Rotomolded vs injection-molded coolers: Pick based on how hard you are on your gear

Rotomolded coolers (Yeti, RTIC) are tougher and hold ice for days but are heavy and expensive. Injection-molded (Igloo, Coleman) are lighter, cheaper, and fine for a day or two. Get rotomolded for camping or truck beds; save money with injection-molded for tailgating. Don’t buy a tank just to look rugged.
