We tested the best camping stoves from Coleman, Camp Chef, Primus, and more for this review. Check it out to see how each performs and which stove came out on top. Block ice and fresh cubed ice from freezers are denser than chipped ice or crushed ice from ice machines. If you get super strategic, you can use a mix of block ice — which melts slowly — and cubed ice — which cools down the container quickly. The well-constructed, premium Hydro Flask Day Escape Soft Tote Cooler is available at a moderate price ($150).
The er canvas exteriors and flexible insulated walls of the AO 24 Pack and REI Pack Away are both much more comfortable bouncing against our sides and wear like an old favorite duffel bag. As soft-sided coolers have become increasingly popular, the market has become increasingly innovative. Once, the presence of an airtight zipper and waterproof exterior was an indicator of solid insulation.
But the flexible walls allowed us to flatten and fold the igloo soft cooler for easy storage, saving us space in a tight apartment. Capacities in a soft cooler are often stated in sheer storage capacity listed in various volume measures such as gallons, quarts, or liters. Many companies also list capacity in terms of the number of cans, which can be easier to visualize.
According to the ice retention test, this cooler can retain ice for 57 hours and fit ounce cans. The design is super lightweight and felt comfortable to carry around. It was easy to sling over our shoulders with the removable strap. The material dried surprisingly fast after it got wet while paddling.
It can hold up to 64 igloo trailmate with ice and comes with a food bin. The Igloo Eco Trailmate scored highest overall in our most recent cooler testing. It steadily maintained the temperature of soda cans over 36 hours and even kept most of the ice intact. It was easy to move around when full and is designed to handle all kinds of terrain with its oversized wheels. The company states that it’s made with post consumer recycled materials — the lid and body plastic is made with 98% and the liner is made with 48% — amongst the first of its kind.
