Igloo Heavy-Duty 25 Qt BMX Ice Chest Cooler with Cool Riser Technology

Product Information

Still, despite the thinner plastic, the Igloo is still a tough cooler and I’m sure you could put it through a beating and it’ll come out fine. Additionally, the handle runs so close to the cooler's side that it runs into the rubber latches if they're not properly sealed. The cooler also features an easy-grip stainless steel handle, step plates and Cool Riser Technololgy®. Because it’s blow-molded and not roto-molded, the plastic is thinner and more flimsy compared to other major brands. Igloo touts that the BMX 25 (which stands for Blow-Molded eXtreme; the construction plastic they use) is built for sturdiness and performance, with diamond plate metal "kick plates" and "tough, oversized hinges.

However, the rubber latches are a bit on the soft side and could be damaged eventually by temperature, sunlight, or pulling too hard, though they did fine during our testing. I’m rarely carrying just beer, and the YETI is often much more useful for picnics than the above graph suggests. The contents of the Igloo rose above 50 degrees at 78 hours, so there’s a good chance you’ll have frosty beers through your entire three-day weekend with this cooler. After running tests on its ice retention and insulation, we've learned some surprising things about the RTIC 20 Qt Hard Cooler.

We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others. Holding up to 37 cans, this rugged cooler is built with a heavy-duty blow-molded construction with a triple-point stainless steel swing handle that features a rubber grip for a secure hold.

It lacks an air/watertight seal, which loses it some points on insulation, and the rubber latches can catch against your leg if you carry it the wrong way around, but it's miles ahead of your old ice bucket or gas station styrofoam. That’s why we’re still working hard every day to innovate, create, and make it easier for you to get out, work hard and play even harder.And through it all we haven’t lost sight of our original goal—to create products that enable the pursuit of happiness (however you define it).

Part of the reason that the Igloo outperforms so strongly here is because of the blow-molded construction. Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item. It’s also ideal for the Friday night takeaway run, just load the Igloo up in the back of your car or van, put your bag of hot takeaway food in there, close the lid and drive, relaxed knowing the hot takeaway will still be hot when you get home, plus it keeps the takeaway food smell from sticking to your car furniture. Overall, we found the Igloo insulation to be pretty good for its size and are quite impressed with its performance in our insulation tests.The most obvious feature of the BMX 25 is the inches and centimeter approximate measurements right across the top of the lid to help measure the (surely impressive) size of the fish you may be catching while using this little chest.

Engineered for durability and performance, the lightweight BMX can withstand harsh circumstances and travel wherever you desire.I also think rotomolded is a better choice if you’re planning on taking your cooler on a lot of adventures—rotomolded coolers can withstand tougher treatment. The Igloo BMX 25 cooler is just the right size to fit a flask, or some cans of fizzy drinks plus sandwiches or pre heated food. Again, the tests I ran don’t mimic how you’d likely use this cooler: opening, closing, putting on the hot sand, etc. The company boasts it has "20% thicker foam" and can maintain four days of ice retention, though it admits that such results are achieved under its controlled tests.
