How long does it take to thaw once you take it out the bag?
And once its out the bag, whats keeping the cooler cold?
I drink a lot of tea and i dont fancy having to have a special scedule drawn up for when i need to get the next bottle out the bag ready to make tea. So ill just stick to ice blocks and a water bottle.

EVEN the most expensive ice blocks are not as good as a frozen bottle of water in keeping your cooler cold
and you dont HAVE to drink it
but you can make the journey back to the car at the end of the session by tipping the water out if you dont want to drink it

I dont drink hot drinks at all so it's no issue for me but having an ice cold drink of lemon and lime flavoured water on a red hot day is heaven.I take four 1.5 litre bottles so when take one out I still have three keeping it cold but I'm taking food out throughout the day so have less to keep cold so it balances out nicely

A wise man once told me to never trust a man who doesn't drink tea or coffee.

Using Square bottles rather than cylindrical makes them pack better so takes up less space.

I've had one of these for about 9 month. They are fantastic. Much better than your normal carp coolbags. Perfect for 48 hours of food and a 4 pack. They are quite pricey but very well made and do the job.

I'm happy with my Argos hard plastic coolbox yep if I need to keep things cool for longer sessions I just stick a 2 litre bottle of frozen water in it.
And if I need it to be carpy I could get some camo tape for a fiver.
It seems a lot of money to me with our very short summers.
Though each to their own 👍🏼

Out if interest why does frozen water last longer than a frozen ice block. If that's the case why don't they put water instead of gel into ice blocks?

It's not to do with the gel or water, it's just the ice inside water bottles are thicker than the slim cool packs, so take far longer to defrost

I've got the Dometic 22l one
I couldn't be happier with it, still had ice after 5 days
For ice blocks I bought 4 bottles of bleach, emptied and washed out the bottles and filled them with water
I had 4 in mine and they had almost thawed out by the 5th day but it still stayed cold for a further 2
Tried to keep opening it to once or twice a day
Very well made and robust
