There's another thing to consider that pushes the Moosejaw over the top. Take any 2 coolers of identical construction, be they both Moosejaw or both Magellan or both Yeti, if they are of different sizes, the larger one will have an advantage because of its higher thermal mass. I suspect this means the Moosejaw is a clear winner.
Great comment. I also think the color of the cooler makes a difference. There was a 20° difference in the surface temperature. If they were the same color, we might have seen a different outcome . Thanks for watching.
@@everydaysouthtexan got it for 150 plus tax. It didnt have the clean ice tray but moosejaw sending it to me free of charge. So walmart is putting them on clearance because they have sold the moosejaw brand to dicks sporting goods! Thanks for the review!
Sharp eye, that is kayak anchor. Thanks for watching this cooler really held up in the south Texas heat. Most people would try and keep their cooler in the shade, but I really wanted to test it.
I literally bought the Moosejaw this evening a few hours ago while making a grocery bill. Ive been wanting a really nice ice chest for a while and saw this one on sale. I cant wait to give it a go!
As a fisherman, which do you like better, Magellan or Moosejaw? I do surf fishing and was looking for something new recently.. I just can't make a decision.
I don't think you can go wrong either way. I prefer the Moosejaw only because the wheels can role over anything. Magellan does have a marine cooler, but it doesn't have wheels. The marine white reflects the heat and sun off the surface, so that helps ice retention. It also depends on how much space you need. Do you need 55qts or 75qts. Both are on sale right now. Here is a link for the Magellan marine cooler. www.academy.com/p/137080742?sku=white Let me know what you end up going with. Thanks for watching.
Not a fair comparison comparing a 70qt to a 55qt filling them both to capacity. Should have at least filled both with the same amount of ice. I always see these videos with unfair comparisons a lot. Also comparing $400 coolers with way more insulation to $60 coolers or even $100 coolers for ice retention. Very unfair. It should be even comparisons across the board. $100 coolers with other $100 coolers. 55qt coolers with other 55qt coolers and so on to be fair.
I agree with you there. The only thing that is the same about these two is the price point when I purchased them. I mainly wanted to show ice retention for both of them and how they performed in the south Texas heat. Thanks for watching.
I think the sale is over. It looks like the 45 qt is back up to 199. Here's the link for that www.academy.com/p/magellan-outdoors-pro-explore-icebox-45-qt-hard-cooler
Yeah that was a good sale I wish I had paid 199 for mine. They usually go on sale a couple times a year I bet they will again for labor day. Thanks for watching.

@@everydaysouthtexan they have one at my local walmart for 150. Its clearance. Would you buy it again?
I would definitely buy it again, especially at that price. Thanks for watching.

@HJGJR44 that's god to know that moosejaw has good customers support. Glad you got a good deal also.
Kayak anchor 👀. Thanks for making this video dude. Your the first one that’s truly tested it
Sharp eye, that is kayak anchor. Thanks for watching this cooler really held up in the south Texas heat. Most people would try and keep their cooler in the shade, but I really wanted to test it.
My moose jaw(50 quart) has held most of its ice for 4 days now having it in the backseat of my truck in this Texas heat.
Very impressed with it
They are solid coolers. I hope they keep making quality products. Thanks for watching.
@@everydaysouthtexan man for the price you can’t beat it
No, you can't. They can't keep them on the shelf of my local Walmart.
Great price and easy to pickup stocked at Walmart. Just bought the Moose.
I think you will be happy with the performance of the cooler. Tha ks for watching.
Good job. Thanks for making this video. Both coolers are a keeper
My only complaint for the Magellan is that they need bigger wheels. Other than that, I am happy with both. Thanks for watching.
I literally bought the Moosejaw this evening a few hours ago while making a grocery bill. Ive been wanting a really nice ice chest for a while and saw this one on sale. I cant wait to give it a go!
I think you will be happy with it is a solid ice chest. Thanks for watching.
the color of the cooler makes a difference as well. Dark coolers attract more sunlight and heat. Light coolers or white coolers have an advantage.
It definitely does. Thanks for watching.
The MOOSEJAW is 148.00 with free shipping from their website. Just ordered one!
On Moosejaw's website, it says the cooler is good for dry ice down to -109.3 degrees F. At least thats what it says for the 50 quart cooler
That's good to know. Thanks for the info and for watching.
The 55qt one also says the same thing. Dry ice capable as well!
I got similar results with my Moosejaw here in FL. I wonder if upgrading to the new Rtic 72 wheeled cooler is worth the extra cost.
That's good to hear that quality is the same. I am interested in the Rtic 75qt I might have to check it out. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for the review
Thanks for watching.
Have you noticed any rust on the metal on the cooler?
I have not. I keep it in the garage when not in use. Thanks for watching.

I can’t find that 199 anywhere???
I think the sale is over. It looks like the 45 qt is back up to 199. Here's the link for that www.academy.com/p/magellan-outdoors-pro-explore-icebox-45-qt-hard-cooler

Yeah that was a good sale I wish I had paid 199 for mine. They usually go on sale a couple times a year I bet they will again for labor day. Thanks for watching.
