I sat down with Jason Costello from Canyon Coolers to hear how he turned an upside-down cooler business into one of the big leaders in Rotational Moulded coolers. Canyon Coolers has a no-fault lifetime warranty regardless of what happens.

We find out why the rope handle, latches, and boating-focused cooler features have made them a leader out west. Features like recessed latch, bear approval, and other great river features are huge for the fly fishing community.
