best cooler?

[regularjoe]

I am looking for comments/opinions in regards to coolers based on your experiences. I am looking at purchasing a couple of 100+ quart coolers and would like to know which have kept ice the best and hold up well. I am leaning towards the Coleman "marine" line.

I've got Coleman Marine coolers.
But they won't hold a candle to the Yeti's!

I've had really good results with 100 qt coleman extreme. I know it won't keep out a grizzly like the Yeti but it'll hold ice for a solid 5 days as advertized and it holds ice better than other cheap coolers I have owned.

Whatever you get, don't use them as a chair. Sitting on an ice chest will warp the lid over time and mess up the seal. When the seal is shot, all you have is a large storage tub!

Brand don't matter.
Just kiddin.
The best I have found are the Coleman metal sided.
Work great for me and I sit on them with no problems.

Yeti is the premier cooler. They are way spendy, too heavy and have too many sharp corners.......but you will never have to buy a replacement and you CAN set your packmule on them.
