CoastlandBay Series Cooler Premium Everyday Use Insulated Rotomolded Cooler, Small Ice Chest for Tight Spaces, Soccer Games, & Tailgates

I have quite a few coolers, and am a personal fan of Rtic for their ice retention & budget-friendly prices. Sure, Yeti is 100% a phenomenal cooler, but you get about 95% of the same value at 1/2 - 2/3 the cost with Rtic. That being said, this Coastland Bay Series cooler falls under the same relative quality - I'd say about 75% of what a cooler like Yeti offers at an insanely cheap price. I purchased the 15qt cooler to turn into a live bait cooler, so I was perfectly willing to chance poor quality/insulation, especially after having read some bad reviews, some even claiming that the lid is hollow & not insulated. Well, this is FALSE. I cut a hole in the lid during the making of my livewell for bait and I can prove that it is indeed insulated. The construction is stout and, without any branding, you'd never know it wasn't an Rtic or a Yeti (except for the differently shaped rubber latches). I cannot speak for it's ice retention, as I only use it to keep baitfish cool, but I'd imagine that, given the size, it'd do just fine for half a day or maybe even a full day. This cooler isn't large enough for anything other than a few drinks or a lunch or two, so I wouldn't expect that it needs to retain freezing temps for longer than 10hrs. If you're looking to keep a few days worth of camping meals/beverages around 40 degrees, I'd strongly suggest spending more on an Rtic or something similar but, if you're looking for something to keep a few beers cold while you fish or work, etc., then this is the cooler for you. I'm not sure how they can produce and sell this cooler so cheaply but, if you're looking for a quality rotomolded day-cooler for under;$100, get yourself a Coastland Bay Series.

I use this cooler every day for lunch. I work in an office, so I don't know how it would fare in direct heat, but I have reusable freezer packs that I put in there along with my lunch and it stays cold all day. Built very sturdy.The only likely source of failure will be the foam handle material. It feels like it will crumble and tear at some point. But the metal handle will still be usable so I don't worry about it at all.

Purchased and used 3 times. Each time, the ice lasted less than a day and not even close to what the company claims. I contacted the company and they gave me a bunch of excuses involving the amount of ice, how many times it was opened, etc. How about this: 4 bottles of water with ice to the top, sealed, and left in an air-conditioned hotel room for 12 hours. Upon return, it was just cold water. Do not buy this item. You will regret it.

Purchased to use every day for work. The ice melts completly before the end of the day, even though every thing started off cold and filled completly with ice.

This a great cooler for one day trips and industrial lunchboxes. It’s much lighter than other 15qt coolers such as yeti, K2 or Grizzly.Perfect size to hold 13 bottles of water standing upright.Cooler with a two one pound ice packs will keep drinks cold for 24 hoursOnly negatives is there isn’t a spot for a shoulder strap. The metal handle is great but doesn’t have locking tabs to keep it in the upright position and falls to the side when you set it down. Made overseas but it’s also a 40-60 dollar cooler.I would buy again
