Igloo Trailmate Marine Review Tested by GearLab

The large size of this cooler will keep up to 112 cans cold for you and your party’s enjoyment. The fact that it can also be used as a tray is the real stroke of genius, though. The butler tray is modular and can be fitted right onto the handle. It comes with cup holders built into it and has a rough surface to ensure whatever you place on top of it stays on top of it. When you’re done with it, you can store it neatly under the lid of the cooler.
