The IGBC certification means this cooler is officially certified bear-resistant by the Interagency Grizzly Bear Committee. It is designed to withstand attempts by bears to access the contents, making it a safe choice for camping in bear country.
While ice retention varies based on ambient temperature, sun exposure, and how often you open the lid, the combination of RotoTough construction and pressure-injected insulation is engineered to keep ice frozen for several days during extended outdoor trips.
The Grizzly 40 Quart weighs 24 pounds when empty. While the rotomolded construction adds significant durability, it does make the cooler heavier than standard plastic models, though the included rope and molded-in handles help distribute the weight.
Yes, the lid features an embossed 22-inch ruler specifically designed for quick measurements while you are out fishing or hunting. It is molded directly into the plastic, so it will not peel or fade over time.
The dual drain plugs, paired with full-length drain channels, allow you to empty melted ice or water much faster than a single-drain system. This design ensures the cooler drains completely even when it is not perfectly level.
Yes, it includes a dry storage tray that sits inside the top of the cooler. This is ideal for keeping items like sandwiches or gear dry and separated from the ice and beverages stored below.
