Irp is sweet!!!!
Whats a price on that??

I still love my yeti.... Even thought it wasn't a top performer.

The igloo works well.... But tears up & breaks to fast.

I woulde have liked a little more info . Like ambiant air temps when they were running the test. Could be a real big difference in performance between an air conditioned warehouse and out in the Louisiana summer sun???

I put my cooler in the house night before with lid open to cool it down.
Put all stuff in fridge night before too.
Morning time, put stuff in cooler and ice down along with them blue plastic thingys you freeze.
Makes ice last 5 times longer than if you put hot food/drinks in a cooler you got out of a hot shed.
A hot ice chest will make the ice melt faster.

I have Igloo, Colemen 5 day and Yeti coolers.
I'd rank them in order:

1 Yeti
2 Coleman 5 day
3 Igloo

I use the two 5 day coolers a lot on my big boat.
I am too scared someone will steal the Yeti. Cost so much.

I agree. Eight days and they still got ice? You can best it ain't out in the summer in the south.

last yr on a TX deer trip one of my uncle's took the silver a/c tape and taped around the lid of his ice chest and it made a big difference compared to another of his chest that was sitting next to it and both started off packed with ice.

He shoulda taped around your head. That woulda made a REALLY big difference.

I have a bunch of igloo's but after seeing this test I'm gonna try one of those Coleman Extreme's. I think the Yeti and IRP are too much $!
