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.

There is not a substantial handle to pick cooler up. The handle is just molded plastic that you can barely get your fingers under. Also, it didn’t perform well in actually keeping things cool as the ice melted fairly quickly. It looks cool and I do like the fact it can roll and the little table feature was nice. Just don’t see myself using it frequently and definitely won’t be back on the beach.

There are allot of features to the cooler It is very easy to tote around with the telescoping handle and oversized wheels. The only problem I have is that it doesn't seal properly. You can use a bungy cord to hold it down, but the lid will have a crack due to the design. Great for day trips, but if you are using for multiple days then you will most likely need to re-ice.

Terrible in deep sand, the only tires that would work in sand for something like this would be balloon tires. The rod holders can’t handle a surf rod (they’re to heavy) . If your going to use this on the beach for fishing you will have to make modifications. The dry compartment has a one time use gasket. That means if you open it, it will forever leak and not be dry. On hard surfaces this cooler does roll well so camping, tailgating, and picnics you will be fine.

People see me pulling my new cooler and more than half ask where did I get it from! It is very flexible with all of its features and does a great job of keeping contents cool. The ice does last longer than with my prior cooler so i never have to worry on my fishing trips or beach visits.

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.

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.

First day using it and have no complaints at all. Ice hasn’t melted at all after the first day we will see tomorrow. Strange but cool that we got complemented on our cooler at our hotel. Very versatile and great price compared to others on the market.

We love our Trailmate Journey cooler! The olive color is perfect to not show scuffs, dirt, etc. I am short, but because of the adjustable handle, it is so easy for me to roll the cooler, even when it's completely full and has items strapped to it as well. I highly recommend this cooler.

I would’ve like for the top lid to have a better locking mechanism it’s just a snap shut which can stay open if you over fill it by just an ice cube. Also check the sliding handle, my was totally not like the one on the pictures. Over all good cooler to get around roughed terrain or sand.
