Overall pleased with the product; however, bungee hooks should have holes in them, the cooler is also difficult to lift into a vehicle without appropriate handles, and it is too tall to fit under the bed cover of my truck. Would be nice to have an option where the wheels and base fold in or remove for loading into truck beds with bed covers.

I owned a igloo coldmax cooler for nearly 15 years and all it ever needed was new hinges. This cooler was used on countless family camping trips and did its job. When I saw the Igloo Trailmate 70 Qt I knew this would be the cooler to replace my coldmax. So far I have been very impressed, the Trailmate was designed for people who love adventure and a cold beverage. My only gripe is the telescopic pull handle is sometime difficult to extend. The ice retention is great for a cooler that isn't rotomolded. I had a 20lb bag of ice in the cooler for the last 4 days in 75 to 80 degree weather and there is still roughly 10 lbs remaining in the cooler. The features and the price sold me on this cooler, rugged, oversized wheels, and sturdy metal base, detachable fishing rod holders that can be used for other items like umbrellas. Two bottle openers is nice as well as all the tiedown points and the tray that attaches to the pull handle. Other companies that will remain nameless would have those items available but each upgrade would cost you more and more money. The bottom-line is simple if you're not going into bear country for days on end, or you're not going to be stuck on a boat for two weeks save your money and by the Trailmate, it will go wherever you want to be and it would require a back brace and a second set of hands to get it there.

I have been eying the Trailmate coolers since they first came out. I even looked at them in our local retail store. But I wasn’t prepared as I had thought about my purchase of one. Once I decided to order one I waited for it to arrive like Linus for a Valentine from the red headed girl. In reality it only took a few days to arrive and boy was I amazed. I immediately fell in love with it. We took it last weekend on an all yay trip at a near by lake. My older grandkids loved it too. Couldn’t be happier. One downside though about the delivery packaging. There isn’t any. Just the cooler in a box. This caused scratches on the top and corners. Not real bad in my opinion, but they’re never the less.

The cooler has a yellowish adhesive squeezed out around the top portion that was NOT cleaned off during production ruining the dark green finish. The lid was barely held on right out of the box. The cooler is also scuffed in numerous places further ruining the finish which is the ONLY reason I decided to spend so much to get this cooler.

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.

Purchased during their Memorial Day sale. The Olive green is more gray than green. The plastic storage area in the front is handy but made of a thin plastic that probably hold up long. The fishing rod/umbrella holders are a cool feature and this cooler offers more than others on the market. Husband is happy overall but I think it’s overpriced.

Very happy with our purchase, the tray is so genius and functional. This cooler is so easy to take along trips. Hold our drinks cold for 3 day out in the sun. Kept our phones out of the sun and free from dirt and water damage in the compartment The only thing I would like is that the cup holder holes on top of the ice chest are to small to fit a Hydroflask. it would be perfection if there were bigger. out of our 4 coolers this is our favorite and will be on all our trips for now on. I am so happy we invested our money on this cooler instead of a Yeti for the price I paid on the Igloo and all the extras on it was well worth it.

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)

Cooler is very sturdy and love the storage. It's a great size between too bulky and not enough room. Very disappointed in cold and ice retention. I have had this cooler about 2 weeks and have used it every weekend camping. The longest it will hold ice is about 10 hours before its completely warm and melted. I'm from Maryland where spring & summer days range 70-85 degrees.

We took this for a four day softball tournament. Ice remained for about 2 1/2 days. It’s surprisingly light weight and easy to maneuver. The only issues I have is that the holders on the side for a beach umbrella and for fishing rods pop off when you accidentally nudge them. Also, the butler tray that stores under the lid is not very secured. It latches on either side, but anytime you shut the cooler lid. The lid falls off into the actual cooler. There needs to be a sturdier way to fasten it to the lid.
