One of the best purchases I have made

Bought this to take to the beach in the hopes the wheels would make it easier to haul. Have to say it was amazing. My 13 years old grandson ended up hauling it back and had no problems dragging it though the sand. Love the newer handle design. As for keeping ice for 4 days? Doubtful. It wasn't even a particularly hot day and two bags melted pretty quickly. The butlers tray was a lifesaver as were the side clips to strap down gear. The dry storage, albeit small, was very nice to keep our phones and glasses from getting sandy and out of the heat. Well worth the money. Now the rest of the family wants one! Only negative is it is such a tall cooler we couldn't close the tonneau cover on the truck. It is about 4 inches too tall for the truck bed. Chevy 1500.

It's a big beautiful beast that is built to last.

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.

It’s Big!

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.

A tacticool tank for your Base camp

You can storm the beaches with this big boy. It's a bit bigger than I expected, but it works perfect for a day at the beach or tailgating. The drain screw cap is convenient and the wheels did fine in the sand. I wish the detachable table snapped onto the handle, but overall it performs great!

Great Product!!

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.

Pros and Cons

The cooler is large, holds a ton, parents were asking to put items in my cooler, several pockets, has many benefits. Looking forward to using for baseball. Negatives - heavy without ice, can’t lift on my own with ice. Handle is at a very weird angle. Cup holders doesn’t hold newer water bottles (Stanley’s, RTIC, etc). Tires need to be rubber. The plastic wheels will break in a short period of time.

Function of cooler

Doesn’t fit under Tanu cover in back of truck due to wheels. Recommend filling ice chest after it’s placed in vehicle. If you have Toy Hauler no problem as you can just wheel it in. Wheels are fantastic for any terrain! Held ice pretty well. Used as our drink cooler.

Handle issues.

The construction is mostly good, but our handle does not pull out. It holds ice for days. Better than our last cooler. And the big wheels are great without being overly bulky. Hopefully costumer service will rectify our issue with the handle by either replacing the handle or the cooler itself.

Lack of quality

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.

Disappointed.

The lid does not completely close, which is a major issue. Also, it arrived with scratches because the cooler was shipped without protection. It looked used right out of the box. I like the handle, wheels, tray and overall look, but if its not going to keep things cold then its just an expensive plastic table on wheels.
