FEATURES

Loading...

1″ Tie-down Slots

Make sharp turns, ride out bumps, head straight up the mountain or to the river below knowingĀ your Kenai Cooler will stay right where you want it with tie-down slots for your truck, boat, or UTV.

Carry Rope Handles

Swing the cooler into the back of your truck or hop on a boat with your buddies with ease. Grab the rubber griped handles and carry with comfort to camp. We have even provided a sleeve over the rope to insure no, sun or water rot over the years, because we know that you cooler is not just sitting in a garage from month to month! It hits the elements and a rope handle should last a lifetime.

Divider Slots

Get the most out of the space inside your cooler with Divider Slots to help separate ice, foods,Ā and drinks. The best way to separate them? With dual-tasking Divider/Folding Cutting BoardsĀ that are incredibly convenient, simple to use, and easy to clean. Buy them here

Drain System

Loading your cooler at the start of your adventure is a lot more fun than draining it at the end.Ā Kenai makes draining easy, fast, and clean with a leakproof silicone gasket and easy grip plug.

Dry Ice – Compatible

Dry Ice delivers long lasting cooling. So, it makes sense that Kenai Coolers are made to workĀ with Dry Ice. Use our coolers exclusively with Dry Ice or mix with cubed ice to deliver theĀ cooling performance you’re looking for.

EcomateĀ® Insulation

We want to protect The Good Land for all of us to enjoy. Kenai Coolers use EcomateĀ® forĀ optimal cooling. We also use it because this unique insulation has no global warming potential,Ā no ozone depletion potential, and is made with no volatile organic compounds.

Grip Feet

You want a secure grip from your boots, your fly rod, to your tires. Why should your cooler
deliver anything less? It shouldn’t. Grip Feet on your Kenai Coolers keep it from moving and
shifting on almost any surface.

Integrated Hinges

There aren’t many parts of a cooler that don’t take a beating. One in particular? The lid hinge.Ā Kenai Coolers features a forward-thinking integrated, interlocking hinge design to perform overĀ a lifetime of rugged use.

Latches

When you’ve got an armful of stuff for the cooler and no one’s around to open the lid for you -Ā what do you do? Give a quick, one-handed flip of theĀ Bearclaw™ Latch and you’re in. So is yourĀ stuff. Secure the latch and the lid won’t open. Genius.

Lid Gasket

A cooler isn’t cool if it doesn’t keep things cold. Kenai Cooler lids seal for optimal insulationĀ even in hot temperatures with a silicone rubber gasket to keep cold air trapped inside to extendĀ the life of ice. Everything for your adventures stay colder, fresher, longer.

Molded Handles

Carrying a loaded cooler isn’t on anyone’s list of favorite things to do. But, this chore is madeĀ easier with built-in molded handles. Just one of two carry options with the Kenai Dual HandleĀ System

Rotomold Construction

If the walls of a cooler aren’t uniform in thickness, the strength and durability of that cooler is
questionable at best. Our coolers are built with rotationally-molded LLDPE plastic to ensure
even wall thickness, durability, and max performance on every adventure.

  1. Rated 5 out of 5

    Cynthia Sauer – July 25, 2022

    This cooler is gorgeous and really works. Kept the ice for 3 days inside. Half the price of a yeti, USA made and much prettier than a yeti. Primarily chose this company because they are local to me (2-3 hours) and the price. But darn if it isn’t the best looking cooler I’ve ever owned!

  2. Rated 2 out of 5

    Ryan Daddino – July 19, 2022

    An okay cooler. Wanted to buy American made and after doing a little looking around decided to go with Kenai coolers. Liked the simple design, color options, and price. When the cooler arrived i noticed it was a bit lighter than other Roto molded coolers I’ve had that were the same size. Initially I was pleased with the overall build and quality. Well fast forward about a week and my opinion changed. I bought this cooler to leave in the back of my work truck. So it sits in the sun for the better part of the day. I noticed the 2nd or 3rd day I was using it that the lid looked a little funny, like it was slightly warped. Didn’t really think too much about it. well then I noticed ice was melting a decent amount faster than the cooler that I had been using previously. After closely examining the cooler, looking in between the cooler lid and the main cooler body the gasket on the lid was not even touching the main cooler body. Paying close attention to it over the next few days I realized that during the heat of the day the lid would warp and not seal completely then once it cooled off the lid would go back to normal. I’ve owned 4 rotomolded coolers before this one and have never had this happen. After reading kenai’s return policy it appears I’m stuck with this cooler. Maybe the warping will just eventually stop happening, guess I’ll just have to wait and see. Probably won’t be buying another Kenai cooler anytime soon.

    Great cooler
    The cooler is awesome. I’m not a huge fan of the latches but it keeps ice cold just as long as a yeti will. Love the cooler and the Lime color. I’m a fan

    Great Quality Cooler and We Love Our Orange colored one.
    I Like Everything about The Kenai. We will use it for Travel, Camping, Tailgates and many other things. I definitely would like to get The Grizzly Icedivider that would be compatible with The 65 Qt. Kanai Cooler. The 75 Qt. is just to Big and I will be returning it. Thank you very much, Bob Sharp

    So happy to find a such an amazing cooler made in the usa! like many people, i was getting sucked in by yeti’s marketing, but strangely i couldn’t find any information about where their coolers are manufactured. i called yeti and learned they are are made in china…no way! compare warranties too: lifetime warranty with kenai versus only five years with yeti. go kenai and go usa!

    April Whidden – April 23, 2021

    I bought this cooler after doing a lot of research and I am so glad I did!! I needed it for a weekend camping trip where ice would not be available. It was quite primitive where I went. The ice held for several days!! I was so pleased with how well it kept my ice that I can’t say enough. Couple of pointers, 1) make sure you cool the cooler before adding your food, drinks, etc. 2) keep the cooler in the shade (if possible) 3) make sure to latch the top so it has a good grip..

    This was the best purchase and plus it’s cheaper than a Yeti and it’s made in the USA!!!

    Whitney E. Brown – April 14, 2021

    I haven’t got a single complaint about this cooler except that it doesn’t carry itself. It’s solidly made, easy to use, keeps ice for a very long time even if you’re sloppy about how long you leave the top open and how frequently. We mostly use it for multi-day camping trips, road trips, and bringing seafood back from the coast. I’ve never used a Yeti, but I couldn’t shell out that much just because it’s the hot (cool?) thing and well-marketed. I’m sure they’re great, but I’m delighted with this one. Happy I took a chance after reading some thoughtful reviews. It is a better cooler than I or probably you need.

    Dan Archs – March 6, 2021

    Update, 1st use breakdown.

    Did NOT precool cooler, Used Grizzly Brand ice divider (owns Kenia coolers), and my cans were pre chilled in fridge.
    I only used 1 half of my cooler using the frozen divider. The other half stayed empty.

    10lbs ice 1st day ( rd side ice machine which isnt the best ice and melts quick) after 36 hrs I only had around 2 cups of water because the divider was refreezing the water as it melted against the divider and along the bottom of cooler.
    Day 3 I added 20lbs of frozen ice. Still only half of cooler. Didnt have but a quart or so of melt off by this point and divider was half melted. The ice last 2 more days before I drained 1.25 to 1.5 gallons of water from cooler and had maybe 7 lbs of lightly frozen ice left.

    This cooler is awesome from my use and my experience with using it. Today I’ve added 20lbs of ice NO divider and using entire cooler and I still only have a cup of water. Temp is 80 degrees constantly and 15 hrs have gone by already. This is still the rd side machine ice, as I said before in a normal cooler 20lbs will melt within 20 hrs for sure by next morning it’s all water. With the Kenia cooler I have easily doubled my ice time if not almost tripling it. And I’m not freezing the ice in a freezer before use. If you freeze this crap ice before use, it can last 4 or so days. If u freeze ice in deep freezer I’m sure it will last even longer because of the – temps with deep freezer.

    Well worth the money spent and saved vs a 600$ equivalent yeti. This cooler will pay for it self over 40 total days, 5$ or more per bag ice, 1 bag per day 200$… paid for that quick. At least with my old coolers this is what I was having to do, either 6$ bag ice from store or 2 rd side bags @4$ per day. Every day and during our Southern 100 degree days I was having to do this twice a day. So by far this cooler out last most on market.

    Now I added 20 lbs of frozen freezer ice to that 10lbs, didnt drain the water. The ice lasted 4 days. I hope this helps someone make the right choice for the money.
    We have a beach trip planned in few months and another updated test results will come after that trip. That test will be outside in middle summer outside 16+ hrs a day in direct sunlight. Will update after words to tell the world.

    Look 5 stars even though ITS LOOKS TO BE USED!!
    yes it is scratched on top and scuffed on side and bottom and it does not smell like a factory cooler smells when purchased. With the way its wrapped and boxed this shouldnt happen if it was brand new. I could be wrong and issues arise from warehouse worshipping problems. But it seems to be a returned item that has been used at least once.

    Overall this cooler is huge, thick, and very sturdy! Cheaper by almost 70% from yeti brand. I’m very pleased with purchase.
    The color is absolutely vibrant and eye catching. I love the stapdown handles and the thick rubber feet on bottom.
    The inside is just amazing you can tell it will hold heat or cold very easily.

    I wish there were more accessories available with the 65 quart coolers.. that’s my only big issue besides the used look.
    I bought a rack from yeti hoping to bend it the .1 inch to fit (judging by measurements provide by companies). I have also bought the 5lbs freezer divider so we can keep usable ice seperate from used ice with the dry ice.

    Camping trip in next few weeks will give a good idea of how well this cooler cools. Will update at that time and let everyone know how this cooler works in real world settings.

    I have not been paid for ANY review I’ve ever left. (I wish I did though) This is, as always, just my opinion through my eyes to help others.

    Some of the best customer service that I’ve ever experienced. Rest assure purchasing from this company as they truly stand 100% behind their products. Would not hesitate to ever buy anything from them in the future. Cooler is a great value for the money, love the lime green color.

    Spencer M. – February 23, 2021

    I LOVE this cooler. First off, the lime color makes sure that my cooler is never misplaced and everyone knows which cooler is mine. Second, this cooler is made by Grizzly Coolers in their Iowa factory to their quality standards. Third, the price of this cooler is equivalent to Chinese made roto-molded coolers, but you support far more American jobs this way.

    All Grizzly coolers accessories made for the 60 fit this like the Ice Divider, which I also have. I highly recommend this cooler and will be buying more (in lime green of course).

    After my Yeti was stolen off my boat, I found this to replace it. Just as good, American made and over $100 less expensive than a cooler made in the Philippines.

    Yes, it’s not bear-proof, but there are no bears on my boat. šŸ™‚

    Win, win, win.

    Held ice for a long weekend trip even with us opening it constantly. With some better packing and being more diligent about opening the lid we could have gotten 5 days before needing to add ice.

    The cooler is well built and reasonably priced for a rotomolded set-up. The latches work fine if you do not need something bear proof.

    Los Blaggos – August 13, 2020

    Bought it for a trip to the Gulf with family friends. We needed to pack in all our food so we needed something pretty large to get everything down there and keep it cool for the 8 hour trip in the blazing Southern Summer heat in the back of the truck. Loaded it up with some ice packs the night before to cool it, which i think is key. Packed it to the gills with food and a bag and a half of ice. Got to the beach house and everything was ice cold. Unpacked it and loaded it up with ice and left it on the back deck (which got just baked by the sun all day with 98 degree sun). Used at as our ice station for drinks all week. When it was time to leave there was still ice in it. there was plenty of water as well, but enough ice to fill a couple yeti tumblers for the drive home. We had some food in the freezer that we needed to pack back and bought some fish from the local fish monger on they way out along with some crawfish boudin (also legit) two big bags of ice and 9 hours later we’re home and the frozen foods were frozen solid.

    Long story short it is a great cooler for about $100 less than other roto-molded coolers of the same size. My buddy had the same size cooler that was left inside and I would say the Kenai out performed it, which I pointed out to him numerous times over the course of the week. Now I don’t hunt bears in the Yukon or go on week long fishing excursions, so we had no issues with the latches which seems to be the biggest gripe. They were snug enough to keep it shut tight but easy enough for my three year old to open up. No complaints.

    This thing is so boss. Got it for the back of my Jeep…honestly never heard of the brand but won’t buy yeti and wanted red. It’s perfect! Have already had someone ask where I got it. I just got it last night so can’t speak to how long it holds ice, but I don’t think that will be an issue.

    I bought this cooler to transport home-grown beef over a two-day 1200 mile trip. The beef and the ice were in the cooler for approximately 31 hours in August heat and the ice I placed on top of the contents looked almost as fresh as when I put it in. Not one package of beef was lost. This cooler performed as well as if not better than the YETI I had borrowed for this trip. In addition, this cooler is made in the United States and sells for a $100 less than a YETI 65 quart cooler. I’m looking forward to purchasing this cooler in the 45 quart version.

    This cooler is one of the best functional coolers we have had. Own three of them! The top of the cooler has molded areas that allow for 2 inch tie straps to be tied down in either direction! The cooler seals well and keeps ice cold and is super comparable to that of YETI and RTIC.

    I bought this cooler to haul groceries and beer back and forth to our boat which is located 3 hours away – not harvesting elk meat in the Yukon backcountry. So far, it has done exactly what it needs to do as a medium duty cooler. Ice retention is great, even getting roasted in the back of a truck topper. We have several YETI coolers and the Kenai seems to be as good or better at keeping its contents cold. The only improvement would be a sturdier latch system. It’s almost too easy to open and close but certainly not a deal breaker.

    Kenai still deserves 5 stars for carving out a section of the crowded cooler market to fill this void at a reasonable cost. Kenai is made by Grizzly in the United States of America – that alone is enough to make me forget about the competitors who manufacture their product in China or the Philippines.

    I bought this over the Y brand because I got a little more space for close to the same price. I like the molded edges and it never leaks a bit of melted water. I like the top surface, it doubles as an extra seat or a table if needed. It does hold ice for a few days. I need to try it a few more times before I decide. I will update.

    The cooler is sturdy, well made, perfect hight to sit on, does it’s job well. but the best part is it is made in Decorah Iowa. Worth every penny.

    Cheers from Chicago.

    Cool the night before, holds ice longer. The trick with like all other “boxed” coolers, is pre-cooling / icing. It makes all the difference. We put ice in it the night of the 5th & by the 10th there was still ice present but ice cold water nonetheless.

    Have in last five years owned a Yeti 65 and a Walmart special and to start the yeti after five year wouldn’t keep ice in 80 deg. weather. The Walmart special the same. I seen the reviews and purchased and right off the bat after two days in 80 deg. weather and sun it keep ice and drinks cold. Am very happy with the purchase.

    Son took it for the weekend. 48 hours later plenty of ice. Barely melted. He was very happy about that. Camping weekend was successful!

    I have had many coolers and this is by far the best. My brother is a YETI guy and can pay YETI prices. He had me use his cooler for a trip and I could no longer go without a rotomolded cooler. In spending much time researching the quality of these coolers, I found the Kenai by Grizzly to be the hidden gem in the roto world. It performs just as well as my brother tundra and has 20 more quarts of space at half the price! I wish it had wheels, but it does fit perfectly into my collapsible wagon. It’s great for camping trips or just keeping your groceries cool during shopping.
