YETI
amazon.com
Trendy brands don't always create the most effective or durable products—but Yeti is the exception. Two-inch-thick foam-insulated walls will keep everything inside cool. Plus, it's certified as "grizzly-resistant," in case an unwanted visitor comes by your campsite while you're not around.
Hydro Flask

Hydro Flask is known for its super cute reusable water bottles, but the brand also makes pretty solid coolers. This insulated tote claims to keep its contents cool for 48 hours, and Amazon reviewers are more than happy to back that claim up.
Coleman
amazon.com
Given their size, transporting hard shell coolers isn't always the simplest task. Luckily, this cooler has durable, all-terrain wheels, so you can roll your cooler with ease.
Igloo
amazon.com
Is tailgating season upon us yet? When it is, you're going to want to take this portable cooler. Its narrow design makes it ideal for packing up in the car. It also doubles as a seating option if your trunk is full.
