3 Things to Know About Cooler Gaskets vs. Insulation

Insulation matters more than gaskets A rotomolded cooler with a mediocre gasket will outperform a cheap cooler with a perfect gasket. The insulation in the walls does the heavy lifting.

Gaskets matter most on high-end coolers On a budget cooler, even a great gasket won’t save you much. On a premium cooler, a bad gasket becomes the weak link.

Opening the lid loses more ice than a bad gasket Most cooler failures come from opening the lid every hour, not from gasket leaks. That’s where you really lose ice.
