Our verdict

A large, hand-carried hard cooler for camping and parties. It closes with two latches. There are no wheels, so a full load takes two people to move.

Overview

A camper or tailgater gets a hard plastic ice chest with polyethylene insulation, swing-up handles and a pair of snap-fit latches. The highlights give a capacity in cans as well as quarts.

Reason to look at it: a big capacity in a simple hard shell with a care routine laid out in the listing. The limitation is that it is bulky and has no wheels or ice life figure.

Who it's for

Weekend camping, parties and tailgates with a vehicle to carry the cooler is the situation here. People who must move it far by hand, or want a published ice life, should check other models.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Very large capacity
  • Care instructions provided
Cons
  • Ice retention time not listed

Performance notes

Polyethylene insulation slows heat transfer through the walls, and a tight latch closure limits warm air entering. Ice life depends on how often the lid opens, how cold the contents start and the outside temperature, none of which the listing quantifies.
