I bought one at a yard sale for 1$. The thing is awesome.

The basic grey. I wish I would have splurged on a better cover because it’s going to cost me $1500+ to replace all the pieces

I disagree. Bought an Igloo marine cooler earlier this year. Think it’s 90Q. Cost under $100. For the price, I’m thrilled with the quality. My Yetis still get most of the work done, but for a cheap backup that Igloo is spot on.

I have no knowledge of this company or their product, aside from seeing their commercials.
But man, is LoveSac a terrible name.

Cool, hope it works out. I feel like either jacket will definitely last you a long time when you find out which you like more.

I agree. Bought a tiny red classic cooler for my work truck and the damn handle and side grommet (that swings the cap shut/open) broke within a month.
This cooler was my grandparents and it was always the staple cooler out every holiday outback. Packed with ice and snacks/beer/soda/water.
They upgraded and bought a very fancy expensive different branded cooler and gave me this as a hand me down. Hoping it’ll last until the day I die, it works beautifully.

I would assume it keeps drinks cold for a really long time also?

That's exactly why I do it. I know how far that $100 can go, but I really don't care if she spends it on the classroom or not. She deserves it!
I make a regular habit of giving money this way. I've been doing it since my son was in daycare. Sometimes I can only swing $50 at Christmas, but I also gave my son's kindergarten teacher a thank you card at the end of the year with $30, and then when school started this year we donated some extra supplies to his classroom.
I am the furthest thing from wealthy. But my dad has always been a staunch supporter of giving cash, and I think it's better than trying to guess what someone likes or wants. Plus people get excited when they get money. At least I do!

Haha yea it’s pretty much the same underground. Most of the actual safest ways to do things are complete MSHA violations so any time an inspector is around is a great time to ‘take 5’ lol

Anker is the way to go, my Powercore 20100, has gone through a stupid about of abuse, since 2017, I honestly thought it would die from being in left in freezing outdoor conditions (garden gym & motorcycle) overnight, but it's held up amazingly.

So far has never popped open on me all this time. And it has taken some harsh falls as you can probably tell by looking at the pic.

Those guys are something else. Whenever they rolled into the quarry I worked at all work stopped. You went back to the office and didn't talk to them. Some guys were pretty chill, in and out in a couple hours. Others would absolutely scrutinize everything. Find the dumbest shit to write you up for. That hook and winch you've been using for the last 20 years to pull and move rocks stuck in the jaw crusher? Been good all those years but now? Getting a write-up now!
The place I work for now used to be paired with a quarry but split into two different companies 6 months ago. No more MSHA!

You're giving your kids teacher $100?????
I spend at least $1k a year on supplies for my classroom.
One time a parent gave me a wrapped plate of Christmas cookies and a $10 coffee gift card. It was so appreciated!
