Another cooler thread....
I've been in the market for a smaller (20qt) roto-molded cooler lately and came across the Igloo Sportsman 20 qt at the local Sams club... I have to say, I was impressed with it's overall construction and features... Sams club only carries the white coolers in their store, but offers tan on their website so I ordered one for $149.00 and received it today...
The drain spout is larger than most coolers I've seen and I like the tether option so you don't lose the plug...
When you lift the lid, it has a locking feature which keeps you from having to hold the lid open...
The handle feels rugged and built to last...
Non-marking rubber feet similar to the Yeti...
The built in ruler is on the mark...
If you're in the market like I was for the smaller 20qt version, gives these a look... Compared to the Yeti, I would pick the Igloo...

Gary, I never even noticed the disclaimer of "approximate" at the store but it was the first thing I noticed when I took this out of the box...
I think they compare quite decently...

They may have measured it wrong.

What's with your new Igloo's deeply sculptured exterior? Seems that the fat oversize corners make it take up a lot of extra space. What look like extra thick insulated walls from top are heavily carved out all around. Makes it a smaller cooler inside taking up a bigger space outside.
He catches very small fishes.
Holds an 18 pack + ice, If I prerig and brine hoos the night before the ice underneath the hoos rocks back up by morning.
That Was along the lines of what i was thinking.:huh
A bit high......OK, maybe real high for a small cooler.
But then again, I don't have rich people problems:grin
I guess TripleX's cooler could hold a fair amount of caviar.
Pint size cartons of milk to flush down the power rings... Geez, get it right man!!

Not really in the same category.

Piggy bank, that is what you need.
Try one. I use one for chum blocks and it keeps frozen 4 to 5 days.
Check out this review on it
Its important to note that given the larger size of the Coleman Xtreme Cooler 62qt, a direct comparison is not exactly fair given the smaller sizes of our Elite coolers. Given that however,we took the Coleman Xtreme Cooler 62qt out for numerous camping trips and found on average, we could get away with about 3 days worth of ice, food and drinks. This is astonishing given we achieved about the same with the Elite coolers (if only a little bit more cooling within the Elite range) and we were able to store a much higher capacity of food and drinks in this instance. The Coleman Xtreme cooler features the environmentally-friendly ThermOZONE insulation, which is likely how they achieve this level of cooling. Most other coolers in our Standard range (in which the Coleman is included) only lasted 2 days at the most, and the average tended to be about a day and a half – so technically this cooler provided nearly double the industry standard in insulation.
