Plopped next to the picnic table, sunk in the grass in your backyard, or stuck in the back seat of a beach-bound car—it's cooler season!
Coolers are hallmarks of summer—plopped next to the picnic table, sunk in the grass in your backyard, stuck in the back seat of a beach-bound car—and they’re simple, or at least they used to be: You fill them with ice and a bunch of beverages and you’re ready to party. But nowadays there are a bunch of different cooler designs, and each one claims to be the best, many of them boasting that they'll keep the interior icy cold for days on end.
When filling a cooler, ice matters, so I asked a friendly mixologist what sort of ice he’d choose for a cooler. Solid ice rather than crushed or nugget was suggested, so that’s what I used. For accurate testing, I armed myself with two ThermoWorks remote read thermometers with four ambient temperature probes each, plus a Thermapen to measure soda temperature, and a scale to weigh ice.A cooler's primary job is keeping its temperature stable.
The Igloo Legacy was the only one that sustained actual damage, with one side of the front handle breaking when it was dropped on its front; it also popped open upon impact. The Coleman Steel Belted has the same type of handle and latch, so perhaps it was just luck that it survived and the Igloo didn’t; however, it also popped open when it was dropped on its front.
