160qt cooler

Anyone try one of these ? seems like a pretty good deal for $100

That's a great deal IMO!  They're known for making great fish cooler bags.

Coho Vs. Yeti: Which Is Better?
It is a tradition on our website to compare the newer brands to a milestone such as Yeti. However, it is going to be extremely difficult to pull this one through since they are simply too different.
Thus, in brief, Coho is a highly limited brand with decent performing coolers on both ends while Yeti is a conglomerate with enough coolers in one individual series to drown Coho entirely.
Also, Yeti coolers are definitely tougher and are consistently more reliable. Nonetheless, Yeti coolers are also double or triple the price of Coho coolers and that’s something to keep in mind.

They had the coho cooler bags at costco for like $50. Maybe I shoulda grabbed one?

The zipper sucks, I passed on it.

Did you overfill the bag with fish? 

After looking at the Coho Cooler web page, I seriously doubt that you would get a 160 qt cooler for $100.

The Costco price sign is in the picture he posted.

Your right I screwed up it's a 165qt. The Coho smaller coolers were priced higher the 165 doesn't look as robust as the smaller ones or a Yeti but still looks like it would do the job and wasn't really heavy. The top had one of those little doors and cup holders so wouldn't make a good seat.  http://www.cohooutdoors.com/165QTCooler.html

Would be worth a try if ice retention is better than Igloo colors

I’d be interested in how they perform, too. Especially at that price!

Yetis are even more than dbl or trpl - here is a 160qt:

My concern is finding coolers with good ice retention that can hold 36" yellowtail or tuna. The largeest Yeti and RTIC coolers aren't large enough. Even if they are, the cost of more than one cooler is prohibitive for someone who only fishes once a year. So, the Coho 165 may be worth a try at the low price of $99                                                                                                     .

Check the inside. I don’t think that’s the one comparable to Yeti/Rtic cooler. I’m not sure if that’s the same one I was looking at Costco. The one that I saw had a flimsy inside lining comparable to your typical coolers, yet the outside looks heavy duty.

Oooooo, the great cooler scam, yeti on the outside, dollar store in the inside...I’ve seen some make yeti diy’s.  Drill some holes and fill with foam if they have hollow section, especially the lid...

I need to get on this.  I've been stalling for way too long.  will it make a yeti? no prob not. but it will make that igloo that much better.

I saw one at the Costco too. Seems nice for $100, but not like Yeti of course... Looked better than Igloo though...

The 55qt one was more like it, but little bit more $.

Don't have use for 165qt coolers though...
