Pros: All the bells and whistles for active, outdoor family or friends or large groups! The type of cooler you need for a weekend or longer trip. If I were a young family living near a beach or lake, this would be ideal! Cons: Only one, the size! It’s much bigger than I thought and heavy! I don’t think it will even fit in the trunk of my Honda Accord and I will need a second person to lift it when full of ice, food and drinks. Because of the size, storage could be a problem.

Ordered this after seeing some advertisements online. We are a youth baseball family so we were excited about all the features it had for games and tournaments. I was a little worried about the build quality as a lot of times these "extra features" tend to be cheaply made things that break off or don't last BUT that is NOT the case with this cooler. This thing is build to last from end to end. It's a beast. One thing to keep in mind is it is about 30-40% bigger than a traditional cooler. You might think looking at the pics that it won't hold much because space is used for the accessories but that is not the case.

I really like this new cooler. It has a lot of useful features. The only thing that could have made it better would have been some kind of handle or grip to lift it up into the truck/suv. Its very difficult to try and lift it up. Other than that,its perfect

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.

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.

This thing is a beast, just recently got it and I've only taken it out for use once so far but it kept all my goodies cold and ice didn't melt the whole weekend. Definitely helps to pre-cool it before and you should be good. Wheels work great and so does the handle and the fishing pole holders are a huge plus.

I really like the cooler! The big wheels and pull out handle are just what i needed. I ordered 7 of them. BUT... the cup holders on top dont hold most things. Just a beer bottle or soda can. Please, manufacturer, make 2 of rge cup holders big enough to hold your 40oz insulated tumblers!! Thanks!

I just used it for the first time to go fishing on the beach this morning! The rod holder broke off and i couldnt pull it through the sand to save my life. The rod holders for fishing is what sold me initially then the fact that it would hopefully cruise through sand with ease. What a let down. As much as this thing costs im highly disappointed.

I love this cooler's features. It doesn't keep ice long if it's not full is one of my complaints. We don't fill it up with ice, usually just enough to cover what's there, and it's usually melted by the end of the day on the boat. Large enough to hold all of our beverages and food. I love the serving tray under the lid. Cup holders on top do not hold popular mugs, or cans with koozies unless it's the tall skinny cans - that's also a disappointment. Overall it's a 4 star.

I recently got my hands on the Trail Mate 70qt Cooler by Igloo, and let me tell you, it’s one solidly built cooler! I took it out on a camping trip, and it proved to be a reliable companion throughout my adventure, keeping my food and drinks refreshingly cool. The first thing that caught my attention was the sturdy construction of this cooler. It feels tough and ready for anything you throw at it. You can tell it’s made to handle rough outdoor conditions with ease. The handles are securely attached and provide a firm grip, even when the cooler is fully loaded. What impressed me the most was its insulation capabilities. The Trail Mate 70qt Cooler has some serious insulation going on. It kept my stuff chilled for days, even in hot weather. No worries about melted ice or warm drinks here! The lid seals tightly, thanks to a handy latch mechanism and a rubber gasket, keeping the cold air locked in. The design is smart and practical. The spacious interior allowed me to pack a good amount of food and beverages without any trouble. Plus, it was easy to keep things organized inside. And let’s not forget the built-in bottle opener on the side—a neat little feature that came in handy when cracking open a cold one. Cleaning the cooler was a breeze. The smooth interior surface and drain plug made it quick to get rid of any water or debris. No fuss, no mess. To sum it up, the Trail Mate 70qt Cooler by Igloo is a well-crafted cooler that impressed me with its build quality. It’s tough, keeps things cool for a long time, and the design is both functional and convenient. Whether you’re planning a camping trip, a beach day, or any outdoor adventure, this cooler has got you covered. I highly recommend the Trail Mate 70qt Cooler if you’re looking for a reliable, well-built companion to keep your refreshments chilled and ready to enjoy.
