Like most people, we originally wanted a Yeti cooler. They have quite the marketing presence and are often touted as the best. After doing some research, I found that the Orca coolers had thicker walls, kept ice longer, had a COMPLETE lifetime warranty, were actually cheaper for a given size, and were made in the USA. Considering every single one of those things is good, we went with Orca instead. For the first trip our 75qt cooler was packed with frozen pizza, ice cream, beers, fruits, veggies and of course, ice. We left it on the porch for the weekend and it kept its ice. We brought it home and forgot to empty it, and 3 days later it still had some ice.
A big +1 for Orca.
