Beautiful design!

While longevity remains to be seen (some of it appears to be cheaply made), this cooler has more features presented in more useful and clever ways than any other cooler I’ve seen. LOVE the umbrella / fishing pole tubes. LOVE the wheels, the handle, the dry storage, and the cup holders. Ice only lasts 24-48 hours in the shade, but I rarely need ice longer than a day anyway so I don’t care about that. After using the Journey, I will sell my Yeti, which is way too heavy to be practical.

Solid cooler!

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!!

Great cooler with a small Achilles heel

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.

First time user review

This review is based off of only one use. First off, the cooler is very nice looking! It is constructed well. We loaded some beach chairs onto the top with Bungee Cords. on regular flat terrain, the cooler is effortless to pull/tow. The only negatives I have are that the ice melted incredibly fast imo. This may have been due to the fact that I did not load the bottom of the cooler with drinks and/or food, only half. This caused the ice to shift. The cooler did move through thick beach sand but a bit of effort was required.

Best Cooler on Wheels

Love the versatility of this cooler and the color combination. Easy to maneuver around in various terrain. I was a little disappointed it didn't keep the ice as long as I had hoped, but still the best cooler on wheels I have ever owned. My daughter plays travel softball and we are in tournaments almost every weekend. This was my reason for ordering and it has worked great.

Lacks the quality to cost so much

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.

Great Product!!

I did a lot of research prior to purchasing this cooler. I’ve always been a Yeti fan, and own multiple smaller hard and soft Yeti coolers. As I researched the larger coolers out there, the Igloo Trailmate immediately jumped out at me. At 79 quarts, it’s an excellent cooler for parties and get togethers. Although the Traailmate is not a cheap cooler by any means, it is still considerably more affordable than some of its main competitors (Yeti, RovR, Pelican). I give this cooler 5 stars because it checks all the boxes I was looking for. It has a ton of great features, it’s very aesthetically pleasing, it’s super portable and it holds a ton of drinks. That all being said, you need to understand there is no comparing the ice retention of this cooler to a Yeti hard cooler. Yeti will definitely hold ice longer - so if you’re looking for a cooler that will hold ice > 4 days this is not the cooler for you. I will say in my garage at around 70 degrees, the ice had melted but drinkers were still cold in the water for just over a week. When I think about this cooler it will probably be used for an event or over a long weekend. If this is what you’re looking for, this is a great option for you. The only thing to keep in mind is it will not fit in the bed of a standard size truck with a tonneau cover. I have a tri-fold tonneau cover so it’s not that big of a deal. However, this could be a dealbreaker for some. Overall, this is a great product and excellent investment as long as you aren’t expecting it to perform the same as a Yeti in regards to ice retention. Because of the different type of insulation, it’s like comparing apples to oranges.

Not so cool cooler

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.

Large Capacity Yet Easy to Roll

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.

It’s Big!

Pros: All the bells and whistles for active, outdoor family or friends or large groups! The type of cooler you need for a weekend or longer trip. If I were a young family living near a beach or lake, this would be ideal! Cons: Only one, the size! It’s much bigger than I thought and heavy! I don’t think it will even fit in the trunk of my Honda Accord and I will need a second person to lift it when full of ice, food and drinks. Because of the size, storage could be a problem.
