High end rotomolded cooler deal.

Fellows I have never seen these in person, but at the price and a 7 year warranty to boot, it was to good for me to pass up. I thought I would share this for anyone considering a high end cooler. I reserved 2 of the 65's for basically the same price as 1 Yeti or other comparable cooler. With the price and warranty it seems like a heck of a deal to me. And just for the record and clarification, I'm in no way affiliated with these folks. Just thought that it was a great deal and worth sharing with fellow eggers.

    Looks pretty sweet. I just don't take good enough care of my coolers to justify an expensive one.

    I'm pretty rough on my stuff as well. However the price on these is real good. I will use them for srickly holding food so they should last forever.

    The price and warranty is definitely right.  I thought I would try them too. You can bet after a few months the price will skyrocket. I hope that they are good, I reserved 2 of the 65's myself.

    I know I will have finally grown up when I can pull a cooler out of my garage and NOT have to clean the damn thing out first before I can use it.

    Look like a solid product.

    They do look similar.  Court battles - depends on the patents.  Even cheaper than the Pelican.

    My pleasure brother. It looked like a great deal to me so I thought I would pass it along.

    Considerably cheaper my friend. However like most things, I bet the minute that they start selling a lot of them the price increases dramatically. Sadly it always does.

    Agree^^^^^^^. The warranty is outstanding for sure.

    My pleasure brother. As far as the court battles, there are several Yeti clones out there. Brute was the first to copy them. For some reason they have now changed their name to Bison I believe.

    I ordered that too.  I think I have an obsessive amount of coolers already.  And I'll use them all at brisket camp.

    I apologize brother. I need to come get all my crap so you are not having to store it. Hopefully I can get over that way soon.

    Not on my part. I like all of the rotomolded coolers. However I usually try to go with the best deal. The price is right and the warranty is fantastic so I thought I would try them. Again I have never actually seen one so I can't speak of their quality. But for the price I was willing to give them a try. Some of the bigger names has really got ridiculous with their prices. I have both a Pelican and a Orca. However I will never buy another one of either if the prices keep going up. These looked like a good alternative to me.

    Probably if it came in lobster pink!

    Well, "spa-Peggy" is kind of like spaghetti. I'm not sure what Peggy does different, if anything. But it's the one dish she's kind of made her own.

    I haven't brother. Go to their website and fbook and you can get a pretty good look at them. They offer a 90 day trial period to return it no questions asked so you are really out nothing if you don't like it. The warranty is the best I have seen and I don't know of anyone else that offeres the 90 day trial. Sounds like they are pretty confident in the product.
