I was in need of a new cooler; with time and research I came across the Igloo Journey 70qt. I loved the way it looked with its design and the big wheels it had to get around anywhere we may need to go; beach; mountains and any other rough terrains. We put it to the test this week in Yosemite National Park. It was definitely quite an eye catcher and a trooper! Kept cold longer than 4 days and I was able to keep quite a bit of food and drinks in the cooler. Although we did bump into a small problem, we were in bear territory and had to keep everything in a bear box, this chest did fit in the bear box but I do wish it had some type of lock closure on the lid or an option to have it, that would be my only small critique about this chest. Overall, I am cery satisfied with this purchase.

Our ice melted very quickly, the water stayed cool but was a little disappointed even after precooling with multiple bags of ice for several days, we were in 40-65 degree weather for 2 days and by the end of day 2 with minimal opening our cooler it was melted.

I just took this cooler to the beach for the first time. I love how you are able to strap items on top of the cooler and the wheels worked well in the sand. However, the purpose of a cooler is to keep items cold and this is where I was let down. Igloo stated ice retention up to for days and that is not what I experienced. I do understand it was at the beach, but it was not in the sun. I have taken cheaper coolers to the beach and had the ice last longer.

I ordered this cooler, but when I opened the box, I found that it was defective. The telescopic handle did not function properly because of how it had been installed, and the lid did not fit correctly. The return process was fast and simple, but the situation was still frustrating because I had planned to use the cooler for a July 4th party. After waiting another two weeks, I received a replacement. So far, everything seems to be working properly. However, the experience is a little like noticing a coffee stain on someone’s shirt when you first meet them. After that, you naturally start looking for other things that may be wrong. You never get a second chance to make a great first impression. A simple inspection of this cooler would have caught this and made a great impression!

I've actually really enjoyed this cooler for the last 5 years, however this year the plastic part that holds the axle on broke. It has a few screws holding it down, easy enough to get to, so I figured I'll just order a replacement. Nope. They don't offer these parts. The cooler otherwise works great but the portability is gone. For the cost, I would recommend going with another brand that offers better repairability

The lid broke after very light use — one of the two hinge tabs snapped, and Igloo does not sell replacement lids. That means the entire cooler becomes useless even though everything else is in perfect condition. Very disappointing quality and zero support for replacement parts.

Lot of space and seems to be holding ice well so far

Awesome purchase, i didn’t get to use my id discount

Nice and plenty of room for all kinds of drinks and food!

This is by far the best cooler I've ever have, no more dragging the cooler in the sand
