Xspec’s rotomolded cooler provides exceptional durability and extra features at a price which undercuts most other premium designs such as Yeti Roadie and Pelican 20QT Elite coolers. Furthermore, this unit excels with regards to robust feel and multiple mounting locations for accessories.
Yeti
Yeti coolers are known for being durable and excellent ice retention; yeti has also earned its place as bear-resistant coolers – perfect for outdoor lovers who spend much time outside! However, these premium coolers can be expensive. However, you’re getting your money’s worth.
Rotomolded construction makes them extremely durable, featuring heavy-duty rubber lid latches with hinge systems to prevent overextension and AnchorPoint tie-down slots that enable secure placement on boats or vehicles.
The Tundra Hauler is an impressive wheeled machine capable of holding an impressive amount of food and drinks, thanks to its integrated dry bin and perfectly-sized wire basket for dry goods. In our tests, its insulation was the best – keeping contents cold for four days or more before needing draining out of its drain spout – with an incredible warranty offered with every purchase.
Orca
Orca coolers are made in the USA using high-grade materials and construction. Their durable roto-molded construction and insulation makes it tough enough to withstand tough environments, with its lid gasket sealing keeping in cold and ice, drain spout draining away excess ice, and cargo net attachment for additional storage options.
The orca whale, commonly referred to as the killer whale, is an enormous member of the dolphin family that can be found worldwide. Recognizable by their black-and-white patterned bodies with distinctive saddle patches and dorsal fins.
Orcas are generalist predators, feeding on various types of fish, marine mammals (including seals and sea lions ), seabirds, and aquatic invertebrates such as shellfish. Orcas communicate through clicks, whistles, pulsed calls, squeaks and clicks within their families; using echolocation clicks to locate prey using echolocation clicks for navigation or predation purposes. Pollution, boat traffic and climate change pose the biggest threats to these whales’ existence.
