I collect Cool Boxes for fun 😂
I've got a Donetic Cool ice 13 which I use for fishing in the summer months and also I use it for my BBQ'ing, when I slow cook Lamb or Pork I put it in the Cooler wrapped in foil and Towels, it keeps meat piping hot for Hours after I've removed from the heat.
As a Cooler, it does what I need it to do, I'd definitely consider that one you asked about, looks a good bit of kit.

I was looking at that Roadie mate in 24 litres and unless I'm wrong that is touching £180 on amazon? I'm sure you've probably found a cheaper deal.
By comparison, I paid about £150 for my Icey-Tek 40 litre (no strap) and just under a ton for their 18 litre box which does have a carry handle.
Personally if your taking the misses, I reckon 24 litres might be a bit on the small side. I'm off to Lakemore later this month with my new girl for a few days and nights and the 40L box will be rammed.

Ive had the dometic 20 litre i think it was and it was ok. Icy tec 25 was built like a tank but far to bulky. Had yeti roadie 24 for a couple of years and it been superb. Built like a tank, suberp strap and much better shape than icy tec as i can get it in the footwell or behind car seat which i could never do with the 25 litre icy tec. It only looks smaller inside as its more of an upright shape to the other oblong boxes. The downside to yeti is there price but you cant fault there products as they are brilliant. I cant stop buying there cups as i have a yeti addiction, ive got 8 of them now. I think they might of discontinued the carpy green roadie 24 now though.

I'm going to go take another look at the Yeti,I have one of their cups and it is superb.It just threw me as it looked taller but internally it looked small,I do like the idea of it fitting behind passenger seat of my car too

JIC it might be of interest, Halfords have 10% off cool boxes at the mo and some of them are backed up by a lot of 5* reviews
Oh, and cheapest way to extend cool box staying cold, buy a cheap duvet and wrap it.

10% off at iceytek Coolboxes with code ICEY10.
Why not contact iceytek and ask if they would put a shoulder strap for you 👍
Don't ask don't get is my motto 😄

Nice to hear about your van pal. On the verge of buying one myself for similar reasons, going to convert it. Been looking at a few of the conversion sites. The Yeti ones seem the most popular but are know for having very thick walls, which I suppose is a bonus but this limits the internal space, and they are expensive £.

WOW putting a strap on an Icey-Tek cool box ?
as a tennis player once said YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS ???
I bought a Icey-Tek I never even used it as it was so freeking heavy EMPTY !!!
so if you fill it up I dread to think how you would manage to walk with one on a shoulder strap you will end up with muscles like Hercules or bollix like a Camel !!! yea they are one of the best if not the best at keeping stuff cold but the weight is truly insane !!
cool boxes with little built in wheels get my vote like the Igloo one in my link post 4

The strap on the yeti is brilliant but I must admit i never use the strap, i always just use the side grips to lift it. I couldnt imagine carrying it any distance with the strap as it would be so uncomfortable bagging off your legs and will weigh a ton. Agree wheels are a better option but the ground needs to be perfectly flat or the thing bounces and falls over a bit like a suitcase when your pulling it along.
