Is a $400 Cooler Worth It? We Ran the Tests
At its core, a cooler is simple—an insulated box. The closest thing to a bell or whistle you're likely to find is a set of wheels to make your walk to the campsite easier or a built-in bottle opener you can use to pop a beverage. And yet there is a rash of $300, $400, even $500 coolers available that raise the question of whether or not you get anything for spending as much on an ice chest as you would on a smartphone.
The short answer is yes. The smooth, ultra-thick options from companies like Yeti and Pelican have indeed transformed what you can do with a cooler. This summer when I had a house full of people and a fridge full of food, I had to move drinks for 10 into a cooler and lo and behold, three days later there was still ice inside and drinks that were (almost) as cold as when I put them in. With plenty of hot days ahead we tested a whole range of coolers to find what we think are the very best.
