I bought it in September so I have not tested in hot season yet. But have used it traveling and we wanted a Big cooler that was rugged. This is definitely that. Large, rugged, appears to be durable, you will need alot of space to travel with this cooler. I have a truck and its no issue. I feel this cooler will suite our families needs. Ice retention if i get 4 hours out of travel like it claims i will be happy. Mosy other coolers we have don't get that. And the price is fair on what you are getting here way better price then a yeti or Pelican.

My wife bought this for me as a present 1st time we used it seemed like it was going to be a great cooler. The 2nd time we brought the cooler out the cheap plastic hinge snapped on one side of the Lid causing to snap in and out falling off and eventually completely braking. We were trying to get a cooler durable, but the lid is not meant for a JOURNEY breaks way 2 easy.

This thing is so cool & not too heavy! It is a gift for my husband so I’ll let him give it the final say...the reason for the three stars is that it came shipped and the box was beat to heck, open on one side and not much padding inside so it was banged up pretty bad and lots of scratches on the shiny black plastic! That was disappointing. But I have no doubt it will get the job done when it comes to coolers!

I bought this product for my husband as a birthday gift. He received it yesterday and was so excited to use it for his birthday party to hold our drinks. We are both now very disappointed and will be contacting igloo about a refund since we placed ice in the cooler around 1pm yesterday and woke up at 8am this morning to find that all the ice had melted. The coolers lid stayed closed all night and each time after opening.

First off I love my igloo cooler I’ve had for 4 yrs , great space for storing considering it’s on wheels but I have to say some of the parts are not real durable I’ve ordered several different replacement parts. For the price should me a little more tough . Not a beach cooler the wheels on it are just not as big or wide as they need to be to travel on sand . Overall I give this cooler a 3 out of 5

I’ve had this cooler a little over a month. I’ve took it on one trip. Seemed like a good cooler until I got it home. In the process of cleaning out items inside of the cooler I let it sit on my hardwood floor for a few hours while I was gone. When I returned home I found that the drain plug had leaked out letting water leak onto my floor. I now have water damage to my 6 month old hardwood flooring.

Overall, this is a monster of a cooler! It's huge, strong, easy to pull through sand, aesthetically pleasing and could go on. Have gotten MANY compliments! With that being said, I've run into two issues: 1. I had a piece of a hinge break off which has caused the door to fall over when open. It also does not close the door correctly. This has caused a headache when using of course because I have to make sure that the door is connected otherwise it just falls off. 2. The drain plug. Not sure what it is but I struggle putting mine on and have even cut my finger when trying to screw it on. Even when I get it on, it leaks water. So yet, another headache. Other than that, I can say I am pleased with the cooler! I love how it looks and how mobile I can be with it. I definitely didn't expect to deal with issues the first few times I got to use it but hopefully warranty/Igloo can help resolve.

Cool color! Sturdy construction Has some silly things like butler tray and fishing rod/ umbrella holders? They need to think that part out a little harder and expand into a “system” of sorts IE other Daily Useful options Do people really use the cup holders on top? Would be better if smooth then you would not get the cup holder nastys Oh by the way the cooler with wheels is my invention thought that in 1988

I do love the trailmate. Great for the beach. I would have given it a 5, if not for the umbrella holders. They are too small in diameter for most newer umbrellas. Due to the umbrellas having the “ cork screw” type base to secure them in the ground. Make a bigger replacement and I’ll purchase it….

Once the world is ready for sightseeing, I am ready to go on my big adventure with my Trailmate Journey 70 Qt Cooler. My son purchased one last year and I have been watching for them to be available for a while. And the shipping was superfast - 4 days from date of order and I had delivery! Really looking forward to using.
