Idaho with Jim.
in camp we had his two Yeti chest..my brother had a Engel and a Brute. four extreme coolers. i brought my Igloo ultra. side by side, every ice chest kept the same ice. exactly. but my igloo blew up both hinges on the drive home..and the latch broke when i got home.
i replaced them with new stuff bought at a local marine store. they have broken again.
i think the biggest benefit of the high end chest are the real hinges and latches. if i used one daily, i would buy one. zero doubt.
i have a friend looking at this one for me at SAM's club. looks more than fair.
Igloo 55-qt. Sportsman Cooler - White - Sam's Club
downside to them? they are all heavy empty!! filling them up makes them brutal.
