If your budget allows then an iceytek is the way to go, on a lower budget the coleman maxcold take some beating

I really rate the Dometic ones - like the Dometic Cool-Ice CI-22. Keeps things cool and doubles as a seat! I did quite alot of research before going for one of these...

I have also got the 13 litre one.

I've had an Icey Tek box for 4 years now and it's been brilliant. Keeps everything frozen for a week in extremely hot conditions, if you minimise opening. I use the 55 litre one. Cannot recommend highly enough even if it is a bit expensive.

the Best is Iceytek no question about it but that sort of quality carries a hefty price tag too

a cheaper very good alternative is the Coleman extreme

Iceytec, some good stuff online about cooling them down before use, also gerry's tip to drape wet towels over them during really hot weather

Don't know about the best but the igloo ice cold with wheels and pull out handle is very good, as said below.

I've got an Igloo and it's great 👍🏻
I freeze 4 pint milk bottles and all the meat for my weeks fishing to put in bottom, fresh stuff on top with a couple of freezer blocks.
No probs lasting the week

Another thing I do is prep some food before I go and freeze that. More ice blocks 👍

Coleman Extreme is great value for the money.

Get a load of small water bottles, pour the top bit out then fill with vimto, then freeze weeks before you go, take them out in the morning and they last all day semi-frozen while fishing on a hot day, just bang on.

Freeze some big bottles of water.

Freeze all your food.

Get some of those freezer blocks in there too, these can be re-frozen and put back in if you have access to a freezer.

Doing the above with the igloo you can just about get a full week in France in summer which gets very hot.

Don't put your tinnis in though these need to be treated sepertae
