Best Rolling Cooler
This Igloo ATC Wheeled Cooler is one really awesome rolling cooler!

Best of all, it can hold 185 cans! That’s awesome! And it will keep your cooler items cool for days.
Great for tailgating or the beach!

Best Camping Cooler
While we really are a HUGE fan of YETI coolers, when it comes to the best cooler for camping, we’re gonna have to agree that this Pelican ProGear 65 is really best for camping. (we compared YETI vs Pelican coolers here).
It’s bear-resistant, leakproof, has a lifetime guarantee, and keeps ice for TEN DAYS.
Pelican ProGear 65 Quart Elite Ice Chest Cooler, Tan
This Pelican cooler is perfect for long stretches of time camping when you NEED your ice to last and your cooler items to say cold and fresh.
Can be heavy tho – this is not a one-person, quick trip cooler.

This Bison Brute Box Cooler is waterproof and leakproof and keeps cooler items cold for about 5 days. Still a little heavy for one person to manage, but this is one heck of a good cooler.

Best Hunting Cooler
We’re also a big fan of this ORCA cooler – and the Outdoor Recreation Company of America company as a whole.
All their coolers are 100% made in the USA and use 100% American-made parts – PLUS, they donate a portion of each sale for various conservation groups here in the United States.

Best Electric Cooler
This Koolatron W75 cooler is great for road trips and for truckers (also called “thermoelectric coolers”). It doesn’t use ice – it plugs into the 12v cigarette lighter in your car or truck and keeps things cold for as long as you keep it plugged in.
The wheels on the cooler are a nice touch that make it much easier to move around.

Best Affordable Soft Cooler
We’re sure not everyone wants to pay that price for a YETI Hopper soft-side cooler so here is a very high-quality and inexpensive alternative to the Hopper.
This Soft Cooler from Polar Bear is a great option that works really well. Holds about 24 cans. Designed to last for a day.
Comes in many colors, but we really like this camo cooler.
