ORCA COOLERS REVIEW: This 40 Quart Hard Cooler Really Impressed Me!

[@justsoicanfingcomment5814]

The rubber eyes feet serve a dual function. It keeps the cooler off of the hot ground.

[@trailandkale]

Ah yes, although after having been on the ground for a short while its own shade cools the ground down

[@helend2820]

I love the color and whale fluke handles! Pretty 'cool' ;-)

I wonder if Orca sells the drain cap in case you lose it or breaks.

[@briantodd4887]

Also curious if it would fit on the floor of backseat of a subaru outback if front passenger seat is pushed upward. I do alot of car camping and seems like this is a good fit. Great video

[@trailandkale]

I have a feeling they do sell them

[@trailandkale]

Hmm not sure as I don’t have any experience with the Subaru Outback unfortunately. Have you got roof top storage?

[@trailandkale]

*a rooftop storage rack

[@briantodd4887]

@@trailandkale I have roof rails and cross bars

How is the ice retention? And you didn’t mention the best part of the ORCA brand…they have a lifetime warranty!!! Way better than the standard 5 years with the rtic and yeti

[@trailandkale]

Oh yes that lifetime warranty really speaks to the quality of ORCA's products. Ice retention has been very good!

[@matts6551]

When compared to a white cooler Yeti, orca won in the ice retention test

[@practicaldave]

How much does it weigh? I've seen different weights online?

[@trailandkale]

30lbs for this size. More info in my in-depth review here: www.trailandkale.com/gear/orca-cooler-review-40-quart/

releasing air is good if it is empty?

[@trailandkale]

Don’t think it matters

[@trailandkale]

Let me know if you have any questions in the comments :)

[@AlonsoPalacios09]

Orca 40qt vs RTIC 52 QT 🛞🛞??

[@trailandkale]

depends if you need more space or not. Both brands do a great job of insulating!

[@jaspalriat6001]

Dimensions??

[@trailandkale]

38x18x17 inches

[@jaspalriat6001]

@@trailandkale 38” wide is huge. It doesn’t seem that wide in the video!

[@robgerety]

when it won't open you have to let air IN not OUT.

[@trailandkale]

Doesn’t the compressed air inside need to be released out of the cooler in order for it to be equalised? And hence pressure released making it easier to open?

[@trailandkale]

Unless of course air was sucked out of the cooler when it was packed (creating a vacuum), which I doubt but it’s possible! Otherwise it being packed at a different altitude to where I opened it, or heat could have changed the internal pressure too.

[@whatfreedom7]

@@trailandkaleor maybe due to temperature change. I’m guessing it’s warm then cools down. Luke when have a drink bottle open outside then go stick it in the fridge it will shrink the bottle.

The lock holes are to make it bear resistant 🐻
