Frequently Asked Questions
What is the advantage of a rotomolded cooler?
A rotomolded cooler is made using a process that creates a single, continuous piece of plastic. This eliminates seams where cold air could escape and provides much thicker walls for superior insulation and structural strength.
How do I maximize ice retention in my cooler?
To keep things colder longer, we recommend "pre-chilling" your ice chest with a bag of ice a few hours before use, keeping the lid closed as much as possible, and filling empty air gaps with extra ice or towels.
Are soft-sided coolers completely waterproof?
While many of our Soft Coolers feature welded seams and leak-proof zippers that prevent water from leaking out, they are not intended to be fully submerged for extended periods.
What capacity cooler do I need for a family weekend trip?
For a family of four for a weekend, a 50 to 60-quart cooler is usually sufficient. This allows enough space for a 2:1 ice-to-food ratio, ensuring everything stays safe and cold.
How should I clean and store my cooler after use?
After each trip, wash your cooler with mild soap and water. For deeper cleaning, use a solution of water and baking soda. Always ensure the cooler is completely dry before closing the lid and storing it to prevent mildew.

Which coolers will stay cold the longest?
The duration a cooler stays cold depends on various factors, including: Insulation Quality: Coolers with high-quality insulation materials tend to retain cold temperatures for longer periods. Thicker and well-insulated walls contribute to better ice retention. Size: Larger coolers generally have more insulation and storage capacity, allowing them to maintain lower temperatures for extended periods. Smaller coolers may cool quickly but may not sustain coldness as long. External Conditions: Ambient temperature plays a crucial role. In hot weather, coolers have to work harder to stay cold. Conversely, cooler external temperatures contribute to better ice retention. Pre-cooling: Pre-cooling the cooler before use, along with chilling items before placing them inside, can enhance overall cold retention. Usage Patterns: Opening the cooler frequently releases cold air. Limiting access and using ice packs or frozen water bottles strategically can help maintain lower temperatures. In this selection, you’ll find coolers with excellent insulation properties to enhance ice retention. For extended cold storage, consider larger coolers with thicker insulation. To get the low-down on each cooler, check out the specs and product details. This will usually outline features that improve cold retention. Additionally, pairing your cooler with frozen water bottles and efficient food storage solutions can contribute to overall temperature maintenance.
