tailgating, or keeping as a backup cooler in your garage in case your power suddenly goes out.</p><p><strong>It’s lightweight but sturdy.</strong> The Ultra-Light Cooler compares in strength to roto-molded coolers (roto-molding creates evenly distributed plastic parts through a heated rotating mold), such as ones from Yeti, but at 21 pounds, it’s significantly lighter. This is because, despite looking like a roto-molded cooler, the Ultra-Light series is injection-molded, which uses less plastic and results in a lighter cooler.</p><p><strong>It’s easy to move.</strong> It’s lighter than any of the other comparably sized hard coolers we tested and the easiest to move around. The Ultra-Light Cooler has two nylon ropes slotted through plastic handles that are easy enough to use. It also has a small area to insert your hand for lifting, but it’s less comfortable to carry that way.</p><div class="f669362e"><div class="ce43b2db fb2675ba" data-testid="gallery-wrapper"><article

They’re good if you prefer a little extra organization while packing your cooler.</p><p><strong>It cuts price, but not details.</strong> RTIC coolers—both the ultralight and rotomolded variety—are somewhat notorious for being <a href="#other-good-coolers">two-thirds of the price</a> of Yeti coolers without sacrificing performance. Yeti can (and does) charge a premium for its name. But cutting the price doesn’t necessarily mean that RTIC cut any corners. The latches on the Ultra-Light Cooler are made from a stiff rubber and seal down the gasket of the lid with the telltale exhalation of air from a full seal. However, over time I wouldn’t expect this seal to remain watertight—it’s just not built to that high a specification. The Ultra-Light Cooler has two drain ports with cap stays made of wire.</p><h3>Flaws but not dealbreakers</h3><ul><li>The <a href="https://rticoutdoors.com/warranty" rel="noopener" target="_blank">three-year warranty</a> on this cooler seems a bit chintzy. Used correctly, the Ultra-Light Cooler should last a lot longer than that (and ours already has). We’d love to see a company warranty that extends deeper into the life of the gear.</li><li>The biggest complaint we’ve seen online is that people feel the latch handles aren’t secure enough. I haven’t had an issue with it and, for day-to-day life, it shouldn’t be a problem. Strapped to the back of an ATV? Yeah—maybe I’d start to worry.</li><li>It’s tough, but not bear-tough. Despite borrowing the looks of a roto-molded cooler, the Ultra-Light Cooler is injection-molded, which means it’s just not as heavy and durable as those roto-molded coolers. You can stand on it, but I wouldn’t fish from it for hours on end. And they are not grizzly-certified.</li></ul><h3>Specs</h3><p><strong>Exterior dimensions:</strong> 27.25 by 17.25 by 17 inches (WDH)<br/><strong>Interior dimensions:</strong> 21.25 by 12 by 12 inches

Those coolers are big. They’re heavy. They carry less than other, same-size coolers because of the amount of insulation they’re packed with. In short, they’re impractical for most mundane needs—a fact that has stopped absolutely no one from buying them in record numbers. That said, the Outfitter cooler stood out during our testing for its excellent insulation and sleek construction: It’s just as tough as any of its competitors and, with 2.7 inches of insulation, it keeps ice from melting for as long as any cooler we tested. And unlike its RTIC or Yeti competitors, it’s protected by a lifelong <a href="https://canyoncoolers.com/pages/the-lifetime-warranty" rel="noopener" target="_blank">warranty</a>.</p><p><strong>It’s nearly indestructible.</strong> To be fair, we could say this about most any roto-molded cooler with bear-resistant certification. But the Outfitter is tough in an already tough field. It weighs 26 pounds with a hinge molded into the frame. The Outfitter’s trick is its minimal exterior, which leaves very little purchase or edge to catch on if the cooler takes a fall. It feels and carries like a well-packed brick, which makes sense given its IGBC (Interagency Grizzly Bear Committee) bear-resistant certification. As with all such certified coolers, you do need to add a bolt or padlock.</p><div class="f669362e"><div class="ce43b2db fb2675ba" data-testid="gallery-wrapper"><article class="d63cac99"

ultimately choose a pick within. All high-end roto-molded coolers are increasingly coalescing into a single position, with similar price, performance, and construction. The three that currently rise to the top are from <a href="#best-hard-cooler-rtic-52-qt-ultra-light-cooler">RTIC</a>, Canyon, and <a href="#other-good-coolers">Yeti</a>. RTIC’s coolers are always the least expensive, but they aren’t certified as bear-resistant. Yeti has all the name recognition, a consistent track record, and bear-resistant certification. But in our comparisons, The Outfitter cooler is a touch cheaper per quart of space and has slightly more insulation than either the RTIC or Yeti coolers. It’s bear-resistant-certified and has the best warranty of the three brands. Plus, certain small details in the Outfitter’s shape and design make it ideal for rigging to outdoor vehicles like ATVs and rafts.</p><p><strong>What about the Pro model?</strong> Canyon Coolers makes a similar model to our pick called the <a class="product-link" href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/61888/203288/4/185828/?merchant=Amazon" rel="noopener sponsored" target="_blank" data-gtm-trigger="product_link" data-store="Amazon" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/61888/203288/4/185828/?merchant=Amazon" data-vars-store="Amazon" data-gtm-context="chapter_best-cooler-for-long-tough-camping-trips-canyon-coolers-outfitter-55-quart-cooler" data-gtm-element="product_link_impression" data-link-type="link" data-merchant="Amazon" data-pid="61888" data-url="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/61888/203288/4/185828/?merchant=Amazon">Pro 65 Quart Cooler</a>. It’s mostly the same cooler but larger and beefed up with oversize latches, insulated drainage, heavier insulation, and small modifications to the body to make it easier to stow cam latches when securing down the cooler. These upgrades would seem to exceed the needs of most people, but you may prefer the extra performance.</p><h3>Flaws but not dealbreakers</h3><ul><li>We’ve only started to recommend the Outfitter cooler in 2024, and so far we haven’t found any flaws.

It has taken us a few years to recommend a wheeled cooler simply because none have seemed built to last longer than a season or two—especially in the handle. Once loaded with ice, drinks, and food, a 37-pound cooler can more than double in weight. When someone then tilts the cooler up, all that weight goes into the wheelbase or leans into the handle hinge. The arm of the Tundra Haul is made from a thick-gauge welded aluminum, the quality of which you can feel immediately when you lift it.</p><p><strong>It has tough wheels.</strong> The wheels are a single-construction plastic and not hollow or feeble-feeling as on so many other coolers. Remarkably, when we lifted this cooler—fully loaded with cans, food, and many pounds of ice—by the handle, the experience didn’t feel that different from wheeling around a high-end piece of luggage.</p><p><strong>It’s built to last and bear-resistant.</strong> This cooler, like everything in the Tundra collection, is certified bear-resistant by the IGBC.</p><h3>Flaws but not dealbreakers</h3><ul><li>We’d like to see more internal division (or at least the ability to add a divider). Once you tip your cooler up at an angle, you should expect the contents to shift around a bit, and it would be nice to have more control over that situation as you shuffle and roll your cooler across, say, a boardwalk or a pool deck.</li><li>The warranty is for only five years<strong>.</strong> For a company charging a premium price for its coolers, which are built to last a long time, we’d expect a longer <a href="https://www.yeti.com/warranty-information.html" rel="noopener" target="_blank">warranty</a> protecting its gear.</li></ul><h3>Specs</h3><p><strong>Exterior dimensions:</strong> 28.1

After seven years of testing and considering several dozen soft coolers, we’ve come to the conclusion that—given enough time—many will wear out. And the soft coolers—such as this one—that truly are better in quality cost nearly as much as, if not a lot more than, a hard cooler. But you shouldn’t leave the Soft Pack Cooler out in the sun or resting on very hot surfaces like the back of a pickup truck or on top of a picnic table for a long time. If you want to do that, you need one of our hard cooler picks.</li></ul><h3>Specs</h3><p><strong>Dimensions:</strong> 13.75 by 9.5 by 13.5 inches (WDH)<br/><strong>Weight:</strong> 3

Everything from the TPU-laminated nylon, which makes it waterproof and tough as nails, to the <a href="https://www.stitchbackgear.com/articles/2019/12/19/the-bar-tack-stitch" rel="noopener" target="_blank">bar tack stitching</a> (that is, zigzag stitching reinforcing the shoulder straps, which increases the bag’s integrity under weight) is designed to ensure that this bag will last for years through some of the toughest conditions you’ll encounter. Of course, the interior is insulated by closed-cell foam and secured with a magnetic roll-top lid. It’s not as tough as our hard cooler picks, but it’s the toughest soft cooler we’ve tried.</p><p><strong>It’s easy to carry.</strong> After using and testing 15 backpack coolers over the past seven years, we’ve found that the extra attention to detail becomes increasingly important the more straps and layers a soft cooler has. Fully loaded—with 22 pounds of ice or 36 cans—the Hopper backpack cooler is still remarkably easy to carry. The waterproofing both within and without protects your body from any leaks or moisture sweating through from your load of ice.</p><p><strong>It retains ice for a day.</strong> Over the years, we’ve tested the Hopper backpack in a variety of climates. While the bag can occasionally keep things cold for more than a day, this depends on how it’s packed and where it’s stored. On average, I’m comfortable assuming that the Hopper will keep whatever I’ve packed cold for a solid day regardless of the situation.</p><h3>Flaws but not dealbreakers</h3><p>Strong magnets tend to snap closed. Yeti introduced a magnetic closure in 2022, which offered a huge improvement on the former zipper closure but also introduced its own complications. The bag is now significantly easier to open but also more difficult to keep open. Yeti seems to have added some bridging support to help hold the bag open, but those magnets simply want to be together.</p><p>Note: These magnets were the reason that Yeti <a href="https://www.cpsc.gov/Recalls/2023/YETI-Recalls-1-9-Million-Soft-Coolers-and-Gear-Cases-Due-to-Magnet-Ingestion-Hazard" rel="noopener" target="_blank">voluntarily recalled</a> this bag in 2023. The liner containing them was reported to fail on many occasions, releasing the magnets and creating a serious hazard for anyone who might swallow them. Yeti has since updated the design, securing the magnets more firmly.</p><h3>Specs</h3><p><strong>Dimensions:</strong> 15.3 by 9.9 by 18 inches (WDH)<br/><strong>Weight:</strong> 6.6

The Recool lives up to the hype: It’s as effective as a polystyrene cooler, you can reuse it a few times, and it composts easily. The Recool’s wood-pulp material (similar to papier-mâché), bound with a <a href="https://hubbepaperchem.cnr.ncsu.edu/additives-and-ingredients/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">biodegradable wax</a> called alkyl ketene dimer, doesn’t dissolve when wet.</p><p><strong>It stacks up to the polystyrene alternative.</strong> <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/blog/wood-pulp-disposable-cooler/">We tested the Recool and a number of cheap, comparably sized foam competitors</a>, filling them up with ice (both types held roughly 16 quarts) and then waiting, measuring the accumulated meltwater over time. The Recool promises to keep ice frozen for up to 12 hours, but we found in our testing that the cold lasts for more like six or eight hours, depending on how much food or drink you have in there—a result similar to what we saw in our testing of polystyrene equivalents. As for the testing units themselves, well, they’ve disappeared now. More dirt for my garden.</p><h3>Flaws but not dealbreakers</h3><ul><li>We don’t recommend getting any disposable cooler if you can buy a halfway decent hard cooler or soft cooler (such as any of the models we recommend above). A hard cooler like our top pick, for example, can keep ice frozen for a full week. Of course, the comparison isn’t quite fair. But even our soft cooler picks provide almost double the insulation time of the Recool.</li></ul><h3>Specs</h3><p><strong>Dimensions:</strong> 15 by 11 by 11.38 inches (WDH)<br/><strong>Weight:</strong> 1.5 pounds<br/><strong>Capacity:</strong> 16 quarts</p></div></section><section class="b6d81848 d47f7b03" id="how-we-picked-and-tested"><h2 class="e823fba7" aria-controls="how-we-picked-and-tested-panel" aria-selected="true" tabindex="0" data-gtm-element="chapter_heading" data-gtm-trigger="single_chapter" data-chapter-name="How we picked and tested" data-expand-close="close" data-chapter-index="8">How we picked and tested</h2><div id="how-we-picked-and-tested-panel" class="fa265be5" aria-labelledby="how-we-picked-and-tested" aria-hidden="false"><p>After nearly a decade testing coolers, I can say one thing for certain. Ice melt tests are overrated. At this point, every YouTube reviewer we’ve seen (many of whom do excellent work) has done ice measure tests on every conceivable cooler, and the results are so far, after some analysis and comparison, unsurprising. The coolers with the most insulation tend to keep ice frozen the longest. Arguing over a few hours difference of ice melt between high-end coolers after several days of testing is just not that interesting or informative.</p><p>For all coolers we tested, here are the criteria we used:</p><p><strong>Insulation:</strong> Different types of insulation work in their own ways to minimize heat transfer into a cooler. Open- and closed-cell foams act as insulators to reduce heat conduction, while fabrics and liners, such as coated polyurethane and reflective Mylar, create a radiant barrier that reduces and reflects heat radiation.</p><p>Closed-cell foam is considered a better insulator than open-cell foam because the tiny bubbles of gas in closed-cell foam remain independent from one another. Air bubbles that do not share cell walls and in effect stay insulated from one another are better at reducing the overall transfer of heat through the foam. In contrast, open-cell foam is permeable to air and water like a sponge (which is why it frequently appears in foam pillows, as it’s squishier and it breathes).</p><p>Every cooler maker (especially soft cooler manufacturers) wants to claim that it uses closed-cell foam in its coolers, but after hours of research, we’ve found a lot of gray area between what is advertised as closed-cell foam and what actually is closed-cell foam. Generally, the more expensive the cooler, the better it insulates, the better the foam.</p><div class="f669362e"><figure id="attachment_259881" class="caption alignnone"><div class="ec5f8867 global_chapter__arp_image b71ff2c5"><img loading="lazy" alt="Close-up of open-cell foam used in coolers." src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/06/cooler-2048px-8394.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=320" data-src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/06/cooler-2048px-8394.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024" data-srcset="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/06/cooler-2048px-8394.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024 1024w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/06/cooler-2048px-8394.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024&dpr=1.5 1536w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/06/cooler-2048px-8394.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024&dpr=2 2048w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/06/cooler-2048px-8394.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=980 980w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/06/cooler-2048px-8394.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=980&dpr=1.5 1470w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/06/cooler-2048px-8394.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=980&dpr=2 1960w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/06/cooler-2048px-8394.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=768 768w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/06/cooler-2048px-8394.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=768&dpr=1.5 1152w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/06/cooler-2048px-8394.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=768&dpr=2 1536w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/06/cooler-2048px-8394.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=480 480w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/06/cooler-2048px-8394.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=480&dpr=1.5 720w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/06/cooler-2048px-8394.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=480&dpr=2 960w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/06/cooler-2048px-8394.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=320 320w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/06/cooler-2048px-8394.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=320&dpr=1.5 480w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/06/cooler-2048px-8394.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=320&dpr=2 640w" width="2048" height="1364" class="cf3feb4c c882c9ce size-full wp-image-259881"/></div><figcaption class="caption-text"> Open-cell foam, pictured here, is softer than closed-cell foam and less efficient as an insulator. <span class="caption-text caption-credit">Photo: Caleigh Waldman</span></figcaption></figure></div><p><strong>Construction:</strong> We looked closely at how every cooler is built. The design of the hard coolers—how they fit into tight spaces, the durability of the walls and lid—is a mark of how they perform in tough environments. For soft coolers, we considered the stitching and welds, while paying close attention to the overall durability of the soft materials chosen for each bag.</p><p><strong>Hardware and fabric:</strong> We considered the external hardware, the shoulder straps, the buckles, the zippers, and the fabric, all of which had to make the cooler comfortable to carry and sturdy enough to survive regular use in a boat, on an ATV, or sliding around in the trunk of a car. For backpack coolers, we also specifically looked for reports of how comfortable (or uncomfortable) they were to wear, and we took into account our own experience as well.</p><p><strong>Cost:</strong> This is always a consideration, of course. The baseline price of good coolers has increased over the years. Thankfully, the performance of these coolers has also increased (while at least somewhat matching the price increase). Where possible, we tried to find the best balance of performance, cost, and warranty.</p><p>Over the years, as we’ve published and updated this guide and related articles, we’ve stuck by two testing methods: measuring meltwater over time to illustrate the relative performance of insulation between coolers, and measuring temperature change over time to determine the total length of time that ice stays preserved in a cooler. This year we began a meta-analysis of online reviews to look for trends and compare the average findings with our own results.</p><div><div class="ff31b4af" data-ad-element="outer_ad_container" data-scp="removed"><div class="e5d43c70"><p class="cca4d3b6">Advertisement</p><a href="#after-dfp-ad-chapter-mid-6" class="css-777zgl">SKIP ADVERTISEMENT</a><div class="ad dfp-ad-chapter-mid-6-wrapper css-rfqw0c" id="dfp-ad-chapter-mid-6"></div><div id="after-dfp-ad-chapter-mid-6"></div></div></div></div></div></section><section class="b6d81848 d47f7b03" id="what-size-cooler-do-you-need"><h2 class="e823fba7" aria-controls="what-size-cooler-do-you-need-panel" aria-selected="true" tabindex="0" data-gtm-element="chapter_heading" data-gtm-trigger="single_chapter" data-chapter-name="What size cooler do you need?" data-expand-close="close" data-chapter-index="9">What size cooler do you need?</h2><div id="what-size-cooler-do-you-need-panel" class="fa265be5" aria-labelledby="what-size-cooler-do-you-need" aria-hidden="false"><p>Everybody has different needs, and we couldn’t test every single size of cooler available. Instead, we decided to focus on the most utilitarian and family-friendly sizes we could find. (The exception is backpack coolers, which often come in only one size.)</p><p>Among hard coolers, if you’re using your cooler for something like grocery shopping, small weekend gatherings, or barbecues, 50 to 55 quarts is plenty. It’s the standard size we now recommend for most families.</p><p>Larger coolers work best for specialized situations. If you’re a boater, as <a href="https://theboatgalley.com/cooler-food-storage/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Carolyn Shearlock of The Boat Galley wrote</a>, a “65- or 70-quart cooler is about the minimum size needed to have enough ice and space for food” for a weeklong trip for two. Again, the right size for you depends on how you pack your cooler and how long you need to keep things cold (more ice takes up more volume). Another example came up last year during a power outage, when one of our staff members was able to move most of the contents of a fridge into a 70-quart cooler, along with the necessary ice to keep it cold.</p><p>For soft coolers, we recommend anything in the 20- to 24-can range. That’s enough to hold plenty of ice, drinks, and food for a family of three. Anything smaller, and you end up carrying a lot of bag and not much of anything else. The smaller sizes just don’t have enough room to be functional for anything except an individual lunch or a few drinks.</p></div></section><section class="b6d81848 d47f7b03" id="other-good-coolers"><h2 class="e823fba7" aria-controls="other-good-coolers-panel" aria-selected="true" tabindex="0" data-gtm-element="chapter_heading" data-gtm-trigger="single_chapter" data-chapter-name="Other good coolers" data-expand-close="close" data-chapter-index="10">Other good coolers</h2><div id="other-good-coolers-panel" class="fa265be5" aria-labelledby="other-good-coolers" aria-hidden="false"><p><strong>If you can’t spend more than $100 for a chest cooler:</strong> Consider the <a class="product-link" href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/61890/201497/4/185830/?merchant=Coleman" rel="noopener sponsored" target="_blank" data-gtm-trigger="product_link" data-store="Coleman" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/61890/201497/4/185830/?merchant=Coleman" data-vars-store="Coleman" data-gtm-context="chapter_other-good-coolers" data-gtm-element="product_link_impression" data-link-type="link" data-merchant="Coleman" data-pid="61890" data-url="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/61890/201497/4/185830/?merchant=Coleman">Coleman 316 Series 52-Quart Marine Hard Cooler</a>, a version of our previous top pick for everyday use.

It’s lightweight but sturdy. The Ultra-Light Cooler compares in strength to roto-molded coolers (roto-molding creates evenly distributed plastic parts through a heated rotating mold), such as ones from Yeti, but at 21 pounds, it’s significantly lighter. This is because, despite looking like a roto-molded cooler, the Ultra-Light series is injection-molded, which uses less plastic and results in a lighter cooler. It’s easy to move. It’s lighter than any of the other comparably sized hard coolers we tested and the easiest to move around. The Ultra-Light Cooler has two nylon ropes slotted through plastic handles that are easy enough to use. It also has a small area to insert your hand for lifting, but it’s less comfortable to carry that way. It has plenty of insulation without sacrificing capacity. The Ultra-Light Cooler has less insulation around the sides while keeping the standard 3 inches of insulation within the lid (similar to a Yeti cooler). Compared with our roto-molded picks, the interior is very spacious. It can easily carry a week’s worth of refrigerated groceries for two. I use the 52-quart model every week to pick up groceries in Hawaii and drive them home. It fits easily in my trunk, and I can count on it, with a few ice packs, to keep dairy cold even after hours driving around in tropical heat. In our testing, we also found that the Ultra-Light Cooler consistently keeps ice frozen and maintains a food-safe temperature (40 °F) for up to three or four days in the shade with use. RTIC also sells a freezable divider and basket. They’re good if you prefer a little extra organization while packing your cooler. It cuts price, but not details. RTIC coolers—both the ultralight and rotomolded variety—are somewhat notorious for being two-thirds of the price of Yeti coolers without sacrificing performance. Yeti can (and does) charge a premium for its name. But cutting the price doesn’t necessarily mean that RTIC cut any corners. The latches on the Ultra-Light Cooler are made from a stiff rubber and seal down the gasket of the lid with the telltale exhalation of air from a full seal. However, over time I wouldn’t expect this seal to remain watertight—it’s just not built to that high a specification. The Ultra-Light Cooler has two drain ports with cap stays made of wire. Flaws but not dealbreakers \tThe three-year warranty on this cooler seems a bit chintzy. Used correctly, the Ultra-Light Cooler should last a lot longer than that (and ours already has). We’d love to see a company warranty that extends deeper into the life of the gear. \tThe biggest complaint we’ve seen online is that people feel the latch handles aren’t secure enough.

It has strong hardware. The Tundra Haul is expensive, but when you’re choosing a wheeled model, it’s worth paying for hardware that won’t break or strain under heavy loads. It has taken us a few years to recommend a wheeled cooler simply because none have seemed built to last longer than a season or two—especially in the handle. Once loaded with ice, drinks, and food, a 37-pound cooler can more than double in weight. When someone then tilts the cooler up, all that weight goes into the wheelbase or leans into the handle hinge. The arm of the Tundra Haul is made from a thick-gauge welded aluminum, the quality of which you can feel immediately when you lift it. It has tough wheels. The wheels are a single-construction plastic and not hollow or feeble-feeling as on so many other coolers. Remarkably, when we lifted this cooler—fully loaded with cans, food, and many pounds of ice—by the handle, the experience didn’t feel that different from wheeling around a high-end piece of luggage. It’s built to last and bear-resistant. This cooler, like everything in the Tundra collection, is certified bear-resistant by the IGBC. Flaws but not dealbreakers \tWe’d like to see more internal division (or at least the ability to add a divider). Once you tip your cooler up at an angle, you should expect the contents to shift around a bit, and it would be nice to have more control over that situation as you shuffle and roll your cooler across, say, a boardwalk or a pool deck. \tThe warranty is for only five years. For a company charging a premium price for its coolers, which are built to last a long time, we’d expect a longer warranty protecting its gear.

However, it costs $10 more than our Canyon Coolers Outfitter pick while having a smaller capacity and offering a shorter warranty (five years versus a lifetime). And although it costs about $100 less than the Yeti Tundra 45 Hard Cooler (listed as a backup to the Outfitter in our Other good coolers section), it lacks the bear-resistant certification that both the Yeti Tundra and the Canyon Coolers Outfitter coolers carry. Engel 45 High Performance Hard Cooler and Ice Box: It almost meets the level of other top-end coolers, except it’s consistently let down by its latches, which garner numerous complaints online—complaints we had as well during testing. They just aren’t robust enough. Pelican 50QT Elite Cooler: The cooler has bizarre plastic ribbing and extended hard handles that take up needless space in most situations, making it awkward to use on boats or utility vehicles. Bison Coolers 50 QT Cooler: This roto-molded design, intended for hunters and fishers, is as good as any we tested, but our top-pick roto-molded cooler from RTIC is just as good—and a good deal cheaper. Yeti Roadie 48 Wheeled Cooler: The Roadie cooler is designed with a telescoping handle, similar to a carry-on piece of luggage. This change in the center of gravity may make it easier to maneuver than our top rolling cooler pick in certain situations, but the difference wasn’t immediately clear to us in testing. Our main concern is the price; the complexity of the telescoping handle adds to the price per cubic liter significantly. Soft coolers Polar Bear Coolers 24 Pack Original Nylon Soft Side Cooler: This cooler, our former top pick among soft coolers, is lightweight, sturdy, and easy to pack. But the cooler’s lack of durability (especially to sun damage) over the years prevents us from continuing to recommend it.

But its 0.75-inch open-cell insulation doesn’t compare to our current pick—it’s not as well insulated and nowhere near as durable.

Unless you need a soft cooler specifically sized for overhead compartments, as this one is, buy a cheaper bag that keeps things cool longer. Coleman Chiller 30-Can Soft-Sided Portable Cooler: This Coleman soft cooler, which comes with a removable hard-plastic liner meant to keep your food from being squashed, has thin insulation that just didn’t perform well. Yeti Hopper Flip 18 Soft Cooler: Similar in design to our soft cooler pick, the Hopper Flip cooler is a good option, but as with all Yeti models, this soft cooler’s build and attention to detail are reflected in the price. For a simple design like this, we just didn’t see that it made much of a difference, and the RTIC soft cooler is practically just as good and much less expensive. Yeti Hopper M30 Tote Soft Cooler: This tote is similar to our backpack cooler from Yeti, but it’s larger and designed to carry as a shoulder bag. We found it unwieldy for the size. I suppose for short distances or as a car cooler it would work well for a family. But the backpack form seems much more functional.
