3 Reasons to Choose an Injection-Molded Cooler for Occasional Use
Lower cost Injection-molded coolers cost $50 to $100, while rotomolded coolers run $200 to $500. For occasional trips, the extra expense isn’t justified.
Lighter weight Injection-molded coolers are much easier to carry to the car or beach. Rotomolded coolers weigh a ton and are overkill for a day trip.
Sufficient ice retention A good injection-molded cooler holds ice for a solid 24 hours, which is plenty for tailgates, picnics, or beach days. The main trade-off is lower durability, but the risk of cracking is low with occasional use.
