OtterBox - Venture 45-Quart Cooler - Hudson

ICE Last Longer then both of my Yeti.... I did buy two of them 25 and 45 and gave my yetis away ... I keep mine 45 in back of my truck on chains

It advertised that it keep on ce for 14 days! It doesn’t but it keep the water Icy cold! One of the best coolers I’ve own!

My main reason for two stars is the choice of delivery method. The shipping label was put directly on the cooler... there was no box or protection. While I can appreciate avoiding packaging waste, my cooler arrived with several gouges and black marks. Also, there is adhesive residue on the cooler from the tape and packing slip. I don't plan to keep my cooler perfect because it will be used hard, but it would be nice to receive it in new condition. As for the cooler, I have a positive initial impression. The latching mechanism is a bit more involved than a yeti style cooler, but works well. The accessory system actually seems relatively useful, and I appreciate that they include at least a few accessories to get started (tray and bottle opener). I do intend to get a divider, as I think that will be useful. The handles are personal preference. They do take up more space than the rope style handles, but I like the positive connection I have to the cooler when carrying a lot of weight. That's why I focused my search on Cabela's/pelican/OtterBox style coolers. Ultimately it came down to a good sales price. Other than the disappointing shipment, I'm excited to put this cooler to use.

We took the new Venture 45-Quart Cooler with us on a 1,600-mile road trip to Fargo, ND. You know, to break it in and see how it would work for a family of 4. It let us bring everything we needed to keep cool for our week long trip without needing to restock food, drink or ice! We filled the cooler with two small bags of ice, some chicken salad, apples, lunch meat, oranges, carrots, drinks and more. Even after leaving the cooler in the car for 5 days and opening it several times a day our food and drinks were refrigerator cool.

We received the OtterBox Venture 45-Quart Cooler from Best Buy and this cooler is epic. The inside of the cooler has a ton of room and just looking at it you know it’s durable, It has two latches that lock in contents. If you’re planning on using this camping, you will not have to worry about critters getting in. As a matter of fact, it’s ultra bear resistant and I’m so sure that if the bear met the cooler, I’m betting on the cooler! The accessories complete the experience! The Drybox, cutting board, bottle opener, and tumbler are must-haves!

Cooler is good, heavy duty material just when i picked it up at bestbuy the product looks used. Picked it up dirty and doesnt look brand new. The cooler got ding on the side and feels they didnt take care while delivering the package.

I doubt I'll ever get to test the ultra bear proof feature of the cooler, but it is great to take out for tailgating and fishing. All the options available make it extremely flexible for nearly any use. Heavy when full. Fits enough for most needs.

I love this thing. Durable, rugged, and ready to take on the elements or even that pesky bear. Ready to hold your drinks, snacks and more it will be perfect for those who travel or camp quite a bit.
