After about a year of holding out and going to ranches with buddies that have them I finally pulled the trigger on one. 65qt wich is plenty big for me and still easy enough to carry and move around. Come on hunting season.

I heard for holding drinks and stuff they're like everything else, but for storing food for days it's great. If its grizzly proof then how come you can cut those rubber strips?

Awesome. Wish I had the money to get one.

If you pre cool them the ice will last a couple of days, had one out in Ranger tx about a month ago for two days on the front porch and when we left it was still full of ice. As for the Grizzly you are able to put locks on the lid which do keep bears out and moochers who some times forget to bring there own bevreges.

You'll enjoy it. I like mine.

Congrats, They are good coolers, I'm have two coolers from grizzlycoolers.com and love them

Nice

inlaws bought me the 45 quart for my birthday.

i use mine just about everyday now.....I love it

i want a yeti so bad

Wife and kids got me this 75 for fathers day. Now I want a roadie.

So how do they work?

why cant i have inlaws like that

I've only owned cheap coolers so it's not a fair comparison. But it's the best I've ever had.

great photos of your coolers guys.

i finally used it last weekend. made stainless lock plates for both sides.just to make it harder to steal
I love my YETI

I figure a few more years and they'll have me paid off for getting their daughter out of the house.

Now that made me laugh

Ice
The most important thing coolers have going for them is the ice inside. In order to melt, a block of ice needs to absorb a considerable amount of energy. The ice and ice water will stay at freezing temperature until the ice has nearly completely melted, so even without the insulation of the styrofoam, a cooler could probably keep your food cool for several hours.

Convection and Conduction
An ice cooler mainly has to prevent two kinds of warming: convection and conduction. Convection occurs when currents of a fluid such as air move heat from a hotter object to a cooler one. Conduction occurs when heat moves directly from a warmer object to an adjacent colder one. Coolers are designed to minimize both kinds of heating.

Preventing Convection
When a cooler is opened, convection currents immediately take their toll. Warm air blows in, melting the ice inside and warming up the cooler. As long as coolers are kept closed most of the time, convection does little to warm them up. Air currents can warm the surface of the cooler, but this warmth takes a long time to get inside because of the insulating properties of the cooler.
