from ice and can accept dividers to maximize packing efficiency.

Rotomolded

rotomolded coolers offer reliable cold storage. Constructed of polyurethane foam insulation and boasting features like drain plugs and latches that ensure secure closure, they offer maximum food and beverage chilling capabilities.

Rotomolded coolers usually include information in their product descriptions about how long they can hold onto ice for. More expensive models from Yeti may even hold it for several days at a time; however, such models tend to be quite costly.

As you head out for any outdoor activity – from soccer practice to camping trips – having snacks and beverages handy is essential. To be prepared for any outdoor endeavor, rotomolded heavy-duty coolers provide incredible durability; some models even allow towing! They come in various sizes; smaller ones are great for picnic lunches for two, while larger versions can even hold meals for four people!

Injection-molded

No matter if it is for day trips to the beach, car camping with friends or tailgating at your favorite sporting event – having a high-quality cooler makes a significant difference in both comfort and cost. While basic plastic wheeled coolers may suffice for occasional campers who prioritize cost efficiency over insulation; more advanced models with better insulation qualities or lower costs include rotomolded and injection-molded coolers that offer increased insulation levels and less costly prices.

As part of our testing, we sought coolers with comfortable handles and sturdy construction quality. The Yeti Tundra Haul was a stand-out with its padded rope handle that places your hands at an appropriate distance from its body, making it easier to carry when fully loaded. Plus it boasts fun features like a ruler/compass combo molded right onto its body along with bottle openers and tie-down slots; its durable design and thoughtful features make this cooler ideal for camping trips, road trips or simply keeping drinks nearby during soccer games – its large capacity allows it to hold all your food/beverages for multiple days of camping adventures!

Bear-resistant

If you want a cooler that will help protect your food from wildlife, look for one with the IGBA seal of approval. In addition to offering additional bear protection, these coolers come equipped with bear-resistant locks for even further assurance against wildlife invading. Depending on where you are camping, this may also prevent bears or other wildlife from coming near and snacking on it!

If you plan to bring your cooler on rugged terrain, wheeled models are essential. The YETI Roadie model, for instance, was specifically designed to transport heavy loads with its durable construction and its telescoping handle that extends up to 3.5 feet high so you can grab it easily.

Tundra line of roto-molded coolers are certified bear-proof by IGBA and can accommodate enough food for an entire weekend camping trip. Our favorite models are Blue 110 and Xspec; Pelican 65/80 models also make great choices; both feature tough exteriors with sturdy drain plugs for use while out and about.

Two-handled

If you’re planning a camping trip this weekend, the RTIC Ultra-Light wheeled cooler is one of the top choices on the market. Boasting superior insulation and an interior that can store food and beverages for several days at once, as well as exterior storage features to make transport easy, it makes an excellent companion.

The RTIC stands out from other wheeled coolers by being soft-sided, which helps it be lighter overall while still offering enough capacity to carry ice and beverages for two or three people.

RTIC coolers feature an innovative telescoping handle that adjusts to any height that makes pulling more comfortable – an invaluable feature compared to most wheeled coolers with fixed handles that require leaning over for lifting. Xspec’s 45qt Towable also has this convenient feature but comes at slightly greater expense; both models, however, offer superior insulation and long-term useability.
