I purchased a trailmate journey cooler a week ago and have used it twice. On both occasions, I used the cooler inside my house just to test how long the cooler would keep ice cold. Well, unfortunately, this cooler failed to do that. Both times, the ice melted within 12 hours. I used 15 pounds of ice and a cold 18 pack, and all the ice melted away. I was bummed out about that, not worth the money I spent for an ice chest. I will say this though, the cooler does have a sleek design to it and comes with a lot of cool features. Anyways, I'm going to sell this cooler and purchase a better quality one that keeps ice from melting in one day. Peace, Love, & Happiness.

We really like the cooler and all the functions it has. It was a great addition to our camping gear. Only issue we have is the lid slowly rides up and unseals after awhile. It was great being able to bring it down some trails to the beach and pop up an umbrella on the back of the cooler.

Very cool looking cooler but wasn’t the quality I was expecting for the money. The gloss black exterior plastic was very scratched up when I took it out of the box and the tabs that hold the table up inside the cooler lid are stripped and don’t hold the table in very well. If I didn’t NEED the cooler this weekend, I would have probably returned it.

The cooler is large in size, and his capacity is way more than enough for a large group of people looking to load up enough beverages for the night. The Igloo Trailmate has just about every option you want in a cooler for fishing, beachgoing, or camping. The ice retention is phenomenal, I loaded it with 32 pounds of ice and a 24 pack of canned beverages, and it didn’t even fill half the cooler and still had ice in it 4 days later, while the cooler was sitting outside in near hundred-degree weather. Highly recommended!

So this cooler is seriously some of the coolest things EVER. Designed with comfort and ease of use in mind and not just throwing features in to make it look sexy. Which it is. The wheels are big and make it easy to maneuver, even through sand. Holds a ton of drinks and the little cell phone/sunglasses compartment stays cool. So no need to worry about your cell phone overheating. I didn’t mean to buy the big one but I’m so happy with my purchase.

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.

Someone really thought about the features on this cooler. Wheels are big and easy to roll. Handle provides leverage to make rolling a loaded down cooler easy. Plenty of space for food and drinks. Holds ice well. The tray is a smart addition that we use all the time. Big drain hole for fast draining. Tie downs to strap items on top of the cooler and wheel them with you. Keeping the cooler elevated helps keep ice longer when it is not sitting on a hot surface. Small tray to keep items dry above ice and water. Front opening lid instead of side opening makes it easier to get in and out of inside the Chevy Suburban when it’s in the back. Amazing job igloo. Well worth the money for the features you get.

LOVE LOVE LOVE all my IGLOO products!!! I love the Trailmate cooler in Rugged Blue, the charcuterie board (huge plus!!), the spot to store sunglasses and phone (huge plus!!), cupholders, THE WHEELS, so easy to pull and everyone loves it! Thanks for making such an awesome cooler!

Be very careful with the lid. This is the third Trailmate cooler I have bought and both times it’s been the lid breaking off at the hinge. The hinge is never in stock to buy though. So this will be my last one I buy. If this one doesn’t last then I’m done with this cooler.

Overall really nice cooler but has a few opportunities to be 5 stars Pros: Huge wheels, robust handle, plenty of storage, really like the dry storage and looks great Opportunities: 1. Needs some more robust plastic for the tie downs (what they have is weak and feel like any amount of real pressure will snap them off) 2. A latch for the lid (just to make sure it doesnt open (I plan to go off-roading and if this goes on its side the lid will open and all the contents would be on the ground, if it had better tie downs I'd say they would work with a bungee cord but I already talked about that)
