Well, Cam was true to his word. CI reworked the hasp/opener and sent me a new one to install and try out.
And I can say that they did a very good job with it.
Works perfectly.
Not sure if this is the final go-to piece or a work in progress but it's made me a happier camper.
Thanks, Cam. And thanks CI. Having a company that listens to customers and solicits feedback is very welcome in our community.

Cam also sent 3 my way for my 26, 52 and 73. Tested with the bottles that previously had broken and the new ones work perfectly. Great Customer Service from California Innovations (company who makes these coolers).

RTIC also got sued and lost for copying Yeti. They might not be a cheap alternative much longer.

True but there is other brands I'd go w first, nothing wrong w the WallyWorld coolers I just wasn't a fan of the latches hinges or handles.
Was surprised to see My local Walmart in the Twin Cities area just stocked up on Ozark Trail coolers and mugs. Last year I could not find them anywhere locally.
Have to give Ozark Trail props for expanding there line of Mugs and soft coolers. Wound up grabbing the small soft cooler for use in the RZR. Can't wait for summer!
Newly procured soft cooler:
But was extremely tempted by there back pack cooler:
I don't know why you'd buy any other brand of mugs. They got you covered in ever shape or form.

STANG302 let us know how well the small soft side cooler performs. I noticed them the other day on the .com. I keep a small cooler behind the drivers seat in my work vehicle, and think the small access "port" would be nicer than fighting a cooler lid while bombing down the interstate.

Well, they've demonstrated that they read the interweb threads and seem responsive to user input.
Keep suggesting.
Port or split lid? I see the benefit of the port but it would also make the overall unit less robust if it was easy to open. An 80/20 split lid would be slick but still be a little hard to open one-handed...

Several of these coolers are now showing up in my local Wal-marts in central Georgia. All three sizes available.
