Took this camping for the first time the past weekend in Michigan's UP. Held ice and kept food cool for 4 days no problem and could have held the ice and cold for plenty more days. The organizer basket has been far more useful than I thought it would. Its heavy, as they all are, but I think it'll hold up well. I love the latch design far more than comparable RTIC / Yeti style. Love my cooler so far.
Very sturdy construction and ice retention is pretty good. If you pre cool and leave the lid closed it will retain ice for several days. I have the 25qt, it’s good size to put in the boat for a full day of fishing. Picture is ice retention after about 36 hours. Cooler was in the cab of my truck and outside temps were in the 90s.
Holds cold temps up to 10 days, bear proof, airline handler proof!
I have been using for van life. Prior, I had a budget cooler from big box store of 1.5x this quart size and needed to refresh ice and drain water daily during Texas summers to maintain safe temperature. It was a hassle. My Space is limited and the blue cooler has serious insulation, over 2x as thick as the budget brand. wish I had enough room to have larger capacity for the increased thermal mass and was initially nervous about having to fuss with a smaller 30 too much. This summer Ive had the blue 30, only need to refresh it once a week. I love it and the customer service is fantastic.
I’ve ordered a drain cap twice for my cooler unfortunately I was ordering the wrong one , called and apparently the cooler I have was discontinued after a short period and now parts aren’t available, the lady I talked to was very nice and was going to check old inventory, got a call shortly after and they found me one.
The scene in plug could be lost easily. Wish it had a tether. Everything else is great!
