Oyster Review

I switched to Oyster from a Yeti due to capacity, lid opening from either side and the overall size. The cooler is kept in the cab so size is important. The 4 stars is because the oyster doesn’t keep ice as long, and the lid often comes off when open from one side. For the premium price I had higher expectations.

A great accessory for your Oyster

Having a handle option is great when taking the cooler on short distances. The strap is superior for longer carrying needs. That said the handle, while quick and easy to install/use, is made from very thin aluminum which can bend and easily deform when not on the cooler. Being thin and lightweight has both advantages and disadvantages. While my handle bent/deformed on first use, Oyster customer service was excellent in quickly resolving the issue. Now I know how delicate the handle is and I manage accordingly.

Best cooler out there!

I've tried many coolers over the years and the oyster beats them all by a mile! I've left it in a hot car camping for multiple days and the contents inside are still cold. It has great carrying capacity despite its small size. Its a great all around product if you need one go to cooler!
