It seems like every cooler these days boasts impressive insulation and durability. The Adventure Cooler offers those things, as well as a drink friendly height. This added height not only has room for upright two liter bottles, but also makes it far more comfortable to sit on.

I took this on a three day getaway. It worked like a charm! The ice was still in it after the three days. It fit plenty of food for two people and all of our meals. It seems like a pretty sturdy cooler. The only thing I don't like about it, is the drain cap. About day two it began to slightly leak. Little puddles would be left when I moved it somewhere and even though I attempted to drain it as much as possible before we left, it still leaked in the car a bit. I would totally recommend this as a more affordable alternative to a Yeti, but I still want to save for a Yeti cooler.

Solid, great size and shape, good gasket, lifetime warranty. Water does NOT spill out when the cooler is tipped. Only negative is the plastic latches, I hope they hold up.

Just finished a 2 month road trip with this baby. Perfect amount of space for enough food & beer for 2 people multiple days of camping. Usually put 5-10 lbs ice in it and it keeps ice for at least 2 days in the hot desert, 4 or 5 days in colder weather. Great value for the price.

Holds up to the claim of 4 days of ice. doesn't keep it as long as the yeti's but at a bit more of a reasonable price.

I have wanted to upgrade my cooler game for a long time but can't bring myself to spend the money on a Yeti just yet. This seemed like a solid choice and I am happy with it. Just took it on a weekend trip, froze a hydration bladder as my main ice pack. It was in the cooler from Friday to Sunday and the bladder was almost completely frozen still. Hardly melted. I am very happy with its performance. I still might say for a Yeti or similar of you have the cash but this definitely did a great job at a fraction of the price.

Really nice alternative to the expensive and heavy Yeti other heavy duty coolers. It's a great size as well, and does keep ice much longer than your average cheap cooler.

Great medium sized cooler that kept ice frozen for days. I really like how deep this cooler is and I think it is the perfect size for a weekend camping trip or BBQ.

I've taken this adventure cooler on all my summer trips this year. From a weekend car camping in the Wind River Range to a week in Yosemite. I filled up a 2 liter bladder with water, froze it, and threw it at the bottom of my cooler. Everything stayed cold for a full 3 days without needing to add any ice. This cooler also makes for a killer seat or stool (if you're short like me) and has a super durable construction. Hit me up for any more details - Expert Gearhead jelam@backcountry.com

I recently got married up in Idaho and my wedding guests had to ride a bus 30 minutes to the wedding venue. And it is always important to keep your guests hydrated! I picked up this Stanley Adventure Cooler to put on one of the buses and it worked wonderfully. Beers, mimosas and lots of water kept my guests happy the entire way. Plus the drinks were still cold hours later after sitting in the sun thanks to the double wall foam insulation. I look forward to using this cooler for many more summer adventures with my new wife. Feel free to shoot me any questions on this or other coolers. Kyle L. - Expert Gearhead - klivingston@backcountry.com - 801-736-4337

Solid, quality cooler. As others have said it has the space for about 40 aluminum cans or equivalent. It is somewhat of a cube shape which helps it fit in the car along with other gear. Keeps things cold a lot longer than a standard cooler.

Holds about 40 beers. Great design for fishing, car camping, tailgating, etc. This thing just feels like it is built tough. I especially like the dual latch closures and the handles. I plan to use on fishing trips and for Burning Man. Rated for 4 days of cold. Will report back with results and performance notes.
