Nice size - big. The handle was broken when it arrived as it would not release the latches on both sides. After a call to customer service, a new one was sent out and I was able to fix it. The seal on the lid could be tighter - maybe with a rubber gasket. And the plastic latches are too weak to take any real force from bungees.

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.

I did a lot of research prior to purchasing this cooler. I’ve always been a Yeti fan, and own multiple smaller hard and soft Yeti coolers. As I researched the larger coolers out there, the Igloo Trailmate immediately jumped out at me. At 79 quarts, it’s an excellent cooler for parties and get togethers. Although the Traailmate is not a cheap cooler by any means, it is still considerably more affordable than some of its main competitors (Yeti, RovR, Pelican). I give this cooler 5 stars because it checks all the boxes I was looking for. It has a ton of great features, it’s very aesthetically pleasing, it’s super portable and it holds a ton of drinks. That all being said, you need to understand there is no comparing the ice retention of this cooler to a Yeti hard cooler. Yeti will definitely hold ice longer - so if you’re looking for a cooler that will hold ice > 4 days this is not the cooler for you. I will say in my garage at around 70 degrees, the ice had melted but drinkers were still cold in the water for just over a week. When I think about this cooler it will probably be used for an event or over a long weekend. If this is what you’re looking for, this is a great option for you. The only thing to keep in mind is it will not fit in the bed of a standard size truck with a tonneau cover. I have a tri-fold tonneau cover so it’s not that big of a deal. However, this could be a dealbreaker for some. Overall, this is a great product and excellent investment as long as you aren’t expecting it to perform the same as a Yeti in regards to ice retention. Because of the different type of insulation, it’s like comparing apples to oranges.

Like it but first impression out of the box was bad ! The telescope handle did not latch out need igloo to send me another handle which they did at no charge that was great. That additional handle should of been the real handle to begin with. Customer service spot on though

I recieved this industrial looking cooler on Saturday and was camping with it on Tuesday. Despite the initial disappointment of the other 10 people on the camping trip that this was not a generator, the cooler worked out marvelously. The four day ice rating worked well and we kept all of our food for meals in the cooler. Even with the repeated opening of the cooler, we didn't see significant ice melting until the last day, after we packed up. If there was a powered cooler option on this I'd strongly consider it, just for extra days of cooling power.

It looks great and seems sturdy. Took camping recently for 4 days and was disappointed on how long it held the ice. Had to refill on second day and that is with minimum opening. The tray on the lid will not stay in place. But I still like the look and it was easily to move around.

I've had this cooler for about a year, I received it as a gift a year ago. I was so excited as I had been looking at this cooler for a few months. It was great at first, used it a handful of times, nothing too crazy, mostly softball tournament trips. However I have had three screws fall out of the frame underneath, the cap to keep the wheels has fallen off, and the handles now loose also. How do I fix these without it looking like some sort of Franken-cooler because these parts aren't available.

I am not impressed. I sole reason one buys a cooler is to keep things cold and ice frozen for a long time. This lid does not seal well enough to do that. Its vaunted claim that it keeps everything cold for days is laughable. A 7 hour party saw my ice melting. Sure its got a lot of features, like the handle and giant wheels, but I need a bungee cord to properly seal the lid. Definately NOT worth the money paid.

We love our Trailmate Journey cooler! The olive color is perfect to not show scuffs, dirt, etc. I am short, but because of the adjustable handle, it is so easy for me to roll the cooler, even when it's completely full and has items strapped to it as well. I highly recommend this cooler.

This cooler is big and bomber. I love the aggressive wheels. We are a family of 6 and we travel for baseball and soccer. Eating out gets crazy expensive. This cooler let’s us bring plenty of food for all of us. I’m inspiring major cooler envy everywhere I go.
