I just used it for the first time to go fishing on the beach this morning! The rod holder broke off and i couldnt pull it through the sand to save my life. The rod holders for fishing is what sold me initially then the fact that it would hopefully cruise through sand with ease. What a let down. As much as this thing costs im highly disappointed.

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.

Cooler looks great. Has awesome features. But sometimes the lid doesn’t seem to close all the way and there is no latch or lock. The metal wire inside that holds the lid and prevents it from opening too far also coils up and gets in the way of the cooler closing correctly approximately 3 out of every 5 closes.

After owning several coolers in my lifetime, it’s safe to say this one ranks pretty high as far as utility, ease of use and cool little bonuses. The rugged wheels help keep the adventures going with little to no issues over different terrain. The capacity is amazing to carry as much as needed for a small family. My only regret is the build of the plastic moldings that hold the rear tire rod in place. There’s 3 small plastic moldings that hold the rod in place and in my case one broke off during the shipping process. Too lazy to ship it back for a replacement, I super glued it back in place. Other than that, the cooler is built like a tiny tank.

I really like the cooler and have gotten many compliments and questions about it. Myself and those who have questions agree that it is great for a large family or long outing, but a quick day trip to the beach for empty nesters needs a cooler about 1/3 the size smaller. Also, the wheels need to be enclosed and not open on the inside, the sand piles up on the inside of the wheel. Sadly, one of the 4 metal pins that connects the black handle to the silver telescoping part of the handle has fallen out. I am hoping that does not effect the function of the handle.

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!!

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.

I recently got my hands on the Trail Mate 70qt Cooler by Igloo, and let me tell you, it’s one solidly built cooler! I took it out on a camping trip, and it proved to be a reliable companion throughout my adventure, keeping my food and drinks refreshingly cool. The first thing that caught my attention was the sturdy construction of this cooler. It feels tough and ready for anything you throw at it. You can tell it’s made to handle rough outdoor conditions with ease. The handles are securely attached and provide a firm grip, even when the cooler is fully loaded. What impressed me the most was its insulation capabilities. The Trail Mate 70qt Cooler has some serious insulation going on. It kept my stuff chilled for days, even in hot weather. No worries about melted ice or warm drinks here! The lid seals tightly, thanks to a handy latch mechanism and a rubber gasket, keeping the cold air locked in. The design is smart and practical. The spacious interior allowed me to pack a good amount of food and beverages without any trouble. Plus, it was easy to keep things organized inside. And let’s not forget the built-in bottle opener on the side—a neat little feature that came in handy when cracking open a cold one. Cleaning the cooler was a breeze. The smooth interior surface and drain plug made it quick to get rid of any water or debris. No fuss, no mess. To sum it up, the Trail Mate 70qt Cooler by Igloo is a well-crafted cooler that impressed me with its build quality. It’s tough, keeps things cool for a long time, and the design is both functional and convenient. Whether you’re planning a camping trip, a beach day, or any outdoor adventure, this cooler has got you covered. I highly recommend the Trail Mate 70qt Cooler if you’re looking for a reliable, well-built companion to keep your refreshments chilled and ready to enjoy.

Super cool-er! It has amazing features. I live in Tampa and had to evacuate for Hurricane Idalia last week. We loaded up the cooler, it stayed cool for 4 days and was easy to wheel with the leverage system. I highly reccomend espesxially for price over a YETI.

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.
