    Default New cooler company

    At least I think they are new. I met one of the owners of this company the other day got to look at a few of their coolers which are similar to Yeti at a lot lower price. They are roto molded like our boats and seem to be very tough. May pick one up in the new year.
    Apparently they are popular on the Grand Canyon trips.

    They look like very nice coolers. For most of my trips, I use IceMule coolers. They are soft sided, can hold quite a bit and are extremely durable. They might be worth checking out depending on the use.

    Good looking coolers with some decent prices I would try one. Wonder if they are made in China? I didn't see Made In USA on their website.

    I believe he told me they were made in Thailand or some of the components are and assembled here, not sure. Have to meet with him tomorrow, maybe I can look at some more and get some info. he told me I could take my boat by the ware house to find what fits best, that could be fun.

    I have used soft sided cooler and like them, I just have a bad habit of leaving them places. i think that their low profile is not obvious enough for me.

    I'm actually looking for a low profile cooler. The best one suggested so-far is the Coleman stackable coolers at only 8.25" high. If I can find anyone that makes something similar I would be willing to pay a couple bucks extra for it.

    E-54, Galaxy has one 11" tall and Yeti Road is like 13" tall. Might also consider using a Pelican box (cases4less usually has good prices). Pelican won't hold ice as long, but should be fine for most day trips.

    Anybody bought one of these? Wondering if the 29 quart is too big ? Should I just be of the safe side and go with a 22 qt for my coosa?

    I should be getting a coosa with in the month and I will let you know. They are great coolers! If it and the Yeti were the same price you would of course go with the Yeti. But it is the price difference and still a great product that is draw for these. I do not think I would go with the 22 qt, as it it quite small. Their web site has some pretty interesting info on prolonging the life of your ice.

    Here are some pics. Not in Coosa. If you call in the order, you might ask about getting a "kayak" handle for the top as they are heavy-ish. You can almost see it in some of the pictures. It make it a little less pleasant to sit on, but nicer to toss around. And tell them Rich sent you

    Just ordered a 29qt green. Checked out the measurements from their web site and it looks just right for a coosa

    I can confirm the 29qt fits the coosa perfect.
