    I do have a yeti and the otterbox. The ability to divide the food and beverages really sets the product apart. Ice retention is just as good. But all the little extras add the value to the purchase.

    It's nice. It dose keep ice for days. The cooler is well built. The only complaint I have is the need to purchase a lock set to make the cooler bear resistant. If you purchased a yeti you can buy locks for 18$ for this cooler it's 100$ . You think otterbox would make this a bit more price competitive.

    This cooler is worth the money. The first trip we did with it, it stayed in the car as we did a road trip through southern Colorado for 5 days. the ice we put it in was there on the last day, though mostly melted, and everything in the cooler was still cold.

    I really like this cooler. I did my research and this cooler is up there with the Yeti coolers, but for half the price. I recently took it with me on a family trip and it kept our food cold the entire 4 days. It is a quality cooler and I would recommend this item to a friend.

    It has kept everything I needed cold and with very little ice melting. The construction is was well thought out with so many add ons for just about anyone can make this cooler work for what they need it for. The latches are heavy duty but yet still easy to open and close.

    I have never owned a Yeti cooler, but this one does the job for us. It keeps things cold for several days (used it when the power went out). It is fairly heavy, so keep that in mind if you are considering purchasing.

    This thing is so thick and insulated that it makes you wonder if this is overkill but when the ice is still there days later, you'll know you made the right choice. Get a cheap one if you need ice for short trips; this if you need ice for longer

    Cooler works great. Stays cold even when leaving the cooler in a hot car. My only knock on the cooler are the side handles, makes the cooler too wide, they are sturdy but I think it would work better with rope handles to cut down on size.

    I went back and forth with this chest and the other it brand. I decided on this based on needs and price. Purchased on sale and vertical happy. Used several times and I had ice stay cubed and maintain proper temperature for several days.

    This Otterbox cooler is just as well made as the Yeti I have owned for a couple of years. Although this OtterBox is about 25% larger than my Yeti it cost me about a third as much on a deal of the day. I wish I would have bought two.

    I use the cooler a lot and have no doubt it keeps ice and food cold longer than average coolers. Handle design is nice for carrying but does get in the way at times. Very sturdy product!

    Love this cooler but do not get the white. Everything will stain it. I also have the tan colored one and it looks much better with the same use. Keeps everything cold and the dividers and trays are great.

    I bought it to transport some 10 pounds of frozen dinner from AZ to WI, which is a 3 days car ride.. When i arrived in Green Bay WI the food was still frozen!!! It really isolates perfectly, but it's a monster, just to big for me.

    I was looking for a cooler that was easy to open; I love the otter box latches. Although expensive, this was a lifetime purchase. Wanted a cooler that would keep food and ice cold for multiple days.

    Excellent cooler and worth the price! Good warranty and serviced by OtterBox with their service center! Only suggestion would be an easier drain - often all the liquid does not drain out with tap.
