Expert Reviews


What reviewers liked

Personal, travel-sized cooler. Great portability. Ice easily holds for around 2 days.
Ability to choose certain capacities from 20 quarts to 75 quarts.
Like most other high-end coolers, this a rotomolded design with some reinforcements to ensure a perfect seal. This is probably the most robust cooler on the market and holds ice longer than any of the competition.
Maintaining their manufacturing in America has allowed ORCA to maintain a high degree of quality in their ice chests. One great feature we absolutely love that the YETIs don’t have is the mesh cargo pouch that is mounted to the back of every ORCA cooler model. It’s a great spot to keep your phone, wallet, keys off the ground and still within reach.

What reviewers didn't like

Can prove to be a bit heavy for its size.
The handle is below-average as it pops out easily; which can result in scratches.
The downside of that is this cooler weighs 19 pounds empty. The weight is a negative mark for sure.
Despite the smaller sizes of ORCAs having more colours available (black, pink, tan, white, blue and green) the YETIs have so many more sizes to choose from.
