Just have a look in Go Outdoors mate and look at the reviews. I've got one that plugs in the boot of my car, and it's fine. But before that I just had a bog standard one which was also fine. Just get plenty of them blue freezer blocks, and keep it in the shade.

I agree that iceytek are the ones. Bulky and not cheap but definitely worth the extra money over a standard cool box.
Another 👍 for Iceytek
Forget the purpose blue blocks as they are totally sh1t
Better off with frozen water bottles 👍

Icey tec. Heavy and expensive but they definitely do what it says on the tin.

If you don't want to go nuts price wise the Coleman Xtreme 28 is very good

Hi all. Should ice boxes be sealed when the lid is closed. I ask as mine when ice has melted I can tip it upside down and out comes the water?. I have the Coleman xtreme but thinking of getting a different brand.
Thank you.
Thank you.

Hinges are dubious on Coleman. They are plastic and go brittle in the sunlight. Have 3 iceyteks still going strong after 12 years hard use.have broken lids off 2 Coleman 85 l after a couple of years use.no comparison they are bombproof.
If your looking for a 70 or 100 l size a companycalled drawm do real quality ones.
Look on the findafishingboat website under equipment heading.cheers

I have one of these. Put 2 x 2 litre bottles of frozen water in and keeps everything cold, boilies still mostly frozen after a 48hr session in summer. Bottles still mostly full of ice after the 2 days as well.
Been using one for several years now, never had a hinge problem.

Any roto moulded cool box, Icy tek, yeti there's a number of brands, they're almost indestructible and keep ice for days on end, you just have to use them correctly.
I have one of UK Kayaks roto moulded coolers (same factory as the Yeti ones but half the price 👍
I think that's what Dave Lane uses in the camo version, check them out on Facebook

If you can afford it get a yeti, best thing ive ever bought!
For any coolbox to work efficiently it must be filled correctly, lots of space inside and its effectiveness is depleted, also how often you open it to get stuff out affects performance too, don't buy one that is too big for your needs and try and keep it out of the sun.
