Coolboxes

The igloo style ones do look awesome and they make cushions for them so you can use them as a seat

Mine has markings that say 'do not use lid as seat' or something like that, was a but disappointed to be fair.

Cheers guys, thats given me a bit to think about

The colemans are half the price but the igloo style look cooler

Ive requested a quote from Icey Tek and I will weigh up the pros and cons of each.

Will report back

The igloo seems to fit together more snug to be fair. Thats the one I got shipped in from the states.
It just feels a sturdier beast even though my igloo is smaller than my coleman its heavier.

I use them both as seats.

I'm now looking for a cool box for comps. I'm looking at igloo and coleman, just wondering how people use them for competitions/weekends for holding chilled food. Does anyone use icepacks? Or iceboards, or anything else?

Cheers

I use a coleman for comps. Just chuck in some bags of ice cubes on the Friday and it is still cool by end of comp on Sunday afternoon

[JoeSalop]

OK cool, cheers for that Alan.
I think i'll probably go for a Coleman, they have a lot of support on here.

Thanks again.
Joe

I've got 2 igloos for sale. £50 the pair. Big enough for comp meat and beer. Let me know if you're interested.

[JoeSalop]

Hey Steve, yeah very interested. I'll Pm you.

Hi,

Not catering quality by any means, but I bought one of these from Costco for about £45 & reviewed really well on keeping hot / cold.

I've not tested how good it is over time but certainly had no issues for 24hrs keeping drinks cold. Bought it mainly for resting meat, but wasn't until I put my first butt in there I realised just how big it was!

Cheers mate, that is super cheap tho - I may buy one just for keeping the cider cold

I was really after something huge for semi commercial use. A few more googles and ive found this one

I like the hole in the lid feature

They sold those at costco too - but it's probably too late, way out of season. Not been there in a while, but i bet the xmas stuff is out there already

For those interested, the cool box range is now back in Costco.

Seems like a good price (+ free delivery) for the large Coleman Extreme cooler.
