Looking for the Best Coolers on the market? No one likes soggy food from melted ice cream. Fortunately today’s high-tech “super coolers” can keep your food on ice (and not in water) for well over a week. That makes them a must for tailgating, camping, and fishing trips. Even better, they’re great for holding hot BBQ for hours before serving.
To find out which ones really deliver, I put seven popular coolers through a battery of tests for ice retention, heat retention, leakage, and durability, including pushing them off the back of a pickup truck. The Cabela’s Polar Ice Cap 40 held ice the longest, at more than two weeks, with the Pelican Elite 50 close behind, while the Yeti Tundra 45 drained the fastest. Check out the best cooler test results here, and read each full cooler review below.
