FIRST ALERT WEATHER: Still dry & slightly cooler for Wednesday

But it is still good to know about issues that may arise so you know exactly what you’re getting. There are two on the small one and 4 on the medium and large ones. Next, we have the anti-skid feet, which protect your tabletop from your super-heavy cooler. Check out our review of the Coleman Atlas Series 65-Quart Cooler with Wheels. I love getting out into nature and it's where I feel most alive. "The Waterfall Hunters" are what me and my family call ourselves as we love finding new waterfalls to explore, swimming holes to dive in or beaches to surf at. I also love the wide range of gear that allows us to travel further and eat and drink better while we are out exploring. It's not as expensive but it's also not as good both in terms of build quality and performance. When it comes down to it Ozark Trail is a cheaper rip-off of the Yeti Hopper series of coolers. The Yeti coolers are all equipped with tie down straps so you can strap down your cooler to your car, van, truck or boat and make sure it doesn't move around at all. They are one of the most expensive soft sided coolers on the market. Melting ice is the last thing you want to worry about when you're out in the woods, on the boat or kicking back at the beach. Protection against the growth of bacterial odors and stains that is guaranteed to last the lifetime of the product. The product also features a wire basket, 4 drink holders, a built-in fish ruler and heavy-duty handles with comfort grip for easy rolling. Another thing you want in a premium cooler is the ability to hold ice for extended periods. Ozark have a freezer-grade gasket that’s pretty much like what you would see in your average high-end cooler. The smaller sized Ozark Trail coolers don't have any handles other than the shoulder strap. Ozark Trail on the other hand are Walmart's white label brand and the internet is littered with reviews of poor quality of their products. There’s a tick on that little detail on Ozark’s part because their coolers are, in fact, rotomolded. Ozark Trail decided to pass up the opportunity to create a simple cooler for the medium price range to the lower price range. The only group that isn’t served here is the group of people looking for coolers over 100 quarts in capacity. However, that kind of handle won’t work for the larger coolers, so they utilize side handles made of rope for those ones.
The majority of coolers on the market claim to hold ice for an extended period of time. Temperature, how many times the cooler is opened, whether or not the cooler was pre-cooled, the type of ice being used, the type of insulation in the cooler, ect. If you’re on the fence about spending the money, consider how long you will be gone and what it would cost to add ice to your cooler everyday. For us, while a YETI required a larger initial investment, we will save money (and use less water) over time. Many companies and sporting stores make or sell rotomolded coolers. If you are interested in purchasing one, considering waiting for a sale, like the REI 20% off member sale.
