A compact cooler in the back of the truck simply makes life better for the outdoorsman. Here's a handful of our favorite coolers.... Read more... The post Best Compact Coolers For Your Truck appeared first on Bowhunting.com. Continue reading...
As nice as Yeti's are, I've got a couple colemans that keep ice long enough and I don't feel I have to padlock them to the truck.
These people with the yetis they crack me up. $200 for a small cooler. They also have a truck with like 20 stealth cams laying in the back seat. Hahah what do these people do for a living???? (Jealous) Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
Have had a yeti in back of truck for 6-8 months a year for last 2-3 years. Powerwash it every once in while and been worth money so far bouncing around construction sites. Others have had end up in trash after couple months so no complaints yet. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk
If I was keeping the cooler inside the truck I would probably opt for a hopper. They are really well made, hold ice long time and the design is such that you can squeeze on in places. Outside I think a hard cooler like a 20 or 35 is better. I opted for the Tundra 45 as my compact cooler. Fits in any of vehicles without issue.
I love YETI. I keep the hopper 40 and hopper 20 in the truck and for outside the 110. I also have the bucket for filling with ice and drinks, or it will hold a keg for parties etc. The tumblers are awesome too.
Are the yetis really worth it compared to some cheaper knock offs like the Rtic or ozark trail? I don't mind paying for quality but I also don't like to pay a premium for a brand name if the comparable is just as good. Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
On the many occasions we've been out in very hot weather and taken boats out to the sandbars or on long trips, or been at the camp for a few days all I know is mine are the only ones holding ice for days into it, and everyone is using my Yetis because theirs are holding nothing but slush or warm water at the end of day 1 (Rtics, Orca, Ozark, Etc) Not saying Yetis are the best but in my experience I wouldn't buy anything else.
Thanks. I hear the Cabelas brand are pretty solid too. Anything that requires a pressure release vent to open has to be a tight seal! I always ball up on purchases like this until I do my homework. Lol Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
I can't say rtic or any others aren't just as good but my boss has a rtic just like my yeti and it seems to do job. His is a little rougher than mine and only year old but it probably has a little rougher life than mine ha. Main reason I went with yeti is at time I wanted cooler of that type they were only brand i could walk in to store and walk out with one. Rtic was months out on backorder and stores around me didn't stock others. For me having something shipped vs goin to store is worth little extra money for some things.

I have a Cabela's hard sided cooler and my wife and I frequently camp 5+ days at a time. Keeps the ice cold if you properly pre-cool the cooler. For shorter sessions and what I keep in my 4Runner I picked up a Polar Bear soft sided cooler. Folds flat to go under the seat and holds ice for a full day easily. Had it hold ice as my beer cooler for 3 days on my last camping trip. Believe it comes with a lifetime warranty too. Sent from my Pixel using Bowhunting.com Forums mobile app
