The Best Coolers for Every Outdoor Adventure


The weather is finally warming up and that can only mean one thing: it’s time to get outside! Whether you’re hosting a backyard cookout, packing up for a camping trip or just heading to the park with the fam, having the right cooler can make or break your day.
Now, not all coolers are created equal. Having the right size matters more than you might think. Go too small and you risk running out of space before you’ve even packed your drinks. Too big and you’re lugging around way more than you need.
We'll let you in on a secret… the best cooler isn’t always the biggest one. It’s the one that best suits your needs. As you start planning your outdoor adventures, it’s the perfect time to figure out what you actually need and want out of a cooler.
Go Big for Backyard Hosting
When you’re feeding a crowd, you need serious capacity. The BrüTank 55qt is built for enhancing your gathering. The world’s only 55qt insulated cooler is perfect for backyard parties, camping weekends, days at the beach, and even sporting events.

BrüTank’s removable 2.8-gallon drink tank with built-in tap lets your guests pour their drinks without having to dig through ice. Its puncture-resistant all-terrain wheels make for easy transportation (yes, even at the beach). An included dry rack to hold your dry goods and snacks, keeping them separate from ice and drinks. Toss in the built-in bottle opener and up to 7 days of ice retention and you have a cooler ready to work as hard as you do.
Pack Smart for a Mobile Day Out
For more involved adventures, the BrüTank 35qt wheeled cooler is your go-to. While the BrüTank 35qt is 30% lighter and more compact than the OG BrüTank, has all of your favorite features, but in a more portable size. Its all-terrain wheels make it the perfect companion for RV trips, beach days, and long days at the park. Its decrease in size doesn’t come with a loss of features. With a 1.8 gallon drink tank and built-in tap, it’s got enough room for lunches, snacks, and drinks for your whole crew (without making getting it in and out of the car a whole ordeal).

Perfect for a Picnic
Sometimes, you just don’t need a full size cooler. You just need something cold, close, and easy to carry. Our newest member of the BrüTank family is here to change the compact hard cooler game.
BrüTank 20qt carry cooler is built for adventure, easy to carry, and ready for whatever the day brings. It’s also equipped with your favorite BrüTank features like a soft-grip carry handle perfect to easily to grab and go! A built-in bottle opener, gone are the days of digging through the countless places you could have packed the bottle opener. Grab your drink, pop it open, and enjoy. A built in tap 5 days ice retention; forget to unload the cooler when you get home? No worries. The BrüTank 20qt will retain your ice for up to 5 days, keeping everything nice and cool until you remember!
No wheels, no bulk – just grab and go. It also makes a great backup cooler for times you just need a little extra space or something easier to carry. Keep your main cooler stocked at your campsite or back at the car and car the 20qt wherever you need!
