What Makes the ORCA 58 Quart Cooler Exceptional

Professional Latching System
Heavy-duty T-handle latches provide secure sealing under extreme conditions. These commercial-grade latches maintain consistent pressure on the gasket seal.
Dual Handle Design
Ergonomic flex-grip handles on both ends enable two-person carrying when fully loaded. Stainless steel construction resists corrosion and maintains strength.
Integrated Cargo System
Built-in cargo net attachment points and tie-down slots provide versatile storage options. Perfect for securing additional gear or creating organized compartments.
Commercial Drainage

Maintaining Your ORCA 58 Quart Cooler
Proper maintenance preserves your ORCA cooler’s exceptional performance and extends its operational life. These straightforward care practices take minimal effort but provide maximum protection for your investment.
Post-Trip Cleaning
Clean your ORCA 58 quart cooler immediately after use to prevent odors and staining. Drain completely, scrub with warm soapy water, and rinse thoroughly. Pay special attention to the gasket seal and drain plug area. Allow complete air drying with the lid open before storage.
Deep Cleaning Protocol
For stubborn odors or stains, use a baking soda paste (3 parts baking soda to 1 part water) and let it work for 30 minutes before scrubbing with a soft brush. For persistent issues, white vinegar mixed with warm water effectively neutralizes odors. Always avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the interior or gasket.
Long-Term Storage
Store your ORCA 58 quart cooler in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight. Keep the lid slightly ajar during storage to promote air circulation and prevent musty odors. Inspect the gasket annually and clean it with mild soap to maintain the airtight seal that enables exceptional ice retention.
