Best Use
Iceland Coolers are built with premium materials and engineered for exceptional ice retention. Features like the integrated pressure release valve allow you to equalize pressure without opening the lid, helping preserve the cooler's internal temperature.
To get the best long-term cooling performance from your Iceland Cooler, we recommend pre-chilling it before loading your ice and supplies. This prevents your pack ice from being used to cool the cooler itself.
An easy way to pre-chill your cooler is to freeze two gallon-sized containers of water and place them inside overnight. Remove them when you're ready to pack for your trip. A properly pre-chilled Iceland Cooler can maintain below-freezing temperatures for up to nine days under field-tested conditions. Keep in mind that frequent opening or leaving the lid open will reduce cooling performance, especially in warmer environments.
For extended camping, hunting, or overlanding trips, maximize ice retention by storing most of your food and beverages in a larger cooler, such as a 45-quart or 75-quart cooler, and using a smaller 20-quart cooler for daily access. Open the larger cooler only once per day to replenish the smaller cooler and minimize temperature loss.
