Yeti coolers?
Are they worth the high price? I have a 20 year old Coleman Extreme that holds ice for 5+ days in high 80s and 90s.

Not all Yeti coolers are made in the USA. Most are made in the Philippines.
Also thick wall coolers like Yetis burn more ice initially than cheap thinwalls; has to cool all that thermal mass. Its on their website.
Yet isn't that true of all coolers? Meaning chilling the cooler before using it gives optimum performance whether it's thin walled or not. I start by leaving at least 10 lbs of ice in a cooler overnight before loading pre chilled and frozen goods into it. The problem I've noted with thinner walled coolers is there is little or no insulation to keep the cold in once it's loaded.
