Have always had an Igloo style ice chest, but have been wanting to try one of the newer types. Saw a 75 qt. Magellan Ice Box at Academy & the price was not frightening. What are your opinions? Not a Yeti fan anymore.

I have two yeti's, if you want a well made cooler get one, or one similar. I will say they keep ice a bit longer then the cheap coolers but not enough to justify the price differance IMO.Quality in the build is, and to some it may be worth it to some it won't. I would go through an igloo or similar cooler every couple years. Hinges would brake, cooler would crack or something. I've had the yeti's now for about 4 years and no problems, and use them to stand on ,sit on,we treat them a lot harder then I did the cheaper coolers.

I have a few Yetis and they last. The Roadie spends time in the front end loader, truck, etc and no problems after 4 years. Igloo or Coleman would have been trashed in 6 months

I have become partial to lifetime products. I have tortured their kayak in ways it was not designed for and still in great shape.
They make yeti style coolers but for a lot less and far less likely to get stolen. And the best part unlike Yeti and most if not all the other big names they are 100% made in America. Kentucky and Utah are where their plants are. I'm all about buying American made not just American owned when the product is good.
