TOUGHEST ICE CHEST IVE EVER SEEN

TOUGHEST ICE CHEST IVE EVER SEEN
I’m a truck driver and I bought this so I could stop eating gas station food and have something tough that can hold ice awhile and keep groceries cold. In that department, it does really well! All night sitting and I drain about a quart of water on average.We’ll it sits behind my driver seat and I needed to pull off for a few hours nap the other night. I took it out and put it on the back of the cab which is just open. No rails or truck bed. Of course, I forget about it when I woke up a couple hours later and started driving. It made it about an hour back there without falling off. We’ll I was taking a hard right curve at about 65 miles an hour and we heard a loud thud followed by a scraping sound. Had no idea what the hell that was but when my girl noticed the empty space behind my seat, we knew what it was. Now this is about $100 of food that she prepped for the trip and I wasn’t going to let that go. We went back and I found it just like in the pictures. Damn thing slammed the ground and slid at 65mph on the highway into a guard rail and didn’t open up, nothing inside broke, and it just got a little scuffed. Sucked that it messed up one of the handles and I gotta live with that now, but wow! It’s stupid-proof. When I get another ice chest for my boat next season, i’m definitely buying an arctic.

We love our Artic! It’s very durable and a great quality compared to the other brands. We have a Telluride though and we were a little disappointed when we realized that it didn’t fit in the trunk. 😅 totally our fault, but check your vehicle ahead of time and don’t be like us!

Absolutely love this cooler. Totally worth the money. We upgraded from an old Coleman for a 4 day hot and sunny raft trip, 5 including camping the day before. Had 2 blocks of ice at the bottom and still had some ice when we got off the water the last day.

This cooler is by far one of the best that I have had. I’m from Louisiana and in this heat It’s really hard to keep a cooler with ice. This one holds ice for multiple days no problem. I love that it comes with multiple accessories to section it off. That’s incredibly helpful.

Had a bid of a bumpy start due to the delivery. The first one was delivered outside of our property on a day we did not know . Surprise it was not anywhere to be found. The seller sent another on at no cost to me.
I was informed of the delivery every step of the way this time. Purchased because we always have to go on 6 hour drives at least once a month. I was looking for something that would keep our food very cold and not swimming in melted ice after 6 hours. It is heavier and larger than I was expecting. Only 4 stars so far because we have not used it yet to find out how long ice lasts in it. to keep food cold. Will update that later.
