I can recommend
the Costco cooler bag the Titan Deep FreezeĀ® 40 Can Collapsible Cooler
Capacity: no stated capacity in litres, we measured 48 cans (330ml)
Size (HxWxD): 30 x 35 x 25cm
mesh pockets and zipped pockets, lifetime warranty, Keeps Ice up to 2 Days and Leak Proof

This bag has an easy access lid. to save opening the complete top and so stopping warm air coming in Crush resistant hard walls

in the which magazine tests it BEAT the YETI VERSION

I use the previous model to this
they just changed the shape as far as I can tell and its now a good few years old and brilliant folds up compact when not in use its my go too for 48 hour trips

a mate that didnt have a costco card its cheaper in the warehouse got me to get him this new one and you know how hot last summer was !!! and he loves
it cant beat it for a weekender IMHO

EDIT
THE only other one that works REALLY good is the little HI-GEAR Self Inflating 30L Cooler I keep one in the car for bringing home frozen or chilled shopping that came out as a best buy a few years ago in the Which mag tests too

Hi, one thing i have done.
Those big Floor foam tiles with jigsaw like locking lugs, i cut one up so that it fits in top of cooler box.
Only used for dead baits. But put ice packs in bottom of box, plus deadbait i might or might not use in. Push down pad. Above put the few dead baits or whatever in top with ice packs.
Prob do similar this summer, but with food, water etc.

Buy a cheap one and some expanding foam. Drill top and squirt foam it. You tube video if needed. On inside buy supermarket frozen bag and use inside. Mine lasts 3 days I use frozen water bottles as well as ice packs. And make sure its packed out.

Would rather just pay extra and buy a decent one than mess around doing that. Expanding foam is horrible stuff.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
