10. Rubbermaid 150-Quart
The extra-large Rubbermaid 150-Quart features wide, rugged handles that make it easy for one person to lift with both hands. It does have a couple drawbacks, though, as its plastic hinges are rather flimsy, and it probably won’t keep ice frozen for a full week.
- Cupholders for 20-ounce bottles
- Liner is odor-resistant
- Plastic bottom is quite thin
9. Igloo Glide Pro
Despite its extensive 110-quart capacity, the Igloo Glide Pro is fairly easy to maneuver and transport, thanks to its telescoping handle. It is relatively lightweight, yet tough, with a rock-solid build and zinc-plated hinges.
- Built-in fish scale
- Resistant to mold and mildew
- Latches tend to break eventually
8. Camco Currituck
The Camco Currituck is a smart choice if you’ll be on the water for multiple days in a row. Its sealing gasket keeps cold air in and hot air out, and it has handy slots for tying it down to prevent it slipping and sliding around the deck.
- Sturdy one-piece construction
- Rubber latches will not rot or crack
- Efficient drain for easy emptying
7. Coleman Xtreme
The Coleman Xtreme accommodates more than four cases of soda or beer, so no one will be going thirsty during your next outdoor excursion. Even if temperatures are approaching 90 degrees Fahrenheit, it’s designed to maintain ice for multiple days.
- Handles will not pinch fingers
- Drain plug is tight to prevent leaks
- Nice value for its capacity
6. Milee Iceland
Choose from three vibrant colors with the Milee Iceland for a mix of style and performance. It has a recessed drain plug for smooth emptying, anti-skid feet for stability and two built-in bottle openers, so you’re not caught unprepared and thirsty.
- Pressure release button
- Super strong nylon rope handles
- Compatible with dry ice
5. Coleman Belted
Crafted with a stainless steel latch and handles that are strong and resistant to rusting, the Coleman Belted would make a valuable addition to the avid outdoorsman’s arsenal. It’s tall enough to hold several two-liter bottles upright inside.
- Available in 8 colors
- Attractive retro design
- Built-in bottle opener
4. NorChill Boatbag
Anglers, kayakers and beachgoers would all agree that the NorChill Boatbag is easy to use and highly effective. It comes with a two-year warranty, won’t break the bank and should last for years with its resilient nylon shell.

- Smooth and durable ykk zipper
- Free of lead and toxins
3. Coleman Coastal
Designed with sun protection technology to guard it from harmful ultraviolet rays, the Coleman Coastal features enough insulation to keep the interior ice-cold for the better part of a week. If used as a chair, it can support up to 250 pounds.
- Holds more than 200 cans
- 4 cupholders on the lid
- Smooth surface wipes clean easily
2. Igloo Breeze
Ideal for small boats or day outings at the beach, the Igloo Breeze features a locking telescoping handle with a push button for easily adjusting its height. Its strategically placed rear wheels make it possible for adults and kids alike to roll this one with ease.

- Easy-to-grip side handles
- Slots for mounting cupholders
1. Yeti Tundra
When you think of the wilderness, what comes to mind? Grizzly bears, the northern lights and the Yeti Tundra would all qualify as correct answers. Heavily armored with three inches of advanced insulation, nothing’s getting into this beast unless you allow it.

- Durable interlocking hinges
- Rubber feet prevent sliding
