Hi,

Thinking about getting one of these and wondering if any users would care to pass on their thoughts.

Expensive at £100 but I can pick it up for £80 so not too bad as it appears to be well made and well insulated with a good seal/zip.

Thanks
Neil

Really rate mine,holds plenty,keeps things really cold for 48 hours easily and is very comfy to carry.I put in 4 bottles of frozen volvic flavoured water in mine as the ice blocks,one of the bottles was still half frozen on the Sunday afternoon.I put my snacks in a separate speero coolbag so I'm not opening the korda bag too much to get at my fruit.I paid the same for mine and would buy another tomorrow if I wrecked this one

Depending on your size limits, you could get a Coleman Extreme 50QT for same price. Keeps food fresh for days. Bit on the large size though. It's on wheels too.

I've recently looked at one in the shop.. definitely a well made item and would have bought one if it was slightly bigger.
Needed something for 3 days food and sadly that won't fit

I looked at them but still not keen on zips on a cool box and one that isnt hard plastic. I think every zip has now broke on my korda compac pouches. I got a dometic one in the end which was slightly bigger and has proper clasps and is solid plastic. Its even a proper dark green colour. Very impresses with it and the same price as the korda one. I bought a icy tec gel pack which fits in the bottom perfectly and keeps everything cold for days. Not keen on using frozen bottles as they take up to much room and there not that big to start with once your food and some beer is in there.

Saves carrying a separate water container though

How do you pour the frozen water?

Take a spare smaller bottle to use to keep hydrated whilst pushing barrow around the lake.When that's running low take a frozen bottle out to defrost

Read what I said,you have already got a bottle that you are drinking from as you walk around looking for your swim.Taking a bottle out of a bag is a faff

Why is it a faf? It's not like you have to actually do anything to thaw other than leave it alone
Are you sure?
