Roto Molded Cooler, 80-L

rapport prix élevé pour le rendement.Robuste mais si on l'ouvre souvent,la glace fond aussi vite que les modeles bon marché.Lourd et encombrant.Je l'ai retourné au magasin pour remboursement.

I bought this cooler on sale over a year ago for the back of my boat and I absolutely love it. I used it outdoors at a cottage for a week for beer and they were always plenty cold throughout the week. In the boat I love it because I can stand on it (I'm 300lbs) and it doesn't give one bit. It also provides an excellent work surface for the boat although some cup holders molded into the top would have been nice. It stays outside rain or shine with no issues due to exposure. I also love that it stays put in the boat and doesn't shift due to the non slip feet and the weight of it. Speaking of the weight...this cooler is not for walking to the beach as it weighs a ton. If you need a cooler that will stay put, take a beating and need the best insulation for days, this is a great deal and IMHO on par with other roto-molded options.

I bought the larger 80L when it was on sale. I was happy to find it came with two ice pack dividers and a tray to keep smaller items out of the ice/water. One complaint is that the two dividers are too tall to use both with the tray, you need to remove one or lay it flat across the bottom to fit the tray. I think it would be great if it had one tall and one short divider that you could still use under the tray if desired, but it's a minor issue. I've used it once so far on a 6 day trip in 30+ degree sunny weather and was very pleased. I cooled it over night with a couple bags of ice before packing it and froze the dividers. In the morning I loaded it up with the two frozen dividers and an additional bag of ice. For the first 3 days I moved the cooler twice a day to keep it out of the sun, then I got lazy and left it to soak up the sun rays for half the day for the last three days. When I got home on day 6 I put the cooler in the house and went to bed so I didn't unpack it until the 7th day and while all the ice had melted at that point everything was still cold. I'm sure if I had kept it out of the sun the whole time it would have still had ice at the end, however don't be fooled about their claim to 14 days of ice! Maybe if it's completely full of ice and left in the shade in the winter... I can't compare it to the more expensive big name roto molded coolers but it sure works better than the cheaper coolers I've had and for the price I paid I am happy with it. At full price I'd probably shop around and be more concerned about comparing it to others. Also if you are used to the cheaper coolers with telescoping handles and wheels, remember it has anti-skid feet. A full 80L cooler gets heavy!

I was looking at purchasing a heavy duty cooler September 2016 to go moose hunting later that fall. I looked at all the big names (Pelican, Engel, Cabelas, and of course the over rated Yeti) for about a month. Just before making a choice my wife and I stumbled across the woods unit at our local store. To my surprise the woods cooler had two ice pack dividers and a decent sized tray, roughly 2/3 the length of the cooler for smaller items. Usually these would be an extra cost for most comparable products. Finally time to put it to the test, I pre-cooled the cooler by throwing a bag of ice into it over night. The next day I packed up the cooler and went on my way. Fast forward 4 days later, It was my turn to cook. I opened the cooler for the first time since arriving at camp to again be surprised. The cooler had not only kept everything cold it had literally turned all the water that had thawed back into ice. I can't say enough about how please I was, my wife and I now use it for just about anything as long as we are not going to be constantly needing to open it. For anyone considering a new cooler I would highly recommend this product, for its price point and outstanding quality.
