For a non roto molded cooled, the Igloo provided impressive ice retention ability. On the front of the cooler, Igloo advertises
up to 4 days of ice retention. In our testing, the Trailmate crushed these numbers with 8 days of ice retention.
Seeing how the primary way to transport this cooler is by rolling it, having a handle that is designed to allow you to tow or push it is essential. This handle is a special Igloo Glide Design that allows you to pull your load up to 50% easier. This is accomplished by the added leverage that you get from the handle. You’ll get long-lasting, extended ice retention with the Trailmate, thanks to the THERMECOOL™ (it’s eco-friendly!) insulated lid/body and Cool Riser Technology®. There is something about Yeti coolers that just makes them feel more premium than other cooler and the brand recognition means friends and family members will know how good you’re cooler is. If you know anything about coolers then you’ll have heard of Yeti.
There’s also an antimicrobial liner inside that prevents bacterial growth and makes it easier to clean the cooler. The base is anti-skid so the cooler doesn’t damage the floor of your boat. We never get paid for our reviews, this way we can always keep it real with our fans. We were sent a sample to check out with the understanding that we’d give our honest opinions.
Their wheeled cooler is pretty basic without a lot details to it which personally speaking reminded us of Yeti’s cooler. However, Vibe’s wheeled cooler is quite something with its roto-molded design, color variety and the fact that it can hold up to 70 qt. Yeti’s wheeled cooler the Tundra Haul is many people’s favorite cooler with wheels given what it has to offer; it’s roto-molded, bear proof, durable and it is 100% functional. Finally, one of the most important aspects is the mobility of this cooler. I quickly learned that this cooler is made to go over far more than than pavement.
Also, this latter comes with huge wheels that offer 10 inches of clearance off the ground while the Yeti Haul is not as high and bulky.

The durability of this cooler sounds like what you would expect from a blow molded cooler like this one. If I owned it I would want to be more careful with it than I would with a cooler like Yeti. While none of the below issues are deal breakers in my opinion I want you to be aware of any potential issues with this cooler before you make your purchasing decision.
In addition, it comes with an anti-skid base that helps to avoid creating scuff marks on your boat deck. For instance, the Igloo Trailmate Liddup also comes with built-in LED lights on the inside. This is very helpful for those times that you are using your cooler at night and it is difficult to see. And to provide additional support, there are a couple of aluminum stands (with equally aggressive grip) on the front of the cooler.
