Best 100ish qt cooler for ice retention

[LostArra]

Coleman Extreme/Marine 120-150 qt coolers just keep getting the job done for us.
We may take one Yeti or Yeti clone for drinks and food but for elk quarters we use the Coleman.

I'm sure roto-molded coolers win the You Tube Ice tests but their weight and the large foot print relative to internal capacity just doesn't cut it when you are taking a bunch of coolers. If we were losing meat or too much ice we would reconsider.

Decided to give the cater gater 110qt a shot. The size is right, haven’t had a chance to put ice in it yet.

Nice. Keep us (me) posted.

Have this same cooler minus the Yeti badge. Works great for what it is, just sits too tall to close my bed cover. Seen too many trophies getting stolen in parking lots to want to leave my bed open

The cost is the big factor for me. Coolers can last a long time, but $600 for one cooler? I have never been able to justify it, and I don't really want to. Like everything, costs have gotten insane. I have two coolers I use for most things, a 120 qt and 70 qt, both Coleman. I'm pretty sure I bought both a few years ago for about $80 for both, today it appears they are about double that. In the summer I'll cover them with that reflective insulation. They hold ice for a week if you don't open them constantly. Ice is still only like $5 or $6 for a 20 pound bag. I can't imagine how much more you need a cooler to do.
