If I was in the market for a high end hard shell cooler I’d buy an Orca. I would buy this over a Yeti.
Its a hard bullet to bite understandably but I get way more use out of my ARB than any other cooler I’ve owned combined.
I agree on the ARB. Can you keep those plugged in all the time? Anyone ever have them drain a battery?

Yes and yes.
They have a shutoff feature that is supposed to prevent a dead battery...on my Brute, I have a dual battery setup that only allows the aux battery to drain down...when I pulled the passenger seat on my JK6 and put the fridge there for my UT trip, I plugged the fridge into a Goal Zero battery source, and plugged the Goal Zero into my power inverter in the Jeep...fridge ran for two weeks constantly with no issues...the Goal Zero can run the fridge for 24 hours, and would fully recharge every day I drove the jeep
The RTIC brand seems reasonably priced too. Never realized so many brands to choose from.
So in the end I don't buy anything and then bitch when I go on a trip because my shit gets all soggy. :gaah:
You just described me perfectly. lol
I rocked a garage sale igloo cooler forever.
I always said I could buy a shit ton of ice for the price of an ARB. Then I finally pulled the trigger. It’s silly how much I love this fridge. It’s the best addition to the Jeep I’ve made.
