I bought this cooler in the spring and have used it so many times. It&#x27;s perfect to load up to take kayaking, take on the boat, over to a friends, or out on the golf course. It&#x27;s easy to carry and always gets lots of attention. It keeps ice well as long as you keep it closed up and if you have room to air it up a bit. Sometimes finding the drink you want from the bottom can be a challenge, but not enough to make me dislike this cooler at all. I&#x27;d recommend this cooler to anyone that is on the go &amp; needs free hands to carry other things.
