Best large cooler (that's not a Yeti)

[CONChunt]

I'm in the market for a new, large cooler. Ideally looking for at least a 150 quart size.

What is the best value cooler out there nowadays? It would need to retain ice for a least 5 days.

I know Yeti has a strong following, but there's no way that $680+ is value for a cooler (at least in my eyes).

Any opinions? RTIC, Coleman, Igloo, Orca, others?

RTIC are pretty dang good for the money, We use three big coleman extreme 100qt marine coolers when we go out of state and just get dry ice and they will work.

Yeti are nice but I feel the RTIC are just as nice.

I have two Grizzly coolers that keep ice very well here in Az. Made in Iowa and lifetime guaranteed.

Calcutta has been good for us and so has RTIC. We have used Yeti and really can't tell much difference as far as ice keeping and durability

This doesn't align with what your specs list, of 150 ct or more affordable... but man they work really well

Permafrost assembled in Montana. Nice guys and about half the cost of Yeti. Not sure if they have 150qt

I like my rtic, and it beats the snot out of my Coleman extreme

Coleman with expanding foam all around it and the lid does wonders for improving insulation. Saves a lot of money for more "wants and needs."

lifetime makes a good one also and my cabela's polar cap is the best cooler I have owned.i have a canyon cooler that works great.

I have Lifetime coolers. Walmart. A friends dad did comparison with Yeti. Lifetime kept ice and temp longer. Dont think they have a 150 though....
