    Value can be relative but quality American made coolers, I would suggest having a look at Bison Coolers.

    James, have you lifted the coolers mentioned ... WITH ... a case of beer and 25-40 lbs of ice ??
    IMO a 45 is waaaaay too big for the app mentioned. ----- SAWMAN

    I have a 25qt RTIC. Perfect for the back of my buggy. YMMV
    Perhaps a 30-35 qt if they make them.
    Yeti has a terrible rep with hunters/ sportsmen. Google them and their PR with hunters and sportsmen in general. ( NRA I believe) ---- SAWMAN

    I have bought several RTICS and have had great luck with them, and they go on sale pretty regularly, may not get the color you want but I don’t really care. I bought two huge ones for bed of my truck usually $650, paid $90 with free shipping, soft coolers as well. I believe they are made in Texas.

    I’ve got a 45 RTIC and a 35 Yeti. I use the 35 a lot more than the 45.
    I used to have a RTIC 25 (or maybe it was a 20) but it just didn’t hold enough so I sold it.
    I think the RTIC and Yeti are very similar in quality but the RTIC is quite a bit cheaper especially around Christmas when they put them on sale.

    I have a yeti it is made great and works great as long as ya dont open it very much to get cold beers. If ya put frozen food or fresh food and pack it in ice for a road trip, great, other wise not so much.

    I’ve got RTIC in all the sizes

    Absent theft I’ll never need to buy another cooler.

    They’d go on sale. I’d buy one. Another size the next month.

    Well I just looked. They have more sizes than when I bought a few years ago.

    I’ve got a soft side, 20, 45 and 65 I think.

    My thought was light weight soft, small with handle. Medium and large the big one takes two men or you’ll stretch something doing it yourself. Anything bigger you need to take a fridgerator. Exception would be off shore fishing.
