Hi All

Looking for a coolbag that will keep stuff frozen for 2-3days max. I never do long sessions so was looking at the fox/avid/korda options rather than go full yeti/icey tek type boxes.. Anyone used the above. Recommendations please....

I use the korda one, freeze a 2 litre plastic bottle of water and it keeps stuff cold for three days. If I needed any longer I would add another plastic bottle of frozen water.

Yep, find the Korda very good although think im gonna have to use the gel on the zipper again as it is very stiff and i keep thinking the zipper is going to pop off when im pulling it.

Does a 2 litre bottle of water not take up loads of room in it as it doesnt look that big.

I lay three bottles of volvic flavoured water down in the bottom,all my meat and veg goes on top.I keep my fruit and crisps in a different bag so I'm not opening the korda one too much.I have been out in some really hot weather from Friday til Sunday and the water is still frozen on the Sunday afternoon

👍🏻 will u not get more room inside with ice packs? Ive got a yeti ice pack for my yeti coolbox and its quite thin so lies in the bottom so dosent take up much room.

I tend to fish 3 days at a time and find ice packs do a good job but just try not to keep opening the coolbox. My pre-cooked food goes in frozen as well which helps.

Yes you would but there is nothing quite like a nice ice cold drink on a red hot Sunday afternoon after blanking since Friday

I use one of these too for weekend sessions . Does a great job . Not ideal for lugging round a lake but great if you have good access or leaving in the vehicle

Can't beat an ice cold coffee on a red hot morning or indeed a few cold beers in the evening
