You got a link? I cant find the video and all i see is a $200 accessory for allowing a cooler to slide under a bench.

I found the video, but can't find the glider feet listed among their accessories. I had a smaller Yeti for awhile and those feet drove me crazy. I'm taking my Canyon Cooler on the river next week for the first time. I chose the Canyon because they had the size & dimensions I needed and a slightly lower price than the Yeti. Lots of people seemed to like the Canyon Coolers, and the Canyon folks were prompt & helpful when I contacted them with questions. I wish I could suspend my Canyon cooler from my crossbars, but I use the NRS Cat yokes with the lowered top bar, so I use a drop bag instead. I'm anxious to see how the Canyon performs next week on the Main Salmon.

I've been super happy with Canyon Coolers. Great customer service and easy to get in touch with. I had ice after 21 days on the grand last fall. Seems to be built tough. I have the rubber latches but they can be easily swapped with metal ones. Ended up getting a darker color which I don't think I'd do next time, but still a great cooler.

I just purchased the Sailor 105. Great product. The only issue is the lip on the cooler that it is designed to hang from is not long/thick enough. The latches that keep the cooler closed rest on my frame and make it very difficult if not impossible to unlatch or latch. Especially with a loaded cooler. I'm thinking the butterfly latches may work better but I'm not sure I will be able to switch the latches out easily without re-drilling.

Mine fits in my boat fine for latch clearance, I did have a custom frame made for my raft though. Using NRS parts I am not sure of never been too impressed with handrail boats and the fit and finish. Bought the whole package and got a smoking deal on the cooler so I gave it a try. Seems to work well. Fit and finish is not Yeti but functional.

Mine was built to rest on the side handles as well and it works much better than an nrs frame, it is completely solid with no movement once put in the frame and I dont have to strap around the lid which is nice when I want in it.

Love my "sailor" it was actually an inch shorter than my coleman, one of the reasons I went with canyon instead of yetti. I don't like how tall the yetti and engels are, I think it looks goofy when the cooler sticks above your frame 8 inches or more. Well, after a week still have lots of ice... did no pre chilling, used mcdonalds ice, cooler in the sun all week... can't wait to see how it does when I'm trying to keep ice on deso...
Happy Floating!
