And this one.

I have about 6-7 50 qt coolers from different companies and testing them out early next month.

 

+1 on the orca. She's a rugged one. Pre chill for 2 days and I barely have a paper towels worth of water from 4 bags

 

Love my Orca 40 quart! Took it out in the Nevada heat last summer full of ice and 5 days later there was still some ice floating around even with opening it multiple times everyday. I'm sure if I put cold water bottles in to begin with, it would have lasted even longer I'm probably going to pick up their 20 quart soon.

Here’s a review I’m workin on.

 

Has anyone used the Artic cups/tumblers that can compare to the Yeti and others? I’ll be picking one up tomorrow and checking it out against my wife’s Yeti cup.

 

I have. I like the RTIC cups a lot.

 

Rtic? If so yes I have the tumbler. It’s ok. Drop it and lids break. Also there isn’t a non slip surface on bottom so it slides. Other that it’s great.

 

Good to know. I didn’t notice the lack of nonskid when I fondled one a while back.

 

Also, mine is a few years old. They might have changed.

 

Siberian makes my favorite cup

 

Orca, I have the 140qt and it's awesome. I have the Ozark 73 also which works well also.

 

here’s day 7 if anyone is interested.

Canyon Coolers.

Based in Flagstaff, AZ

Excellant cooler with a LIFETIME warrenty

 

Yup. They rock.

Let's be real, if there's anything that us folks in az are serious about, it's coolers. I've got a scout 22 and outfitter 35. love them. rugged, super performance, and quite inexpensive!

 

Couldn't agree more. I've got a outfitter 75 and its the best cooler i've ever owned

 

I love canyon coolers. Hold ice well. I have a few as well. I have their backpack soft sided cooler and goes with me to kids soccer games.

 

Ive been using my Ozark trail for about a year now and it still works just as good as it did when I first bought it. Saving money and getting something just as good if not better Than a yeti is my ideal of a good deal. I think it's ridiculous to spend money just for a name on something.

 

I chipped my lid yesterday and the new ones still don’t not have any sort of nonskid. But I think I prefer it that way. My previous, still in use, coffee cup for work is a Bubba Keg. It’s taken a beating and has held together nicely. The big thing is that I can put in my 2 spoons of sugar and top it off with coffee then shake it up instead of stirring. Then put it in my back pocket when I need two hands and not worry about it spilling all over my coveralls and burning me. So the Bubba Keg has resumed its work duty and the Rtic cup is now for other non mobile occasions.

 

Oh, my Bubba keg will be 8 years old in a couple of months.
