I recently was sent the new DSG Victory 65 Quart Hard Cooler with Wheels from Dick’s Sporting Goods. When I took this cooler out for the first time, I quickly realized that this cooler has a lot of great features that make up this cooler. The first thing I noticed was that this is a very well-made quality cooler. It looks and feels like a very durable high-end cooler. The external dimensions are 37.6 inches high by 29.6 inches wide and 53.6 inches long. When empty it weighs 30 pounds and can hold 67 pounds of ice when full. I was able to pack this cooler with ice and drinks for an afternoon outside in the woods with my dog. The ice stayed cold all day and we still had plenty of ice left in the cooler after day three. This must be because of the thick foam insulation and the heavy-duty gasket seal on the lid. Also, the locking mechanisms on the front of the cooler ensured that the lid was tightly closed making sure that everything remained cold. The cooler itself is very easy to maneuver. The swing up handle and dual wheels makes it simple to haul the cooler from the garage to the backyard or to the back of my truck. The swing up handle is extremely well made and the textured handles ensured a sturdy and nonslip grip every time I moved the cooler. Even when fully loaded with ice it still can move with ease. When using the cooler, I never found the dual locking mechanisms tough to use like I have on other coolers. They seemed very well made and integrated flawlessly into the overall cooler design. In fact, hearing them lock in place when I closed the cooler gave me piece of mind that my drinks would stay cold. The placement of the metal bottle opener is in the perfect place for ease of use. After I was done with the cooler the cap for the drain plug easily unscrewed and the cooler drained fast. The cap on the drain is also well made and I am sure that it will stay in place for the life of the cooler and not snap off like what has happened to many other brand name coolers that I have used. All in all, this cooler will come highly recommended from me. It is everything I want in a high-end cooler. It has earned a permanent place in my backyard for cookouts and at the campsite for keeping our food and drinks cold and safe. Best of all it is made in the USA.
