The Yeti ice chest is around $500. I just can't get my head around that much money for an ice chest. I think it's a status symbol, which is stupid.
Then online I saw a Pelican cooler. No affiliation with Wayne I'm guessing. It's around half that price.
Then there are the stupid bling ones with built in speakers, bluetooth, and blenders. I won't be buying one of those.
This is for work. I have a crew of around 12 people who will be opening and closing it all day for around 3 months. I will probably use it in the truck and stuff in the off season, so it's got to be durable.
Anyone else have experience with high end ice chests?

A standard (not frost free) refrigerator with a solar setup will certainly beat the price of ice over your time period.
