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.

Cooler shipped quickly and without a scratch! Held up great on my recent camping trip and was definitely the talk of the coolers. No real complaints, but this cooler is bigger than you might think (takes up entire trunk of my outback) and I wish it had a gasket or latch to secure the lid. Love the wheels, handle, and butler tray though!!

Perfect beach cooler, by far! Igloo has knocked it out of the park with this design. The larger wheels, providing plenty of ground clearance make both sandy beach travel and forest terrain travel a breeze. Additionally, the ground clearance keeps your ice longer on the beach because your cooler no longer has to bed down on the hot sand. Instead, it (the cooler) being elevated, has that coastal breeze blowing under keeping ice longer. 70 qt. makes for plenty of space, the dry storage basket is a key feature, allowing for those things you want cold but not in ice to be considered. The external features are well executed too. From the tray that allows for food prep and or table top necessities to the dry storage bin or beach umbrella/rod holder, or the built in bottle openers (homerun), this is a cooler that with make all your summer ventures that much better.

The Trailmate Journey 70 Qt seems to be well built with a lot of great features. It's only going to be an occasional use cooler and we have not used it as of yet. I do with the seal on the lid was a little more secure but when transporting for our uses it shouldn't be a problem.

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.

This thing is a beast, just recently got it and I've only taken it out for use once so far but it kept all my goodies cold and ice didn't melt the whole weekend. Definitely helps to pre-cool it before and you should be good. Wheels work great and so does the handle and the fishing pole holders are a huge plus.

Used for one week at the beach. Tray inside of lid just falls when you close it. Never worked since the lever that holds it is too loose. Cover of handle has come almost completely off. Rubber seal for the dry compartment is out of place already. Worst part is, upon receiving the chest, ai realize two small knobs that hold the tray in the inside of the top lid do not hold. The bottom one just flops to the side and the tray falls when you close the lid. Tried to tighten the screw, but didn't help. Disappointed on these flaws after such an expensive lurchase. Most expensive chest I've ever bought and not very happy due to those flaws. Positive note - moves pretty good through the sand and the tie down spots on the sides and back of the chest are great.

So far everything has been going great, and has met expectations. The only reason it’s not 5 stars is the switches to hold the tray are a bit loose so it quite often falls into the ice. Also the black plastic ”legs” are a bit loose/wobbly. You’re unable to tighten either of these things. Not huge issues, but the only thing keeping this from 5 stars.

Umbrella holders seem pretty flimsy…and haven’t had a chance to actually use the thing yet. I’m expecting I’ll lose the umbrella attachments in time… seems like lid could’ve been a little larger with holes that would allow for holders? Just a thought

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.
