I've got a large Coleman for trips abroad but it's too big for just using on overnighters up to say 3 nighters.
I also have a Thinking Anglers Coolbag but just find it doesn't stay cool despite my best efforts to keep it on shaded areas etc.
Has anyone got any recommendations for the best bits of kit out there? Needs to be about the size of an average sized fishing coolbag as it'll be used on the barrow with some fairly hefty walks to swims.

Nash Polar Cooler bags
A little more expensive but very good and hard wearing too
Half price if you shop around

yes I've got the smaller Nash Polar bag and it's very good, keeps stuff chilled for 48 hours, using a couple of frozen 500ml water bottles seems better than ice blocks in my experience

Never really had a problem with the blocks but recently I'm finding them next to useless, I'll try the frozen bottles too!

Icey-tek do some great boxes maybe a little big for what you want but they also do a nice cooler bag and if it's as good as their boxes you won't find better 👍
Ive got a small green trakker cool box that seems to work pretty well. Just about big enough for a two/three night stint for milk bacon sausages etc. Probably not suitable for longer sessions or if you take a lot of food.

I use a 25L icey tec which is big enough for 3 to 4 nights.

Has anyone looked at De Walt? They do a five day fridge I think it's 7.5ltr...

The frozen water bottles definitely last longer than the blue 'ice blocks', if I use my Coleman Extreme then one or two 2litre milk cartons filled with water and frozen are excellent

I've got the 25ltr Icey-tek also and it's brilliant
And as below when I went to France last year I used frozen water bottles and there was still ice in them 3 days later 👍

I bought 2 De Walt tool storage boxes for £25 each. I then scrounged a piece of 25mm cellotex off a builder mate and lined them with it, finally sealing the joints with white silicone beading.
I use one for bait and one for food ( in France one for beer, one for bait) They are very efficient and because they are designed to clip together I've utilised the clipping point so they can be clipped onto a base on the carp porter so they are fixed.
Once in use they are strong enough double up as a Boat seat, or just as a foot rest with my chair. I've had beer in there for days with the ice still solid. Used them last year in France during the 40C heatwave and was a very popular chappie indeed with my ice cold beers
