Orion Core 35

Purchased as my first ever investment into the roto-molded cooler design. Chose this company first and foremost because it's an American Made company, and secondly upon the reviews I had researched. This cooler by far is the best damn cooler I've ever owned! Having a family of 10 we use it daily for fresh ice and it's durability stands up to my tough trade as a blue collar heavy equipment operator. This cooler serves my family well and we are very proud of the quality American Made cooler we own and display it with pride.

My wife bought me an Orion 35 for Christmas to supplement my awesome Jackson Mayfly. The cooler itself is solid and I was excited until I found that gear tracks are not included on the cooler and that there are two ugly pre drilled holes on each side where the once standard tracks should be. Now I have to pay $50 to order the tracks for my fishing accessories. Poor form Jackson....

Came sooner than expected. Greatly quality definitely worth the price. Great size not too big and not too small. Holds ice great for days. Would recommend to others over similar brands. Only disappointed because it didn’t come with a pad for the top.

I worked in the outdoors industry a few years ago, and used coolers made by Orion and other major competitors. Orions were the staff favorites.

First of all, you can actually put 35 quarts into an Orion 35 quart cooler, as opposed to some competitors’s products. Second, the coolers have steel hardware where appropriate, and weight saving aluminum in other spots. I like the bottle openers at every corner. The carrying handles are comfortable to use. All coolers at this price point seem to keep ice about as well as one other, so it’s these little touches the differentiate the best.

I have one complaint with several Orion 35s I have used. Sometimes it is very difficult to open the lid. (Hydraulic adhesion?) Sometimes you can pop the lid open with no issue, other times you need a screwdriver to break the seal. I’ve never experienced this in the larger Orions. Jackson, please come up with a solution.

Overall, I think the Orion core series is the best value in coolers. Period.

Best cooler on the market. The buckle locks are the game changer. My wife hates all the other rubber strap coolers.
