Rotomolded coolers vs cheap coolers: Rotomolded wins for multi-day trips

Rotomolded coolers (Yeti, RTIC, Pelican, Orca) keep ice 5-7+ days, while cheap Igloo/Coleman lose ice in 2-3 days. The key is thick plastic, heavy insulation, and rubber latches. Yeti is priciest with great service; RTIC is nearly as good for half the price; Pelican is bombproof; Orca has a nice drain plug. Pick one without wheels, 45-65 quarts for a group of 4-5.
