    I used this two years in a row for a 3 day camping trip. Well, this worked OK for the first time I took it camping. After two days, the ice had melted and the spigot on the side leaked. I was under the impression the ice would've lasted longer. Otherwise, it's very sturdy and I liked the top section.

    We actually bought this product and returned it the next day. It is way too heavy to carry when it is loaded with ice and beverages.

      Hi Chris,

      We apologize that this Venture 45-Quart Cooler ended up being a little too cumbersome for your comfort level! If you're looking for something a little smaller, we do carry that cooler's little brother: the Venture 25-Quart. Feel free to check it out via the link below, and call our awesome representatives at 1-855-688-7269 with any further questions!

    Third day of camping with temps in the 80s and even with frequent opening and closing, the ice is still intact. Good capacity, and we also like the stability--it doesn't slide around in the back of our truck during transport. The latches are secure but easy to open and close, even one-handed. Solid construction and great quality!

    Otterbox Outdoor Gear - Tough & Solid

    |
    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    When it comes to outdoor gear, OtterBox is a fairly new contender in this space. However, they produced exactly the quality that I have come to expect from anything with the OtterBox name it. The cooler is rugged, bear proof and can be divided into sections. The accessories are top notch and we have already purchased more items. Do yourself a favor and check it out. One look and you will want the entire line. I can't wait for more items to come out.

    Disclosure: The reviewer has been compensated in the form of a Best Buy Gift Card and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free. The assortment of OtterBox outdoor gear available at Best Buy really helps to bring the comfort of indoors, outside. After all, we trust OtterBox with our smartphones, it would only make sense that we could trust them with more. Honestly, with all this fun, durable outdoor gear, it’s hard for us to say no to more outdoor adventures.

    The Otterbox Venture Cooler is amazing. We were able to keep ice in the cooler for days without issue. Our drinks were colder in the cooler than they were in our fridge. The cooler is perfectly sized for road trips and camping trips. You can use the divider to keep food separate from the ice if needed. I would highly recommend this cooler.
