We meticulously researched, then bought and tested some of the best coolers with wheels on the market so that we could objectively identify the top wheeled coolers. Whether you're looking for the best wheeled cooler for the beach or for camping, we cover it all in this video!
We did hands-on testing and used these coolers over the past several months while out camping, hunting, and fishing. We hauled them over different surfaces including pavement, gravel, grass, and sand. We torture-tested them, contacted customer service for each manufacturer, and did our utmost to vet whether or not these coolers are great or garbage. We found some of the best wheeled coolers and some to avoid.

@mrDmastr19 5 дней назад

I’ve found the secret to keeping ice 🧊 in the cooler is pre cooling all your drinks, and if possible, pre cooling the actually cooler inside itself. I do that and use just a basic igloo wheeled cooler and people are blown away at how the ice lasts 2 days in 118+ degree weather in Laughlin NV. Put all your drinks in the fridge before packing, and if you have a freezer that fits the cooler itself, put it in to cool it- if not, use one or two bags of sacrificial ice to precool the night before. You’d be surprised at how well that works. The great part is, no one is gonna steal your “expensive cooler” but ironically they should because the drinks inside are probably colder than all the people out there that just put room temp drinks in their “yeti’s”.

@brandonjchurch053 11 месяцев назад

I have the ROVR 60 and the handle is like the Yeti and Rtic. I also have mailed them with questions before I purchased it and they responded the next day. The customer service response by ROVR was the reason I pulled the trigger on it. I hate that you did not have the same experience. You can also get beach wheels for the ROVR. I have these as well and they work awesome at the beach. I do live in Florida so that was the other big selling point for me. Thanks for your reviews, I appreciate the time you put in and the information is very helpful!!

@outdoorempirecom 11 месяцев назад

Well that's all great info, thanks for taking the time to share! The RovR 60 handle definitely looks better and I'm glad you had good customer service from them. Those beach wheels look pretty cool.

@trishaleaver3581 4 месяца назад

He is a Yeti fan boy. Obviously. He visited the Yeti factory 😂. I also own the Rovr 60. It’s far superior in every way. The inside design with the dry bin is genius. Plus I tow it with a bike sometimes. I would purchase the 45 but not until they change the handle. Telescoping handles and sand do not mix.

There’s something to be said about the light weight of the Coleman like you mentioned. Besides being inexpensive I appreciate the lighter weight especially as I get older. I looked at some of those expensive coolers and besides the exorbitant cost I didn’t like how heavy they were.

You're absolutely right! I think for most routine uses of a cooler, the lighter weight and lower expense of that Coleman makes a lot of sense.

@invaderjoshua6280 2 месяца назад

So your main problem with the Rovr is you got the wrong one. The Rovr 60 and 80 have the same heavy duty handle the Yeti has. They are by far the best out of what you have in that group. The Rover 60 is also much closer in size to the Yeti tundra with the wheels that you have their.

I just really like how the Igloo Trailmate looks. Stands out from all the others. Everywhere I go, it’s always Yeti. But damn, $400-$500 is crazy money. Guess it’s worth it though if you camp frequently and need it to hold ice for several days. Gonna probably go with Trailmate, my use is park days and beach days.

@outdoorempirecom 2 месяца назад

The Trailmate is awesome for park days and beach days, no doubt about it. Just make sure you have the space for one. They are big and bulky, takes up almost the whole cargo bay in my Honda Pilot. But not a big deal if you have a pickup.

I have the igloo trail mate. First one purchased had a handle that didn't work first day. Took it back and got a replacement. This one's handle lasted about 2 years before not extending. I still used it, not comfortable though. I am around 3 to 4 years of using it and recently one of the lid hinges broke. Wheels are still good and keeps things cold about 5 days.

@outdoorempirecom 11 месяцев назад

The only cooler i've had that was water tight was a canyon outfitter. It has a foam type seal that worked great but seemed to get stinky and stay that way. If you left it open to dry after use it would probably be fine. They have a wheeled cooler but i've never used one. Engel and Yeti are my favorite two brands that i've used.

I can't seem to find the Coleman Xtreme anywhere, looks like it's been discontinued? And idea where I can grab one?

@outdoorempirecom 11 месяцев назад

I just noticed that as well. I think you can still find them in some retail stores and maybe Amazon. But I suspect Coleman is replacing the Xtreme series with the 316 series. So if you can find a Coleman 316 wheeled cooler (amzn.to/43TF8OS - affiliate link, FYI), that is just as good. I have one without wheels that did just as well as the Xtreme for ice retention. And I've seen the wheeled version in a store and it is basically the same kind of build as the Xtreme. So I'd say they are functionally equivalent.

@fattykardashian4446 Год назад

I wish the white igloo had a lock feature to hold the lid closed. Brother knocked his over walking to the beach and lost all his ice. But rolls amazingly in the sand.

@Murfdigidy Год назад

Excellent review and like the categories you rated. Like others have stated the two main ones missing that I think would be important due to popularity and quality would be the Moosejaw 55qt rolled and Orca. As far as price goes the moosejaw is cheaper than the rtic which is very competitively priced in the rotomold category. My only worry is ice retention, I haven't tested it, but looking at in the store it's super durable, easy to roll, and easy latch system. But I get it, you're not going to have every cooler and you rated 9 which was super helpful, thanks for taking the time! You talked me out of buying a Rovr I saw on Facebook market that was only 200! Even for that price I don't think it's worth it just given the fact you didn't like the handle and the latch system, Im a big latch guy, nothing I hate more than going in and out of a cooler where the latches are annoying

@outdoorempirecom Год назад

Great input! Thank you so much for taking the time to comment. I've definitely got my eye on the Moosejaw. The Orca wheeled looks solid as well. And ya, not a fan of the latches on the RovR and DEFINITELY don't like the tow handle. But I suspect the RovR RollR 60 would be a much better bet because it doesn't have the same retractable handle as the 45. So that could be an option for you.

@andym8262 11 месяцев назад

I'm really torn between the Rtic light 52 and the Rtic 52 with wheels. Is there a size difference between the two or are they the same?

@outdoorempirecom 11 месяцев назад

So RTIC only makes the one cooler with wheels and it's the ultralight. If you're looking at the regular ultralight vs the wheeled ultralight, the capacity is basically identical though you have some little bump outs inside the wheeled version. They're the same in build quality and ice retention. It's really just a matter of whether or not you want the wheels. And they're pretty sweet if you'll move it around a lot, but if you'll leave it in one spot most of the time like on a boat or something, the wheels might be annoying. Oh and the wheeled one has that silicone net and the regular ultralight has a second drain plug. But neither of those features are particularly special so I wouldn't figure them into a decision. Good luck!

I've handled the newer Yeti wheeled coolers too and indeed their telescopic handles are way better than the ones I have. However, I still prefer the Tundra Haul style. Sand and grit could still give you guff. But to each their own.

@theunchartedtrucker1113 11 месяцев назад

@@outdoorempirecom thanks for the great videos and the reply. Yep I agree sand could add trouble but for my use and probably many others it would not be dragged in sand.

@badkid73 11 месяцев назад

The burly lid of the injection molded cooler (like Pelican Elite 50) will not warp up at the ends like the thin rotomolded lids like RTIC or Yeti when sitting outside in hot sun. Even the Rotomolded Pelican lids are significantly thicker and resistant to warping. I’ve seen lots of cooler failures, but the biggest disappointment is a lid failure. I am a fan of Yeti as the designs are the most compact for the volume provided, but all thin rotomolded lids will eventually warp when left out in hot sun.

@outdoorempirecom 11 месяцев назад

From what I've seen among these and many other coolers is that it is not that rotomolded coolers have thinner plastic than injection molded ones, but I believe it's the plastic compound itself. Rotomolding is done at a much lower temperature than injection molding. So I think that high heat resistance of the plastic used for injection molding makes it more resistant to high outdoor temps. Rotomolding usually is done between 250-400 degrees F, not super duper hot.

@badkid73 11 месяцев назад

@@outdoorempirecom IM coolers like Pelican Elite and the discontinued Otterbox Venture have a polypropylene shell while most rotomolded coolers use polyethylene. It is true that polypropylene is significantly more rigid and has a higher melting temperature than polyethylene. Polyethylene is more wear resistant. Despite the marketing claims for rotomolded coolers, it appears that manufacturers of rotomolded coolers are using the less desirable plastic.

Awesome review man! The igloo is on sale for 199 rn at best buy I was thinking about buying it but kind of leaning towards the rtic now...whats yoye thoughts? Is the rtic worth the extra 100 bucks rn with the igloo being on sale?

@outdoorempirecom Год назад

Ya know that's a good deal on the Igloo. However, I think the Trailmate was a bit overpriced in the first place since it's still the cheaper blow molded construction, so not near as tough. I think $300 for the RTIC is a fair price and if they ever put it on sale it'd be a great deal. Depends. The Trailmate is bigger and has all those cool features and accessories, but it's also really bulky so if you don't have a truck it'll be a pain to lug around. The RTIC holds ice longer, is tougher, rolls better, more compact, just doesn't have as many doodads. Both are good, but personally I'd go with the RTIC because I have no use for that Igloo Trailmate.

@TXMusicDrummer 24 дня назад

Regarding these coolers, what about leaks from the drain plug? I ask because I recently bought an Igloo Maxcold Latitude model based on ice retention. Compared to a Coleman I've been using, the Igloo Maxcold did a far better job with ice, but their screw in drain plug constantly leaked water and soaked my carpet; thus, I returned it after less than a week. I like drain plugs, but not when they're leaking, especially if they're brand new. Were any of these coolers reviewed leak proof from the drain plug?

@outdoorempirecom 14 дней назад

Great point, I've had that experience too. I prefer when the drain plug is a male plug that threads in vs a cap that threads onto a male drain, if that makes sense. The male drains have gotten banged up before and cause leaks. In this video, I didn't have issues with any of the cooler drains, but my favorite drain among these would be the YETI or the Coleman.

Given prices and availability in my region it really comes down to Pelican and Yeti. Others that are available aren't that much cheaper.

@outdoorempirecom 2 месяца назад

Between those two, I'd personally lean toward Pelican most likely.

@nickhtk6285 2 месяца назад

@@outdoorempirecom I really appreciate your input. I think between the ability to really seal, the lifetime warranty, and being 120% bear proof (we have grizzlies), Im going to go with your selection. Thank you.

@outdoorempirecom 2 месяца назад

@@nickhtk6285 Shoot, I may have mispoke in my last comment (I was in a rush). Sorry about that! I'd probably go with a Yeti actually, but for the reasons you mention the Pelican is still a great option. I just don't like the wheels or tow handle on the Pelican wheeled version. Although they are more water tight as you say. To be truly bearproof you probably ought to add padlocks with any cooler. Good luck!

@JC-gd3cc 5 дней назад

Yeti coolers are comparable to RTIC coolers except Yeti is almost twice the price. Something about the name and price of the Yeti seems to attract people for some reason.

@outdoorempirecom 5 дней назад

Truth.

@dustins91s10 6 дней назад

Yes I’m sure most of these coolers seals will leak because some people use them with dry ice to keep food frozen on extended trips. It needs to be able to let the carbon dioxide escape to prevent an explosion.

When I reached out to Igloo's customer service they responded relatively quickly, but I didn't inquire about a replacement for this one. They do seem a bit hit and miss, some good coolers and some bad.

Moosejaw ice fort comparison?

@outdoorempirecom Год назад

@Murfdigidy Год назад

Same, I looked at one in the store and I was quite impressed, seemed super durable, easy to wheel, and the latch system was good, not a hindrance. For the price I wouldn't hesitate, I saw they were on sale for a 55qt for like 230. That's cheeper than the rtic wheeled which is the one I was eyeing. Might go moosejaw based on price

@bwalt15 Год назад

@Murfdigidy did you get the moosejaw? I'm interested in it and the rtic.

@michaelreeves7017 Год назад

It looks like the Yeti is made in the USA

@outdoorempirecom Год назад

As I understand it, they do make some coolers in the US, though it's not always clear which ones. I know the YETI Tundra Haul I have was made in the Philippines. It says so right on the box it was shipped in. The YETI Tundra 65 (no wheels) I have, however, says Made in USA on the box.

@albinorhino1313 9 месяцев назад

I can’t stand the rubber straps, they always fall down in the way to closing it, then you have to re open it to move the strap and close it again. Gets annoying after using it all day on. Especially on a boat when you’re rocking around or on plane. A pointless step to closing a cooler

@outdoorempirecom 9 месяцев назад

Agreed, it often takes two hands free to close them. I like some others I've seen where they latch from the bottom instead of top. Check out my best rotomolded coolers video to see what I mean.
