Its roto-molded resin construction uses polyurethane foam filling and a double-wall design to keep ice frozen for up to 7 days. This durability solves the common problem of soft-sided failures or plastic cracks in cheaper coolers. You get a single-piece shell that absorbs impact better than competitors while protecting your gear. It works where cold matters most, including multi-day hunting camps, ice fishing trips, and tailgates held over several days. \u003ch2\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eExtended Ice Life\u003c\/b\u003e Superior insulation and a freezer-style sealing gasket hold ice temperatures for up to 7 days in real-world conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eRugged One-Piece Shell\u003c\/b\u003e Roto-molded manufacturing creates a seamless body reinforced with an indestructible hinge to withstand abuse.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSecure Drainage\u003c\/b\u003e Large and small recessed drain plugs are permanently attached by chains, preventing lost hardware during field drainage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eIntegrated Utility\u003c\/b\u003e Stainless steel bottle openers serve as integrated lock plates, letting you secure valuables without carrying separate locks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eOrganized Storage\u003c\/b\u003e The included cutting board divider, hanging basket, and cup holder turn the lid into a functional prep station.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCatch Measuring\u003c\/b\u003e A permanent 20-inch ruler on the lid allows accurate length measurement without contaminating your hands with scale or slime.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch2\u003eBest For\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIce fishing expeditions requiring exact catch measurement and extreme durability on ice.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMulti-day fishing or camping trips where resupply is impossible and ice retention is critical.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTailgating events where convenience tools like built-in bottle openers improve the guest experience.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUsers needing dry ice compatibility for specialized cooling applications beyond standard beverage service.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch2\u003ePro Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePre-chill the cooler interior with ice before loading food and drinks to maximize the 7-day ice life from the start.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse block ice alongside cubed ice if you plan to leave the cooler closed for extended periods out of direct sun.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClean the dual drain plugs after every trip to remove salt or debris; the chain connection makes rinsing easy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePosition the cup holder in the lid compartment and route cords through the drain area if connecting to a battery bank for portable gear.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe 45 QT rating supports a high volume, but packing efficiency improves when stacking flat items first and filling gaps with smaller containers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch2\u003eWho's This For?\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIce anglers who demand a sturdy cooler with a built-in measuring rule for documenting their catch.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBackcountry hunters transporting game meat who need reliable temperature control over rough terrain.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvent organizers managing long outdoor gatherings that require drink security via integrated bottle-capable latches.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBudget-conscious buyers seeking lifetime warranty coverage and roto-molded build quality at a competitive price.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch2\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCapacity: Rated 45 QT; holds approximately 28 cans (12 oz) assuming a 2:1 ice-to-can ratio.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMax External Dimensions: 26.7\" L x 16.6\" W x 16.3\" H.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExternal Bottom Dimensions: 24.75\" L x 14.5\" W.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternal Dimensions: 20.2\" x 10.6\" W x 11.6\" H.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 23.15 lbs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstruction: Single-piece roto-molded resin, double-walled with polyurethane foam core.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaintenance: Dry ice compatible; food-grade materials; UV-protected exterior.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncluded Accessories: Free cutting board\/divider, hanging basket, and cup holder.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLatches \u0026amp; Locks: EZ Lock latches with stainless steel bottle opener\/lock plates; indestructible hinge.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty: Lifetime limited warranty.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003ch2\u003eWhat types of drain plugs does this cooler have?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Viking Series features both a large and a small drain plug.
