    Built better and performs better than the competitors. Competitive price and made right here in the USA. No brainer if your in the market for a high end cooler.

    Performs as advertised. It's heavy but it meets the intent and very durable. The white finish gets dirty, but who cares?

    I couldn't believe it when Best Buy was closing out of these coolers at almost half off. I had seen their kiosk displays and wondered how nice Otterbox coolers and mugs were. After doing some online research, there were plenty saying they even outperformed Yetis. With the crazy amount of accessories and unbeatable price, I ended up with this 45qt, a 65qt, and a bunch of mugs and thermoses. Haven't regretted a single purchase, they are awesome.

    Love this product! Hunted for a week and ice kept.. first you cool it with ice or tons of frozen blue ice to absorb heat the night before.. toss liquid .. then your second bag of ice last and last and last

    First trip with this cooler was camping in mild temps. On day two the ice showed no signs of melt. Excellent cooler, comparable to any other.

    Heavy, yet awesome!

    Yes, it's heavy when comparing it to the standard $20-$50 coolers that are just plastic and Styrofoam. But, once you're over that and understand that you'll spend less time and ice to keep your stuff cooler longer, it's worth it. Spending weeks at a time living out of coolers at the lake, it was just a matter of the "right price" before buying a cooler like this. Pre-cool, stock, close (and keep the kids from leaving it open all the time).

    Great cooler that keeps ice as long as a yeti cooler! Handles are kind of awkward, but the latches are way better and easier than those on the yeti.

    OtterBox Venture cooler

    I had been looking at another cooler but always stopped because of the price. the OtterBox Venture cooler cost less and appeared to have the same cooling features as the others. This cooler was featured on the deal of the day and made the price right for me! After using this cooler it stood up to the claim to keep ice for long periods, even though I did not test it for 14 days. I believe it will do as they claim.

    Keeps stuff super cold for long periods. It is a large and heavy cooler that is built very tough. Great latches. However it doesn't hold all that much for it's size because of all the insulation.

    I felt dumb spending this much money on a cooler, but this thing is amazing! I think I could run it over with my car without causing any damage, and it really does keep ice from melting for days. I took it to a 3 day music festival where people were in and out of the cooler all day grabbing drinks, and only added ice one time. I’m not sure it was even necessary, the original ice wasn’t fully melted.

    I have had ice last for up to 5 days in 90 degree Florida heat. It was mostly melted by then but a few cubes remained. Only negative is that it is heavy even empty

    I got this on a 50% off sale, but I still had really high expectations. The ice in this thing lasted 4 or 5 days with people constantly getting in and out of it the first two days and not having cooled it down besides the first (and only) bag of ice we put in. Its large and heavy, but it keeps everything cold incredibly well.

    Best cooler I ever had

    I now have the 45qt and the 25qt. I keep the 25 in my work truck, put ice in it on Monday and it's good till Thursday. That's in 90° + days and inside the cab with no tint. The 45 is the same way. It works just like all other coolers. If you are partying and repeatedly opening and not closing the cooler ice will not last.

    Little Heavy but does what it says

    I bought this weeks ago and used it this past weekend. It did like it says and advertised but it is heavier than the coleman ice chest I had. But I guess for your food to not be spoiled is worth the money. I recommend it, buying ice to keep refilling cost money, time and overall the hassles of leaving your function.
