I have the korda one and really rate it but I do like how the fox has double zips and the pads on the bottom to protect the base

Been looking at the Fox 20L but is that the internal measurement or overall size?

Looked at at few vids but they dont really say. It does look fairly large tho. I have an old 16l esp and the fox does look larger than that inside.

It's the internal volume. I've got one, when it turned up the overall size surprised me.
As for Fox v Korda they are basically the same, the Fox one has a better base and handles IMO and it was cheaper than the Korda.

I think the Korda is smaller as well.

As I posted in another recent thread

I've not used the RM but did from Wednesday morning to early evening friday last week with day temps from 25c to 28c. Used the korda compac cooler, put a frozen 2ltr craven Dale milk bottle one end with a very cold one next to it. Put my aqua cool bag tight to these with fruit in it and on the other side my meats and a frozen bag of mixed veg on top. When I got home the frozen milk was still ice cold with probably half of it still frozen, the meat that I hadn't used was as cols as it would have been if kept in the fridge. Expensive but I'm very happy with it so far

This was 2 years ago...I'm bumping it because I want to know what cool box is best now.
I would like something that keep things frozen for 3 days if possible.

I think 2 days frozen will really depend on what you are using it for. If you whacked bait and ice blocks in either and didn't open it for 2 days then I reckon it would stay frozen. If you open it 4 -6 times a day for milk and supplies I think you'd struggle depending on outside air temperatures.
These new breed of bags (and I've had both) allow some much ‘coldness' to escape with each opening, are fairly difficult to open (as the zips are so tight/good)..

I recently rotated ice packs every two days and kept it ‘fridge' like as had a freezer on site.
