BEST ICE CHEST UNDER $100

In your opinion, which is best or worst or overrated.
Looking for something that can keep ice frozen for 4 days or so.

    You got that right! Crazy expensive. However, when your DW wants to give you one as a gift, how could you tell her no? And she says I'm hard to shop for. She got me the Roadie 20, holds 20 lbs of ice. We had been going through 10 lbs a day (most of it melted) with the last cooler. This should make life easier.


    Yes, But she put it on your Credit Card. go figure..... :S

    I use the COLEMAN EXTREME MDL6270 70 QUART SIZE 5-day ice chest which cost around $85 I think it was a few years back.


    This does us pretty good keeping ice going. I throw in four bags of ice and then place a clear plastic container with a lid on top of the ice. This keeps things inside the container from getting any water soak.

    Keeping ice for 5-days probably isn't doable when you open it the ice chest up to get things out. Definitely get two or three days of still having ice in it.

    I keep my ice chest sitting in the tail gate corner of the covered truck bed and try not to keep opening the lid as much as possible... I also keep a blanket over the ice chest as well...


    This is just one of those things you have to do when camping - keep replenishing the ice and cokes...
