At first when you see the words cooler and OtterBox together, you may think to yourself ‘that can’t be right.’ But one look at the cooler and there’s no mistaking the OtterBox DNA. And why wouldn’t a company that has risen to success building protective cases for electronics be able to figure out how to build protective cases for your frosty beverages? If you haven’t noticed, the premium cooler market has exploded recently. What used to be a job for a cheap piece of Styrofoam or something you picked up at the local megamart, coolers are now serious business. But when you realize that they’re capable of keeping ice for up to 14 days and bear resistant (yes, bear), it’s not really fair to lump these modern marvels in with their practically prehistoric cousins. That is especially true once you see how many other features the OtterBox Venture series has built in…
Seemingly much more than a cooler, OtterBox founder Curt Richardson says that this is part of a new direction for the brand.
“I started OtterBox in 1998 as an outdoor brand, and we’re refocusing our efforts here in a big way. Our new coolers deliver on the OtterBox commitment to innovation, quality and our customers.”
Initially, the coolers will be available in three sizes, the Venture 25, 45, and 65. Designed and manufactured in the U.S., the coolers use rugged construction that has been torture tested to ensure it will stay intact if dropped empty or full. The coolers are so robust that if you use the OtterBox Locking kit (sold separately) it’s certified bear resistant. Good to know if you need to use your cooler as a bear bag in the back country.
Extending the functionality of each cooler, there are interior nesting grooves and a rim that allow the accessories like the cutting board and storage tray to rest on the inside, or to offer separators to keep different compartments inside the cooler. The outside of the cooler has supports for a side table, cup holders, and even drybox clips to maximize your storage and its potential use. Of course there is a built in bottle opener as well.
Features:
- Sturdy, user-friendly latches that snap securely closed and hang out of the way when the cooler is open. The design allows for easy one-handed close and open.
- Anti-slide rubber feet: keep Venture where it’s put.
- Durable integrated handles that double as tie-down anchors and offer a comfortable, stable carry.
- Slanted interior bottom for easy draining.
- Interior nesting grooves, cutting board and storage tray rest on inner rim even when fully loaded.
- Organization slots to create custom compartments (Separator sold separately).
- Each Venture cooler is true to size: Venture 25 provides 25 quarts of internal capacity, etc.
- Customizable experience with a variety of durable accessories, including a bottle opener, cup holders, dry storage tray, cutting board, side table and drybox clip.
- Backed by OtterBox Limited Lifetime Warranty.
Priced at $249.99 -$399.99 depending on the size, the OtterBox coolers are the same price as a similar sized Yeti cooler, only with more features. Each cooler will be available in three colors, Hudson (white and blue), Ridgeline (tan and green) and Back Trail (Realtree Xtra camo). Joining the coolers are the Elevation Tumbler line with 10, 20, and 64oz stainless steel, copper lined vessels. Again more than a tumbler, the Elevation line includes a number of accessories like a cocktail shaker lid, french press lid, flavor infuser lid for tea or fruit water, or a thermal lid for things like soup. Price ranges from $24.99 for the Elevation 10 to $89.99 for the Elevation 64. Available soon on OtterBox.com or at Best Buy.
