How good is the Compac does it keep stuff cool for a 48hr session?

Easily,I really rate it.The shoulder strap is very comfy and the insulation is really thick on it.The zip really seals it shut well,I used 3 bottles of frozen flavoured water to cool mine.When I packed up on the Sunday the bottle at the bottom still had ice in half the bottle

Without wishing to start a mass debate I personally think the Korda Cooler is the best on the market at the moment for a relatively compact bag. Used with a couple of good quality ice blocks I have had food still chilled in mine after 4 days.

my mate used his for a 7 day session in the heatwave a couple of weeks ago. We topped it up with a bag of ice from the supermarket when I joined him on the Thursday and there were still solid chunks left when we packed up on the Sunday.

Excellent bit of kit.

Cotswold Aquarius, best their is, end of. Others I have had - usually fall apart and you end up with bits of foil everywhere.

I have several of their cool bags in different sizes. It's a modular system where the smaller bags fit into the bigger ones. I just pick and mix according to how much bait I want to take with me. Incredibly well made, they also have detachable straps and a velcro pocket inside the top flap for an ice pack. Had mine some time now, still look brand new, despite lots of use. The Maxi Cooler Bag (3 pocket) is the one I use for food on a session, best on the market IMO and will last for years.

Bare with me, for those mentioning coolboxes, a tip, if you find the lid or sides are hollow (common, even with Thermos) drill regularly spaced holes in the outer skin and use canned expanding foam to fill the air gap. You can turn even the cheapest cool box into one that out performs a named brand, if you can be bothered.

I really rate Cotswold gear, I use it. But the cool bags are utter crap. I have one of those too and it looks nice but that's as far as it goes. It's insulating properties are poor to say the least

I really rate the Costco Titan Deep Freeze bags

they say keeps ice for 2 days but I found a frozen bottles of water lasts at least 3 too 4 days and not SILLY money !!!! link is in my post earlier in this thread below #29

some of these fishing brand ones are 3 to 4 times the price and its certainly not reflected in the performance

How can I be wrong? It's my opinion, like everything, it is subjective. I have used the CA cool bags for about 5 years now and they are just brilliant. How long have you been using the Korda bag? I wonder.
