Yeti v Icey Tech

[scottbott]

if you freeze 2 or 5 litre bottles of water and put them in your esky they keep things cold longer than the packs of ice

Follow basic rules and a 'Passive' non powered cooler can work very well up to around 3 days. But those who think you can bung 20 cans of warm Fosters in one with a few ice packs expecting the beer to be cool on camp are always going to be disappointed.

All your beer/wine/milk/salad/bacon etc needs to come directly out of the fridge or freezer and straight into the cooler box.
Use as many ice packs as you can 10 - 20 is good.
Don't put warm stuff in there on camp expecting it to cool.
Lift the lid as few times as you can, for as less time as you can.
Don't allow the cooler to sit in direct sunlight.

Agreed 100% on the information above.

I've always pre chilled the box and everything to go in it. IMO the Icey Tek just isn't worth the money, my old igloo extreme cost £60 10 years ago it was a great box and easily lasted 3 days.

I'm kicking myself now for giving it away!
