igloo water coolerThe Igloo managed to hold refreshing brew temperatures at or below 50º for an additional several hours, for a total of 3.4 days of cold beers. Though we aren’t totally shocked at this lackluster performance when considering the Trailmate is a relatively thin cooler, standing up to some rather thick, rotomolded competition. And realistically, a wheeled cooler like this is less likely to be your choice to strap into your canoe for that 10-day whitewater trip, and more likely to be your choice for a picnic in the park. In which case this level of insulation will surely get you through a single warm summer’s day.

igloo soft coolerIt has an ice retention of 7 days and happens to be rotomolded. Yeti have their own wheeled cooler, and it is, of course, magnificent. Yeti Tundra Haul, the latest addition to Yeti Tundra family, will keep your ice icy for up to 10 days, has fairly large wheels, and has a capacity in the region of 45 cans. Igloo makes a lot of products, many of which we think are excellent values for what they bring to the table. Unfortunately, we don’t feel the same way about the Trailmate Marine.

For the stuff you want to keep dry but cold, you can put it in the food basket that’s right on top of the cold section. They are made of marine grade strength aluminum, which means that you don’t have to worry about these metal parts rusting, especially when you’re out at sea. The metal is also extremely strong without having to be unbearably heavy. The Trailmate is meant to be the ultimate cooler for all terrains. It’s supposed to be your one size fits all party kit that you can take with you wherever you want, with plenty of beer, of course! However, there was still something missing from Igloo, and that was the fact that they didn’t have a proper wheeled cooler for those who just didn’t like the idea of carrying a cooler.
