Titan Deep Freeze 40 Can Collapsible Cooler - Black

Product Information

Build quality is equally similar. And with Arctic Zone’s lifetime warranty, we may have to get a slight edge over them over Yeti. Start by examining the materials used to make the cooler. Soft canvas materials are great for day-to-day activities, like sporting events and home barbecues, but you’ll need a tougher exterior for hiking and camping trips. The Arctic Zone Titan Deep Freeze, 30-Can has an exterior that is abrasion and puncture resistant. It’s not going to rip if it brushes up against a tree branch. Simplemost Media

These are pretty straightforward coolers in their design. If it wasn’t for the Arctic Zone logo printed on the face of the cooler, you would be hard-pressed to be able to tell it from the masses of other premium coolers on the market. In addition, there are very few color options. At the time of this writing, we could only find 2 colors to choose from Gray and Titan Blue. Before you choose a cooler, you must consider its size. Size ultimately affects the portability. On top of that, you need to decide on the external material — whether you want a hard or soft case. If you need to carry it for extended times, opt for soft, but if you want one for large get-togethers, or you need durability, a hard case would be best.But what is missing is the popular “large” sized cooler. Where are the 70 to 80-quart options that most other premium cooler brands offer? This is a gap that we hope Arctic Zone will fill in the future. Oftentimes, you are only paying for a name or logo when you pay extra for a cooler. For some, having the words “Yeti” or “Orca” printed on their ice chest is worth the increased price of admission. But for others, if they can find a cooler that performs as well (or sometimes better!) than the big brands then they are all for it. Holds 30 cans. It's a great medium sized cooler. We can fit a few drinks, and lunch for our family of 4 in this cooler.

Ways to keep your family living costs down, and kids of all ages happy Get our Family newsletter – it's free monthly 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.Ice retention is one of the most discussed metrics of a cooler. No matter how many fancy features a cooler has, its build quality, or how attractive it is, all of that is a moot point if the ice chest can’t retain ice for long periods. For what is available, the overall shape and how the handles are oriented are very standard and what you are used to seeing with most other cooler brands. Arctic Zone Titan Deep Freeze Cooler Features/Build Quality Consider the large soft-sided cooler’s capacity. Let’s say your child has 15 teammates and they each drink one water bottle per game. A 16-can cooler would be fine. However, if your family of four drinks three cans per day and you’re going to be camping for a total of three days, you’ll need a cooler that can handle 36 beverages.

As for build quality, we don’t see any weak points. These coolers are Certified Bear Resistant and utilize quality materials and craftsmanship. But the most notable aspect of their quality is Arctic Zone’s limited lifetime warranty. There are very few cooler brands on the market that have lifetime warranties. And for it to be offered from a brand that traditionally focused on soft-sided coolers is a welcome surprise. Arctic Zone Titan Deep Freeze Cooler Ice Retention 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. Insulation: You want your cooler to be effective at insulating, so it keeps its contents chilled for as long as possible. The performance in this can vary — some models will keep ice frozen for up to a week, while others will only last a day. 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.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. 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. 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. Depending on what you carry inside your cooler, it may begin to smell slightly over time. The good news is there are several all-natural ways to combat this and restore your cooler so that you can continue to use it for many more years to come. Sprinkle baking soda all over the inside of the cooler and let it sit overnight. Rinse it clean the next morning and the odors should be gone. If you have white distilled vinegar on your shelf and no baking soda, you can spray the vinegar on the inside of the cooler and let it sit for a few minutes before wiping it clean. Vinegar is also a powerful deodorizer and it even has the ability to kill germs.

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 Lots of storage on the cooler. 2 zipper compartments in front for holding essential items. 2 side mesh pouches, and a bungee cord on top to tie things to the top of the cooler. To replicate getting bits in and out of the bag, we open and close it at regular intervals throughout the test. With Arctic Zone rolling out a premium hard-sided cooler lineup, we are in a much better place to compare the brands.All the cool bags we tested so far perform decently, but the best ones keep water cool all day, whereas in the worst, the water is closer to room temperature by the end. Leakproof When discussing premium coolers, price is always the main talking point. And even as the selection of high-end coolers continues to expand, there is an established range of price points even within that category. For instance, the most expensive of the “premium” coolers can cost quite a bit more than a premium cooler on the lower end. So while all of the features you expect to be on this tier of ice chest are present, there isn’t much more other than the fish ruler and potentially the wire basket. 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. 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.)
