3 Reasons to Choose a Rotomolded Cooler for Freezing Weather

Rotomolded coolers use thick, tough polyethylene that won’t get brittle in subzero temperatures. Injection-molded coolers from big box stores use thinner plastic that cracks easily when dropped or bumped in freezing conditions.

Brands like Yeti, Pelican, Engel, and ORCA make rotomolded coolers that last for years. They cost more upfront, but they are essentially lifetime gear.

Leave a little room for expansion when filling with ice in subzero weather. Even a burly rotomolded cooler can crack from the inside if ice has no space to expand.
