Even cheaper...
Only 30 day warranty.

I'm really interested in how long all these brands hold things cold under the exact same conditions with exactly the same ice. Everything measured.

I have 45, 65, small zip yeti stuff along with the tumblers. Paid about 20% off retail, I'm not apposed to the cheaper if it's better. Not even saying yeti is the best.

Anyone have grizzly?

I have owned:

Yeti 65
Grizzly 20
Orca (not sure size - medium ish)
Rtic- soft 30

I haven't done any head to head scientific comparisons, but have used them all enough times to rank them.

Yeti and orca are pretty even and the best.  Could keep ice for multiple days easily. 9/10

Grizzly was the worst of the hard coolers 2/10. Lasts one day +

Rtic soft. Perfect for different needs. Jeep/pool cooler. Lasts all day, but no more. From what I've heard, similar longevity to yeti soft bags.

Cups - rtic and yeti last the same amount of time.

wouldn't it be cool if they had a vacuum based cooler, like the cups?!

Would that make it a better cooler? Or would rotomolded cups be cost and size prohibitive?

Every time I open my Meggelin 25 you have to break the vacuum seal. Doesn't leak a drop. $170 @  Academy Sports.

They felt cheap, and thin, when I touched them at the store a couple of nights ago.  The one thing that was firm was the lid rubber straps...damn they were tight!

The tie downs do seem cheap but that is all.

At work one day I noticed we carry a brand called Ice Mule. They have a large 24 can backpack cooler for $99. Hold ice for 4 days. They also have other stuff.

So I have to say after this past trip my grizzly cooler is not holding its own. Had to put ice in it over the trip and it was not that hot out !!!!

Yeah, I'm not impressed with grizzly. Nice cooler, just doesn't hang with yeti, rtic, etc
