This will be the bomb

Yep, one day when it is actually available. I think I paid for mine back in June....

From what I read they had to redesign it due to poor ice retention.

I am not terribly impressed with Milwaukee and their coolers.
I purchased the 16qt one. It leaks water. Tip it on the side and it leaks out around the hinge.
Contact their warranty and they tell me to submit it to my local service center. Tried to find one that deals with Packout stuff and nothing is available. Replied to their email and never heard back.

I bought the Ridgid version of this cooler. It's pretty nice for the money ($70). But it doesn't keep ice like a Yeti style. But a 30 pack never lasts 48 hours anyway.... I would never spend more than $70 for a cooler

Yep, the small Packout cooler sucks for ice retention since it doesn't seal up tight (and it should for $109....). It's worth it to me for the ease of access for day trips. No dealing with straps or tie downs and it holds ice just as good as any other cooler that size if you are in and out of it all day. The packout makes it a lot easier for younger kids to get in and out of it for drinks/snacks.

I heard a rumor that they were on the same truck as the Fox QS3 front shocks for the Pioneer 1000's ... o_O

Everbilt here - $40 on sale, throw it in the fridge a day before use (just like boiling water in a thermos), line the bottom with frozen water bottles, dump in the drinks\ice and the ice will last days
