ORCA COOLER REVIEWS

The Orca cooler is many ways one of the best roto-molded coolers in the market and to many is even better than the famous Yeti cooler. I will be doing Orca cooler reviews in this blog so you can make a good decision on its purchase.

The Orca range of coolers are very strong, come with massive insulation which can keep ice for over ten days. They come with an unbeatable warranty and are generally considered one of the best coolers out there.

Orca stands for “Outdoor Recreation Company of America,” and over the years they have stuck to the ethos of their name by continuing to make their products in the US, unlike other companies that have with time outsourced their production. This gives Orca the opportunity to be tight on quality control, ensuring their products meets the demands of customers and creates room for faster innovation.

HOW GOOD IS ITS RETENTION?

As with most coolers, one of the most important things to consider upon purchase is retention, and this is one area where Orca shines as its cooler is known to have more insulation than its competitors. Their coolers have 3 inches of insulation compared with just 2 inches of insulation which most of their competitors come with. This means Orca coolers can hold ice for much longer than other coolers in the market.

Although it’s harder to say how long Orca retains ice for especially since they don’t make coolers the same size as other coolers on the market, but you can expect Orca coolers to match the retention of Yeti or beat it slightly. It may not be better by so much, but it’s likely to perform slightly better.

INDUSTRY LEADING WARRANTY

Currently, Orca is the only cooler that offers a lifetime warranty on every part of the cooler they have in stock. This includes its nylon rope handles, rubber latches, non-slip rubber feet and of course the main body itself.

This is better than what you would get from most other companies which offer warranties for around five years which doesn’t cover parts outside of the main body.

PRICING

Quite recently, Orca dropped the price of their products, making them hyper-competitive in the market despite being the better buy.

The 40-Quart which is the most popular size goes for $249.99, $100.00 cheaper than the Yeti of similar size. This makes them one of the most affordable roto-molded coolers in the market.

FEATURES

The Orca has some pretty cool features which make it stand out from other coolers. To begin with, it is extremely tough, and they can take as much trashing as it gets while remaining cool. It also has non-slip rubber feet which means it will stay in place in your trunk or the back of your trunk without moving around.

Its whale tail rubber latches are a nice touch and will keep the lid secure, so no cold can escape. Add this to a commercial grade rubber gasket which goes around the inside of the lid, keeping cold in and warm air out.

The expendable flex grip handles make carrying this cooler easy for one or two persons, and they can also be extended if needed. This includes a cool cargo net onto the back which allows one extra store stuff like phones, keys, bottle openers or some dry food. It has a padlock too to keep food and drink safe from grizzlies, and a standard 1-inch drain sprout makes it easy to drain after use.

DO I RECOMMEND THE ORCA COOLER?

I think the Orca cooler is awesome and you can’t go wrong choosing it. It has all the features found in its competitors and at a better price. There’s also a lifetime warranty which means you can buy this cooler with 100% confidence so if anything goes wrong, they will take care of you.

Amazon Orca Cooler Review :-

"Arrived quickly and on good condition. Heavy. Don't want to carry it far. Filled with 10 lbs of ice. Lasted good 24 hrs in 80+°. Another 24 hrs with very cold water. Items I put in cooler weren't cold to begin with. Compared to my last cooler, using every day, will save me about $100 month in ice. Truck stops are expensive" -Squirrel

"Good quality, keeps ice longer than cheap igloo, comparable to my Yeti Roadie. Particularly like the storage pouch on back for bottle opener, keys, etc. I wish they would do away with the whale tail rubber closures, they are pretty gay looking. I have already replaced them with aftermarket straps" -Albert Scalpati Jr
