Frequently Asked Questions From Customers

How long will a CaterGator cooler hold ice?
Ice retention relies on a variety of variables, including ice quality, type of ice (cubed, crushed, dry, blocked), ice quantity, environment, sunlight exposure, and much more. Due to the diversity of external factors and the lack of industry standards for ice retention measurement, precise timeline claims are difficult to accurately predict. Often these ice retention claims (X number of days) are generated from simulated environments and are not practical in the real world.

These high performance CaterGator coolers, however, offer virtually indestructible, triple insulated polyethylene construction that, given our thorough testing, offer unbeatable ice retention for all your adventures. To maximize your ice retention, minimize exposure to direct sunlight and other impacting variables.

This is the best bang for your buck, period. I use this for keeping large pieces of meat cool for many days. It holds ice equal time to my Yeti, RTIC, and ORCA coolers. The latches are much better and solid feeling then the RTIC and Yeti. The feet don't come off when sliding the cooler like the RTIC coolers do. And the plug chain is a nice feature so you don't lose the thing. The corner metal bottle openers are great to hook locks through when your in need to chain or secure the cooler. I own 3 of these Cator Gator Coolers and will keep buying more.

Bought this for ice retention on my fishing boat and I couldn’t be happier. Save some $ and buy this cooler. I’ve used the other well known brands that cost hundreds more and this CaterGator is as good or better than the others.I’m in the tropical sun all day and i have ice for days. Happy Captain.

I bought this 170 qt. CaterGator on-sale for an elk hunting trip in Utah. I strongly recommend, as it fit an entire quartered bull elk and kept ice for the return drive to Texas.
