igloo water coolerRefunds are issued to the original form of payment, unless returned in store where some exclusions may apply. As soon as bestcooler.reviews heard about this beauty from Igloo, we were excited to find out more about it. I am proud to say that we were not disappointed, but let us not get ahead of ourselves.
From holding your phone to accommodating a shade umbrella for the entire family, this cooler has you covered. As for toughness, the cooler is comprised of an aluminum frame and utilizes stainless steel hardware. You don’t have to worry about this ice chest falling apart when you are towing it to your next adventure.
Igloo states that their Trailmate Line has up to 4 days of ice retention. Compared to premium rotomolded coolers with huge gaskets and aggressive latches, 4 days would not be anything amazing. For most people, having enough ice to last for a long weekend is more than enough. To help with body toughness and ice life, Igloo has installed a thick layer of Ultratherm insulation in addition to its patented Cool Riser Technology.
The no-slip grip combined with the aggressive tire tread means that you can place this cooler on uneven surfaces and slopes without worrying about it falling over or rolling away. We never get paid for our reviews, this way we can always keep it real with our fans. We were sent a sample to check out with the understanding that we’d give our honest opinions.
These stands are made of aluminum though they are wrapped in rubber grips for traction when you stand the cooler. They make the Igloo Trailmate Journey Cooler super stable when you want to lay it flat after hauling it around. The grip is no-slip, and the tread on the tires is very aggressive. You can actually place this cooler on a slope without having to worry about it rolling away or falling over. One thing that certainly helps it remain tough, even though it isn’t rotomolded, is the fact that it has a very thick layer of insulation around it.
You will also find an antimicrobial liner that helps to offset bacteria growth and is very easy to clean up as well. In addition, it comes with an anti-skid base that helps to avoid creating scuff marks on your boat deck. One area that the Igloo Trailmate Cooler excels at is its features. There are a ton of great features that Igloo has included that makes these ice chests stand out from just about everything else on the market.
igloo soft coolerWe found its performance and overall quality to be less than what we had hoped, though its price is not much less than many of the seriously impressive coolers we tested. Additionally, its telescoping trolley handle provides an ample amount of space between the front of the cooler and the backs of your heels. This added space makes the Igloo the only wheeled cooler we tested that we never hit our heels on – a pretty big deal.
