Engel 80 High-Performance Cooler ($339.99) – With top-of-the-line durability and closed-cell foam insulation in lid, on the sides, and in the bottom, this cooler delivers up to 10 days of ice retention! This cooler uses special silicone gaskets instead of rubber, which ensures a tight seal season after season.
RTIC 65 Quart ($249.00) – If you’re looking to save a little, this RTIC cooler has plenty of storage, yet is still small enough for one person to carry. It fits just as much as the Yeti Tundra 65.
