Titan Deep Freeze 40 Can Collapsible Cooler - Black

Product Information

With Arctic Zone rolling out a premium hard-sided cooler lineup, we are in a much better place to compare the brands. DEEP FREEZE PERFORMANCE INSULATION: Features Deep Freeze Performance Insulation with an integrated radiant heat barrier; Perfect for keeping food and beverages cold during travel, tailgates, picnics, and more Soft sided, but plastic inside. This is ideal for bringing on a boat, as it's easier to squish under the bench seat, or easier to squeeze in with our beach gear. But it holds its shape so the food doesn't get smushed, and things don't get shifted around.

For helping to seal the cooler lid, you will find a strong rubber T-latch similar to what you see in other cooler brands. This, in conjunction with the oversized rubber gasket, results in a strong seal that helps to retain cold air inside. This is especially important for those who live in the South and experience 90+ degree temperatures in the summer. Even though many of the large soft-sided coolers are treated to keep mold, mildew and fungus at bay, they still need to be cleaned after each use. Dump out any melted ice outside or in your kitchen sink. Use warm water and dish soap to wipe down the inside of the cooler. Rinse clean and either air dry or use a lint-free cloth to remove the water. Don’t zip the cooler shut and place on a storage shelf if any water remains inside. With this level of ice retention, these coolers make excellent candidates for anything from a weekend lake trip up to a week at the beach house. Visual Appeal – To replicate getting bits in and out of the bag, we open and close it at regular intervals throughout the test. Layer strategically Put things you need last at the bottom, so when you go rummaging in the bag, it's for the shortest amount of time possible.

From The Manufacturer

Extra features: If you want the latest features and you’re happy to pay for it, look out for external storage compartments, cup holders, bottle openers and even umbrella holders. There are also models available which offer bike attachments. The Food Standards Agency recommends you keep your fridge set at 5°C, so that cold food stays at around 8°C. You'll want to keep your bag below 5°C, especially if you have perishables, for as long as you want to keep eating and drinking stuff from the bag. For carrying, the smaller 20-quart size utilizes a pretty standard overhead carrying handle. This handle has a comfortable rubber grip that will make it easier to carry in wet or humid conditions. And on the larger size cooler ( 55-quart), there is the pretty typical side gripped handles. Since a full 55-quart cooler can be quite heavy, we always recommend finding a friend to help carry this cooler. This type of scenario is more aligned with our real-life testing. We will fill the ice chest approximately halfway up with ice, leave it in a semi-warm environment, and occasionally open the lid. This better emulates real-life use. If we’re talking outdoor essentials with a sense of flair, nothing comes close to the RovR Wheeled Cooler. In fact, this thing is practically a mobile home for food and drink. Let’s start from the bottom up: the 9-inch high-performance, puncture-resistant tires are perfect for any terrain, from concrete to deep sand. A pop-up storage bin converts the RollR into a temporary wagon--perfect for short trips into bear country. (Did I mention this cooler is certified bear resistant? Well, it is.)

Plastic divider inside the cooler so that you separate food and cans. You can fit regular height cans and seltzer (taller skinnier) cans underneath the plastic divider. You cannot fit a standing water bottle, you will have to lay it on its side. Pros:Great build quality, Excellent warranty, Good ice retention, On the lower end of the “premium” price point The only somewhat unique feature is the embedded fish ruler on the top of the lid. This feature is on quite a few other cooler brands’ products, but for some reason doesn’t seem to be as prevalent on new models as of late. It is refreshing to see it included with Arctic Zone’s products. The easiest way for a cooler to be unique is in its color choices. Multi-color coolers with the team colors of your favorite professional football team, for instance, would be a huge hit at the next watch party.

The best cool bags are solid and durable; the worst have the exterior casing rip after only one strong tug. If you're catering for a large party or special occasion, you want to make sure you have sufficient space to accommodate all your beverages and treats.So you might need an XL capacity as well as performance. Portable vs. non portable: If you don’t plan to move your cooler once it’s placed, then you don’t need to worry so much about its portability. But, if you’re planning to take it on vacation or on road trips, then consider how much it will weigh at full capacity and whether you will be comfortable carrying it.

The description says ice lasts 3 days. I've never seen ice last anywhere close to this, but we are opening the cooler often when we use it. We were on a boat in the Hawaiian sun for about five hours, and the ice was almost all completely melted by the end of our time, but the water was still very cold. Is it your turn to bring the drinks for your child’s sports team? Are you having a picnic in the park with a group of friends? Perhaps you’re taking your family on a camping trip for the weekend. If any of these ring true, you’ll need a large soft-sided cooler instead of a smaller model. As you browse through the available options, keep the following features in mind: Compared to other similarly sized coolers on the market, these ice numbers are quite good. They will compete with most of the other premium brands such as RTIC, Yeti, Engel, etc. While we have come across a small number of coolers that have slightly longer ice life, the differences may be negligible to many people. HARDBODY LINER WITH SMARTSHELF: Includes a removable HardBody liner with SmartShelf that allows you to separate hard items from soft so sandwiches and other soft foods don't get crushed; SmartShelf easily removes for extra space Review the cooler’s design to see how you’re expected to carry it. Some models offer two different methods for carrying your drinks. There is a set of handles that meet on top of the bag for carrying the cooler with your hands. There’s also a removable should strap, should you wish to attach it and sling the cooler across your shoulder.Durability: The latches must seal securely and shouldn’t ease up when travelling. The cooler won’t be able to insulate effectively if the seal is broken.

As expected, Yeti has a clear edge when it comes to size options, color choices, and features. There is no comparison. Yeti offers dozens of different cooler sizes and a near-infinite range of colors because of their ability to do custom designs. They also have a large range of features and accessories that Arctic Zone just can’t match. Why you can trust Tom's Guide Our writers and editors spend hours analyzing and reviewing products, services, and apps to help find what's best for you. Find out more about how we test, analyze, and rate. While both colors look great, we do wish there were more to choose from. In addition, there are no other specialty color options or customization options that we can find. Cost – No Zip Closure. It has a velcro tab, and the plastic lid fits snugly in the cooler top, so you get a tight seal, but you can open one-handed. This is so important when you are out on a boat or always have your hands full with a kid.With so many different cooler options available these days, it is easy for a brand to get lost in the masses. While having your cooler “stand out” at the lake or next BBQ may not be a priority to some, for others it is a consideration.
