How can they be utter crap? Pop an ice pack in the flap and they'll keep things cool for several days. They're made really well, better than anything I have seen so far and they are very practical. Go on, explain in detail why something so good is in your opinion, utter crap? I'd love to know. Thanks

'Used' no, but looked one over in the tackle shop, yes. Seemed very good, but it doesn't offer the same flexibility of the Cotswold system and I would maintain, until you've used something for a while, hard to say if it'll go the distance. Korda gear does have a reputation for looking great and then falling short after extended use, they then bring out a mk2

Have used both so yes I can compare,the cotswold did not keep things cold at all compared to the korda.The level of insulation on the korda is over double of that in the CA.This is korda's first time doing luggage and I can't think of anything they have done a mk2 of.I owned all CA gear and it is not worth the money imo,speero is better quality and half the price.My CA rhino carryall faded after only a few uses my speero is still like new and been out in all weather's.

Because they don't have good insulating properties at all. They dont keep stuff cold for several days unless it's cold weather anyway. They aren't even as good as the cheapy bag I replaced with my ca one. Like I say I use CA kit and I really rate it, other than the cool bags. They really aren't good at all.i use mine to hold some bait last year across the pond and the frozen boilies I put in where completely thawed on the first day and rock hard and dried out by the end of the second.
That's how. Told. Thanks

I respect your opinion, just wanted to understand it, that's all... I've had no issues whatsoever with the insulating properties, none. I put a large ice block in the flap and even two days later it's often not melted down. Contents stay chilled for several days using them. When pike fishing down at Chew Valley for a few days, I've managed to keep deadbaits frozen for the entire trip. They're really well made and I like the way the whole system can be interchanged to suit. May be the way I am using them works better than others? No idea, but I think they're great. Thanks for explaining by the way, appreciate it

Mk 2 stows, mk 2 crimps., etc. Plenty of examples of Korda gear that didn't make the grade and the it gets sorted and re-launched with 'improvements' .
Over double, that impressive. How are you measuring the level of insulation between the two bags? Which size Cotswold and Korda bag did you run this test with? Can you tell us how long, for example, the Korda bag you used kept something frozen for and what the ambient external air temperature was?
Thanks. Might buy one myself if they're that good. Always keep an open mind if something better comes along. Appreciate the feedback, thanks a million

I brought the cool bag last year on recommendation on here and it's superb for 48/72 hours always just chuck a frozen 2 litre bottle of water in the bottom

Which compact cooler is this 1 mate? Is it the £100 rubbery square style or the one that matches the luggage range?

Talking of there compac cooler bag range, does any one own one? Or are there a copy of the trakker chilla bags

Thought it would be mate, looked a good bit of kit to be fair 👍

It is very good,I really rate it.It holds plenty too.I do put my snacks in a different bag so I'm not opening the coolbag up too much

SO as Inspector71 has logged on since I posted my question and not answered ?
>> was he pike fishing in mid summer ? <<..... I can only assume he was fishing for pike in the winter or colder months ?
and if thats the case !!
how can he compare his coolbag with ones that are being used in the heat of the summer
as in the colder months 2 of Icelands insulated carrier bags one inside the other at £1.50p each would work as well if not better
