Any better than the Speero ones I hear good stuff about?

Afternoon lads,

For years Ive been on here saying how much I love CA and Jag having been a huge fan, imagine my pleasure when I was fortunate enough to land my dream job as brand manager just over a month ago overseeing the brands and helping to drive the business forward so wanted to share this before commenting.

The cool bags have been flying out, we really cant make them quick enough - one of the best things about them is the marketing and research we did which no doubt you would of seen on our socials which demonstrates the performance of the bags against all of our competition including Yeti.

They are truly a brilliant piece of kit and before I worked here I have and still have Titan bags from costco, trakker and aqua cool bags, ridgemonkey cool box, Yeti Hopper tote bag, Igloo and even two anker solix everfrost for when Im off grid and so I'm well versed in finding a good one

I am very keen to hear feed back from other users and would be happy to answer any questions on the products

Thanks for the support

Speero not even close to these

What would be good is to give us a rough an idea of how much food you can put in them as opposed to just cans of beer!😂

It’s on their website ?

Model

Internal dimensions

Capacity

CB15

300 × 210 × 220 mm (30 × 21 × 22 cm)

15 litres

CB26

380 × 280 × 260 mm (38 × 28 × 26 cm)

26 litres

They sound really good though like all things will be goodvto see some independent reviews.

Probably cheaper to buy a domestic fridge.

Good luck Rob 👍🏻

Ive just bought the smaller CB15 version but it hasnt arrived yet. Ive got a coupe of yeti coolers and they are brilliant and the cotswold one out performed the yeti by a long way in the tests so I have high hopes for it when it arrives.

I can only see cotswold going in the right direction now Jag own them and are designing the luggage now so I can see my wallet getting a lot lighter.

Rob, For the more dedicated anglers, Instead of loads of beers in the cool bag advert how about a practical picture of how much bait/kilo bags the COTSWOLD AQUARIUS | CB15 COOL BAG could hold. 😉

Just ask AI, let’s use a standard can of Coke.

A standard 330 ml Coke can is approximately:

* Height: 115 mm
* Diameter: 66 mm

Your cool bag’s internal dimensions are unlikely to exactly match the external dimensions, but using the dimensions you provided as an estimate:

* 300 × 210 × 220 mm
* Volume: 15 litres

Best-case packing (upright cans)

* Along the 300 mm length: 4 cans (4 × 66 = 264 mm)
* Along the 210 mm width: 3 cans (3 × 66 = 198 mm)
* Height 220 mm: 1 upright layer (115 mm high)

Total: 4 × 3 = 12 cans

You would still have around 105 mm of vertical space above the cans, which is useful for ice packs or food, but not enough for a second upright layer.

If stacked horizontally

With careful packing, you could fit:

* 2 cans along the 220 mm height (2 × 66 = 132 mm)
* 3 cans along the 210 mm width (3 × 66 = 198 mm)
* 2 cans along the 300 mm length (2 × 115 = 230 mm), leaving some room, or potentially more with alternating orientations.

Theoretical packing works out to around 18 cans, but in a soft-sided insulated bag, the lining, rounded corners and zipper reduce usable space.

Rob what days are you on site? I will pop in and say hello.

Ive got all the speero cool bags and they are ok but they wont be anywhere near as good performance wise as the latest cotswold coolers.

Thanks for the positive comments, the questions and suggestions which I’ll take on board and I’ll gladly do my best to answer your questions in due course, we’ve tried to share the answers to most the questions people had regards capacity (which invariably was how many beers will it hold, how long does ice stay frozen for as an example) but I’ll be sure to share how many kilos I can fit in the cb15 and cb26 shortly - but I’d urge people to look at the marketing tests we did which sells the product for me itself

Regards popping in to see me - I split my time between prolite explorer (behind the scenes upstairs) visiting the trade and at Cotswold - I will start a seperate thread at some point about Jag/cotswold/prolite and our USP’s in a crowded market rather than derail this thread about the cool bags but I’m really keen to engage with our consumers so anyone visiting the shop in Luton feel free to ask for me and I’ll gladly come down and chat / share ideas / feedback etc

I truly appreciate how fortunate I am to be working in an environment I’m passionate about with people who have the same values and passion as me and im excited for what lies ahead.

I’ve learned a lot from this community along the way so feel free to ask any questions and I’ll come back to you as quickly as possible and I look forward to hearing other users comments
