Product Information

This weight is also significant since it affects how you handle the cool box. Regular carrying handles, for example, would be insufficient for a fully loaded 57L cool box. The big cool box’s wheels make transportation easier and more convenient. You can also find premium quality coolers made from rubber which improves their grip and cooling retention. Regularly designed cool boxes (mostly made with outer fabric) typically last a few hours. Similarly, plastic coolers will last anywhere between a day or two. If you want a cooler that lasts for up to 5 days, a premium quality plastic or rubber-covered cool box will be more suitable.

Summer is the peak season for enthusiasts heading to motorsport events, car shows, or simply taking a drive out to make the most of the long days and – hopefully – warm weather. And those seeking to avoid overpriced service station sandwiches will turn to a cool box or bag to keep their homemade food fresh.
