This cooler has been great for our camping and fishing trips! We bought our cooler last year in early Spring and have taken it on numerous 4 and 5-day trips. It has never failed us and always keeps the beverages/food very cold our entire trip. We use 2 to 4 half-gallon (cleaned) milk cartons that are 3/4 full with frozen water and place them inside the cooler and leave them overnight. The next day, we remove the jugs, load the cooler and use ice to keep things cold - works like a charm!
The size is also just right for storing enough food/drinks for our trips. It's a little heavier than some of our previous coolers however, that is to be expected with how sturdy and durable it is. Love the front latches, the ability to lock it and the "non-slip" pads on the bottom.  Everything about the cooler is a thoughtful design!
