Hand-Crafted Yellowstone National Park Hard Cooler
The original, often-imitated but never equaled and still undisputed champion: Yellowstone National Park stands alone as the forerunner of all National Parks. This place is more than a Park, it’s 3,500 square miles of Wild West. You want geysers? Yellowstone has about 500, roughly half of all the geysers in the world. Oh, but you want a geyser that’s erupts predictably? OK, sure, got six of those. You wanna stare down grizzlies, wolves and buffalo? That’s dumb - those animals will kill you, but all of them can be found in Yellowstone. Take ALL of that, put it on top of a the dormant super volcano currently powering the geysers that WILL erupt someday, destroying everything we now enjoy and if that’s not exciting enough for you, go back to your X-Box.
Inspired by this wild yet fragile place, Cordova Outdoors has partnered with like-minded artists to celebrate and illustrate Yellowstone National Park. Like Zion, our hand-crafted hard coolers are beautiful and rugged. Made in America and, while nothing lasts forever - not even Yellowstone - meant to be around for the long haul.
FEATURES
- American Made - From design to finished product, we take pride in the fact that our rotomolded coolers are hand crafted from start to finish in the United States.
- Keeps Cold for Days - When pre-cooled, (getting the insulation in the cooler cold, which will melt your first batch of ice) the foam used in all Cordova hard side coolers is robust enough to keep your refreshments cold for days on end.
- Certified Bear Resistant - The Interagency Grizzly Bear Committee has independently certified our coolers as “Bear Resistant” when the bear locks are utilized. If you want to see how the test is conducted (with real bears and real Cordova Coolers) click here. Spoiler alert: It’s awesome.
- Patented Lid Lock - Nobody wants a heavy lid to smack down on fingers when retrieving ice cold refreshments. The Lid Lock™ system keeps the lid up and locked in place at 70° and 90° for as long as you need it to.
- Top Loader Latches - When prepping for travel, every inch of space counts. We use Top Loader Latches™ so you can pack tight and access what you need without moving surrounding gear.
- Anodized Aluminum Handles - Anodized aluminum handles are bolted together, rock solid and lock in place when carrying to provide the perfect grip with no swinging or binding.
- Built-In Bottle Opener - Forgetting the bottle opener at home is a drag but have no fear! Cordova has you covered with a bottle opener built right into the sturdy aluminum handles.
- Anti-Slip Goat Feet - We didn’t name this cooler component Anti-Slip Goat Feet™ for nothing. Goat Feet™ pads won’t budge and keep your contents steady on a variety of surfaces. Added bonus: they prevent the cooler from directly touching hot surfaces, which greatly improves ice retention.
- Advanced Delrin® Drain Plug - Quickly drain excess water without losing efficiency. The drain plug is engineered to keep your cooler tightly sealed to maintain maximum ice retention.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our cooler wraps are made from premium vehicle-grade vinyl, specifically engineered for outdoor durability.

Each collection cooler is made-to-order, crafted specifically for you. The customization process typically takes about 10 business days, from order to completion. Once your one-of-a-kind cooler is ready, we’ll ship it directly to your address.
Absolutely! We offer two ways to create a unique cooler design:
- Use our website's custom lid graphic designer to personalize your cooler.

Custom coolers are perfect for events, company gifting, weddings, and personal branding. With a custom design, your cooler will never get lost in the crowd—and our in-house design team ensures a professional, eye-catching result that's as unique as your adventure.
The Lid Lock, a patented feature on the cooler body's top back edge, securely holds the lid open until intentionally shut. Our rotomolded lids, heavily insulated, alleviate concerns of accidental slamming, ensuring safety during use.
Why top-loader latches? Place our cooler in the bed of a pickup truck with the latches facing outward. Then, standing beside the truck, reach in and open the cooler. The reason will be immediately clear.
Yes. Click here to see video of the test. Find out more at: IGBC Website.
Rotational molding (roto molding) produces a cooler shell that is one seamless hollow piece. There are no glued joints in the body, so durability and performance are objectively superior to injection molded coolers. It is a more expensive, complicated, and time-consuming process, especially when done domestically (our factory is in Idaho), but we employ good people to make great coolers that will last a lifetime, and beyond.
Try to pinch your hand between the handle and the cooler body. Now lift the cooler and see if it feels like you’ve got positive control. That’s why. As a bonus, the design isn’t just pretty, it’s functional – bottle openers are integrated into each side plate (another patented feature of our hard coolers).
There is an art to ice retention. Don’t just toss a bag of ice from the grocery store in your cooler and expect it to last a week. That won’t get it done. Put in the prep work and your Cordova cooler will absolutely perform as advertised. Here’s how to do it:
- Freeze our Packice units solid ahead of time and use them as the base of your cold-keeping strategy. Yes, it’s like we’re trying to sell you more stuff, but they WORK and extend the life of cubed ice by 30%. A ratio of 10 qts of cooler capacity to 2 lbs of ice pack is decent. So, two two-pounders are good for the 20 qt cooler. Four four-pound Packice's will handle an 88 qt. When in doubt, use more Packice.
- Unless it’s colder outside, bring your Cordova cooler inside 24 hours before you plan to pack it.
- Fill the cooler with ice to bring the temperature of your cooler’s insulation down. This ice will melt relatively quickly as the insulation cools.
- Drain the water and fill your Cordova cooler with Packice, your provisions, block ice if you have it, and then fresh cubed ice.
- Use COLD ice. (Ice, like water, does vary in temperature. Ice that is dry to the touch, as opposed to wet and slippery, is colder and will last longer.)
- Packice is the best, and block ice is preferable to cubed ice – it will last longer.
- An ice to provisions ratio of 3:1 is ideal. Prechill provisions when possible.
- Air is the enemy of ice retention. Fill the cooler up. If there’s extra space with all the ice and provisions packed and you don’t have any more ice, use towels, foam, anything that will take up space and hold the cold.
- When in use, keep the lid closed and latched unless retrieving or returning provisions. Ice retention drops by about an hour for every minute the lid is wide open.
Absolutely. If possible, isolate the dry ice by wrapping it in a towel or putting it in a box. Dry ice will freeze anything in direct contact with it. You can also use a combination of dry ice (frozen CO2) and regular ice (frozen H2O). We recommend dry ice on the bottom, ice on top of that, then your goods, and a final layer of regular ice on the top.
Yes. All plastic used in every cooler other than Obsidian is made from virgin material and is indeed food safe. Our Obsidian cooler is made with the same FDA-approved, BPA-free polypropylene as the rest of our Basecamp Class™ coolers, the material has simply been reground and remolded.
Out of direct sunlight, in a cool dry area, unlatched, with the drain plug removed (if applicable), and placed inside the cooler so it’s easy to find, for ventilation.
