I don't entirely agree. A cool bag in the heat of summer will do you two nights, a 2 kilo bag of ICE will last 36 hours. A cool box will Keep ice for 48 plus hours so yes cool box with he intent of doing a few days else a cool bag will happily do 48 hours. Don't forget food can reach room temp for 8 hours preferably 4 and arguably for 12 hours.

I'll keep an eye out next summer.
I actually have a tackle bits bag from ngt from this range that I have had now about 5 years and it's been great, thought the zip would break in 5 mins but didnt hopefully this will last too. Bought the bedchaur bag as well so I can keep the bed chair made up with sleeping bag in and not get wet and muddy in transit this time of year. Also keep bugs out my bag in the garage lol

Can even purchase insulated carrier bags these days.
I got mine from Aldi in summer when they have fishing stuff
the Titan 40 can bags in Costco
The published size on these looks too small: L 36.8 x W 10 x H 13.5 cm
Presuming it's wrong, are they about right for three nights with frozen water bottles, say 9 x 330ml cans, and food?
Out of stock at Costco but available from ebay for a few quid more.
Cheers

Without wishing to start a mass debate I personally think the Korda Cooler is the best on the market at the moment for a relatively compact bag. Used with a couple of good quality ice blocks I have had food still chilled in mine after 4 days.
my mate used his for a 7 day session in the heatwave a couple of weeks ago. We topped it up with a bag of ice from the supermarket when I joined him on the Thursday and there were still solid chunks left when we packed up on the Sunday.
Excellent bit of kit.

Cotswold Aquarius, best their is, end of. Others I have had - usually fall apart and you end up with bits of foil everywhere.
I have several of their cool bags in different sizes. It's a modular system where the smaller bags fit into the bigger ones. I just pick and mix according to how much bait I want to take with me. Incredibly well made, they also have detachable straps and a velcro pocket inside the top flap for an ice pack. Had mine some time now, still look brand new, despite lots of use. The Maxi Cooler Bag (3 pocket) is the one I use for food on a session, best on the market IMO and will last for years.

Bare with me, for those mentioning coolboxes, a tip, if you find the lid or sides are hollow (common, even with Thermos) drill regularly spaced holes in the outer skin and use canned expanding foam to fill the air gap. You can turn even the cheapest cool box into one that out performs a named brand, if you can be bothered.

I really rate Cotswold gear, I use it. But the cool bags are utter crap. I have one of those too and it looks nice but that's as far as it goes. It's insulating properties are poor to say the least

they say keeps ice for 2 days but I found a frozen bottles of water lasts at least 3 too 4 days and not SILLY money !!!! link is in my post earlier in this thread below #29
some of these fishing brand ones are 3 to 4 times the price and its certainly not reflected in the performance

How can I be wrong? It's my opinion, like everything, it is subjective. I have used the CA cool bags for about 5 years now and they are just brilliant. How long have you been using the Korda bag? I wonder.

'Used' no, but looked one over in the tackle shop, yes. Seemed very good, but it doesn't offer the same flexibility of the Cotswold system and I would maintain, until you've used something for a while, hard to say if it'll go the distance. Korda gear does have a reputation for looking great and then falling short after extended use, they then bring out a mk2

Have used both so yes I can compare,the cotswold did not keep things cold at all compared to the korda.The level of insulation on the korda is over double of that in the CA.This is korda's first time doing luggage and I can't think of anything they have done a mk2 of.I owned all CA gear and it is not worth the money imo,speero is better quality and half the price.My CA rhino carryall faded after only a few uses my speero is still like new and been out in all weather's.

Because they don't have good insulating properties at all. They dont keep stuff cold for several days unless it's cold weather anyway. They aren't even as good as the cheapy bag I replaced with my ca one. Like I say I use CA kit and I really rate it, other than the cool bags. They really aren't good at all.i use mine to hold some bait last year across the pond and the frozen boilies I put in where completely thawed on the first day and rock hard and dried out by the end of the second.
That's how. Told. Thanks

I respect your opinion, just wanted to understand it, that's all... I've had no issues whatsoever with the insulating properties, none. I put a large ice block in the flap and even two days later it's often not melted down. Contents stay chilled for several days using them. When pike fishing down at Chew Valley for a few days, I've managed to keep deadbaits frozen for the entire trip. They're really well made and I like the way the whole system can be interchanged to suit. May be the way I am using them works better than others? No idea, but I think they're great. Thanks for explaining by the way, appreciate it

Mk 2 stows, mk 2 crimps., etc. Plenty of examples of Korda gear that didn't make the grade and the it gets sorted and re-launched with 'improvements' .
Over double, that impressive. How are you measuring the level of insulation between the two bags? Which size Cotswold and Korda bag did you run this test with? Can you tell us how long, for example, the Korda bag you used kept something frozen for and what the ambient external air temperature was?
Thanks. Might buy one myself if they're that good. Always keep an open mind if something better comes along. Appreciate the feedback, thanks a million

how can he compare his coolbag with ones that are being used in the heat of the summer
as in the colder months 2 of Icelands insulated carrier bags one inside the other at £1.50p each would work as well if not better

Ive just bought a dometic 22 litre cool box and looks really well made and gets great reviews. Its the same price as the korda one but solid plastic with heavy duty clamps so should last for years. I couldnt trust the korda one being material with a zip. The zips on my compac pouches last a month before they broke. Great carpy colour as well its the same colour as the korda one. Was going to get an icey tec but sold out everywhere and they look a little to bulky. I did by a icey tec gel pack for my dometic though. The dometic one must be quite popular as they had 7 left two days then the following day was down to last one so bought it before they sold out.

Ive got a couple of speero cool bags but nothing beats a proper cool box for keeping things cold. Just added a speero barrow carryall to my collection which came today, thats also the perfect size and not to big. Thats my speero collection complete now.

Reading this thread for the first time on a 2 nighter....while looking at my 12 quid tesco special with 8 semi & almost melted ice packs in it. I'm 28hrs in! I currently fear for my beer.
Perhaps i need an upgrade of a paperbag!
But. I do have an igloo box for pike & cat deadbait. Great kit and if mine did not smell like a dead hooker in a heat wave i would use it for food. Works great in summer. Had it for 5/6yrs at least. If you need a small box its good.
Back to my coolbox issue. Do i throw a few quid at Danny for his next holiday or does anyone else rave about the s-tek?

The De Walt one they said
Our verdict: You certainly get what you pay for with this high-performance cooler. With a temperature increase of only 4.4°C across the whole day, this cool box was the closest of the coolers to matching the electric cooler's performance. Its temperature increased by only 0.8°C more than the Outwell electric cooler. And it's durable too, with a dense, rugged design that makes it heavy but protective
it seems like the performance of the ice tek but cheaper ?

As I understand you need a piece of advice. Usually, when I want to buy something I consult more sites where they have a description of the product and a review page. One of the best platforms is Backpacks Global Backpacks.Global. In my point of view is the best because they have articles related to backpacks and they may recommend you the best option and on top of that they have a review section where you can read other's experience. Try to go on their site and for sure you will discover something suitable for you.

However quite often those reviews are posted on receiving the product and have no real basis on how the product performs, just how it looks or on their service with that retailer.
That said there can be the odd review that is useful but very few in my experience.

I can confirm the Hi-Gear Self Inflating 20L Cooler works incredibly well its a sorta cross between a cool bag and a cool box ideal for 24 to 48 hour sessions
