Overview
Igloo makes the Trailmate as a hard shell cooler in high density polyethylene, with foam insulation in the walls and lid. A swing-up bail handle and Sure-Lock latches handle carrying and closing.
The molded shell and thick foam suit day trips, tailgates and campsites where ice has to last. The limitation is that the listing contradicts itself on size, so the spec table and the text must be checked against each other.
Who it's for
Weekend camping, fishing days and car trips where a mid-size ice chest rides in the trunk. Large groups, or anyone hauling over rough ground, may want wheels and more capacity.
Pros and cons
- Thick foam walls and lid
- Hard HDPE shell
- Swing-up bail handle
- Long warranty period
- Description lists a different capacity
- No wheels listed
- Weight empty is moderate
Performance notes
Foam between the shell walls slows heat flow, so ice lasts longer when the lid stays closed and the chest stays in shade. The hard shell resists dents better than fabric. Latches press the lid down against the seal.

Frequently asked questions
How do I clean and drain the Igloo Trailmate?
No cleaning steps are listed. The description mentions a drain plug, but it also names a different capacity, so confirm the features first.
Is the Igloo Trailmate 25 quarts or 50 quarts?
The specs and title data say 25 quarts and 38 cans. The description text says 50 quarts, so the two disagree.
Does the Igloo Trailmate have wheels?
No wheels are listed. It carries by a swing-up bail handle.
