I use one for shorter sessions and it definitely works a treat, got mine a couple of years back and it’s served me well, I the use a 25l Icey-Tek box for longer sessions.

Nice one mate, that looks worth a punt, just bought the last grey one at the cheaper price, I’ll report back after using it.

Have heard Kompac Coolers are good bits of kit for 48hrs . . .being honest I think the difference can be in the quality of the ice packs themselves / how many times you access the stuff in as much as the cool bag lining itself. I had a small TA cool bag last season that was ok for 24hrs . . then tried the Ridgemonkey Coolabox 12 which is poor IMO (thought a hard-walled would be better - in this case it really isnt) . .
As per the above post, now using the Speero Modular (the large one) primarily because I want to put all my cook gear and brew kit in it as well (inc spare gas cannisters / sauces etc) which it swallows with ease on the outer pockets. . .also bought the clip on mini coolbag for the top for longer sessions / more frozen bait etc. IMO its an excellent bit of kit - with the base and two sides lined with Thermos ice packs (the dimensions of the 3x pack you can buy fit perfectly - its weirdly like they were designed for the coolbag itself) it can keep enough food and drink cold for 48hrs with no probs . . .

I know you said you're only really interested in the Korda ones.
But I would definitely look at the ones from Speero. I've got two, both the modular with the extra pockets and the standard cool bag.
They surprise me with how long things stay cold in them, and they also take 2 pints of milk stood upright.
Super happy with them.

Korda has been perfect for me. As mentioned below, the zip is a pain and needs to be kept greased up but size wise, it has always been fine for the amount of food and drinks i take for a 48 hour session. Pricey though.

I use a wine cooler bag for my milk, similar to this:

Any idea on the dimensions of the Korda ones? The Fox one seems to be massive, too big for what I want it for. I mainly want to put 2pt Milk, two cold meals, pack of Bacon and a
Few cans of beer with one of those big ice blocks. My non cold food usually just goes in a carrier bag.
I’ve already got an Icey-Tek and a Dometic Box for longer sessions or leaving in the Van, this bag needs to be compact enough, lightweight, good performance and easy to clean.

The korda one is very good,i had one but changed to a yeti roadie 24.If I was going back to a bag one id get the Fox version,it has double zips which are easier to open than the korda one.The Fox version keeps things cold for the same length of time as the korda one,the zip on the korda one is a pain in the arse even when kept lubricated

I’ve been looking at getting a new cool bag as I managed to ruin the one I was using by leaving a pint of Milk in it which leaked and got in the seams etc.
Also wanting to upgrade to something that actually keeps things cool for a max of 48hrs.
I’ve started by looking at what I’d imagine are the best, Yeti Hopper in the 8 or 12 size, these are obviously mega pricey and also I’m not sure I can fit a 2pt Milk stored upright in it. I’ve come across the Korda Compaq Coolers now which seem to be a similar type of product.
Anyone got any experience of these? They’re half the price of the Yeti versions, does that mean they’re half as good? So they actually keep things cool for a decent amount of time? Any user experience would be appreciated!?
Only really interested in these types of bags, I like the fact they’ve got sealed interior so it can be washed out.
I’ve got plenty of Cool Boxes but want something lighter and more compact and that I can potentially use to take to work during the summer too.
