The cooler has a yellowish adhesive squeezed out around the top portion that was NOT cleaned off during production ruining the dark green finish. The lid was barely held on right out of the box. The cooler is also scuffed in numerous places further ruining the finish which is the ONLY reason I decided to spend so much to get this cooler.

We took this for a four day softball tournament. Ice remained for about 2 1/2 days. It’s surprisingly light weight and easy to maneuver. The only issues I have is that the holders on the side for a beach umbrella and for fishing rods pop off when you accidentally nudge them. Also, the butler tray that stores under the lid is not very secured. It latches on either side, but anytime you shut the cooler lid. The lid falls off into the actual cooler. There needs to be a sturdier way to fasten it to the lid.

A cooler that has everything. I love all the features of this cooler especially the wheels and table. I have not pulled it in sand yet and am interested to see if that will work as advertised but everything else is awesome. In the future I hope they come without so much texture on the exterior so you can put stickers on them

The Trailmate Journey 70 Qt seems to be well built with a lot of great features. It's only going to be an occasional use cooler and we have not used it as of yet. I do with the seal on the lid was a little more secure but when transporting for our uses it shouldn't be a problem.

The Trailmate Journey Igloo cooler is everything it says it is. My only critic is that it is bigger than I thought. I'm single so it's a bit too big for me but I figure I will get lots of use out of it by loaning it out to family and friends as well as use it for me on occasion too.

I ordered this as a donation for a charity event last year. I was tempted then to purchase one for myself and when the winner raved about it, I made the decision to do it. Absolutely a rugged beast. I pack the car with goods that must stay cold to take to our place up north and they stay completely cold and/or frozen. 5-hour car trip, several times a year, no problem. The scoping handle makes pulling easy. Also easy to load to SUVs, boats, RV, etc. Worth every penny.

This thing is a beast! I thought about it for several months before buying and wasn’t disappointed. The stowaway table is a cool feature. It’s pretty heavy with several can and a big bag of ice but the long handle makes it feel very light to roll around. It doesn’t hold ice for 4 days but I didn’t expect it to. I added a case of beverages and a big bag of ice, 24 hours later most of the ice was still there even after opening it often, and 48 hours later there was still a decent amount of ice. It outperformed my expectations. Aside from all that, it’s really cool to look at. I’d definitely recommend it.

I would have given the cooler 5 star if it wasn't for the poor lid and hinge design. For the price I would have expected higher quality parts. First time using the cooler, the cable used to keep the lid from opening to far, the bolt pulled out allowing the lid to go back to far and break the hinge. Warranty request submitted, waiting to see how it turns out. Outside of that, the cooler is awesome, easy to tow, holds a lot of stuff as well as hold ice for a long time. Works great for taking to the beach or on a boat.

So many complaints on this cooler. My husband and I took it to the creek strapped to our ATV. Handled it like a champ. We love ALL the features and room. We originally wanted the brumate for our annual family beach trip. But, worried about the tap in the sand. Went with this and it’s a 10/10 for us.

Overall cooler is massive and had high hopes. Construction seems to be decent but not quite as heavy duty feeling as I would like. Larger wheels are great for going over things if needed. Seems to hold ice for awhile but not quite as long as other coolers in this price window. Biggest fail is the lid. Has no way of clamping down tight just pushes down. Flimsy at best. If you rock to far back when towing with a full cooler lid will fly open. Cooler at this price point should have a lid that locks down…. Literally their cheaper coolers all do why not this one? Also lid doesn’t seem insulated enough. I returned It purely on the lid problems. Would have kept it otherwise. Hopefully they can fix that in the next line so I can buy one.
