Questions & Answers
It was shipped from Oregon, not Florida, and if you want to return it, it will cost you a lot of money. I wanted to return it, and it would have cost me $40. 00 dollars, so I kept it, and I'm glad I did. It's the best cooler I've ever had, and I'm 71 years old and have had a lot. It kept everything cold for two days.
For a trip to the Philippines, I packed frozen bacon and scallops. Everything was still frozen after 24 hours (not as hard as it had been when I started the trip), but frozen nonetheless.
It's not as bad as carrying a big jumbled ice chest; I carry it across my body and it's fine.
It will seal perfectly if you roll it twice and clip it. I've been using mine religiously for about a month and have had no problems with leaks or spills. This was an excellent purchase!

It's possible that the amount of time spent on ice is exaggerated. I went with the large size. This is the ideal cooler. In the summer, however, you won't be able to keep your ice for 24 hours. Fits 18 cans and ice in a very comfortable manner. With ice, it could hold up to 24 people, and the interior and exterior materials appear to be very durable. First test: pretty extreme first run, 18 beers and ice in a closed cooler, stuck in my shed on a hot summer day (probably 105 inside). I had no ice after 24 hours; the water and beer were still cold, but it was clear that the ice had vanished for several hours. Second test: I took it to the racetrack three days in a row. Around 11 a. m. every day: 00 put in 20 fridge cold beers and a 7 pound bag of ice; the cooler was frequently opened; I tried to keep it in the shade as much as possible, but it received plenty of sun; the outside temperature was probably 83-84 degrees. The average temperature is 88 degrees. Every day, around 7 a. m. , I leave. 00 p. The ice and water mixture in the cooler was still icy cold. It did a fantastic job. I don't believe it will keep ice for 24 hours in any summer circumstance, but I won't need it, so it gets an A from me. The large's diameter will hold 10 cans, and the height will easily hold two rows, allowing for a total of 20 cans and ice. The shoulder strap is about as comfortable as 20 cans of soda, and the ice can dig into your shoulder. It's also fairly easy to carry by the buckle, which can be used as a handle. The more you drink, the lighter it becomes, until it's rolled up and the size of a newspaper by the end of the day.
This pack is AMAZING; I used it on a trip through Arizona, New Mexico, and Nevada earlier this summer. This cooler, which held my insulin and was strapped to my motorcycle luggage rack in temperatures as high as 106 degrees, was strapped to my motorcycle luggage rack. Every day, I spent 4 to 7 hours in the sun, and there was ice in the bottom. kept my insulin cool and allowed me to drink a cold beverage along the way: ) As an added bonus, the soft pack was simple to bungie down and load compared to a 'box. ' The Ice Mule is one of my favorites. I received the Orange pack, which you can see in this photo of me from the trip.
A cooler! When I was traveling for work, I purchased this cooler to transport pumped breast milk home. The best features are as follows: br>1) it fits in my suitcase and rolls up to about the same size as a pair of rolled-up jeansbr>2) it's waterproof. I'm serious. I've filled this small cooler with just ice from the hotel ice machine a few times, then carried it on the plane the entire way home. There was not a single drop of water. Seams that are extremely strong and durable. br>3) it maintains the temperature of the contents. Frozen, if you will. I've had frozen breast milk, packed this cooler with ice, and returned home to find the milk still solidly frozen and the ice barely melted. It had been in the refrigerator for at least 5 hours. br>4) It is lightweight. I needed something that could easily be transported. The clipping closure is useful for attaching to things like a rolling suitcase handle, and the strap position makes it easy to carry on your back. br>5) It's simple to clean up afterward. I dump the ice into a towel and wipe it away. After that, leave it to dry for the night. br>br>You could fit a 6-foot tall person in this space. It's simple to pack in the cooler and keep it cold with plenty of ice.
This was purchased to be used at the. I had previously purchased an IceMule large and was very pleased with it. I bought this to use at the beach or whenever I just need something to occupy myself and/or my wife for a day. It works perfectly. It keeps food cold for a long time and is extremely portable. I was a little skeptical about it being on a strap, but the way the attachment points are set up, it easily stays on your shoulder. I just don't get the "Yeti thing" in terms of value for money; it's more of a status symbol, if that's the right word. LOL. Several people have complimented me on how attractive and useful this is.
The majority of the route is on dirt. A DRZ400S was the bike I was riding. After three and a half days of exhausting riding, we turned around and reversed the route. We only got as far as the Idaho state line. br>br>I brought a Trangia 27 cook kit, which is designed for more than just boiling water if you're familiar with camping cook sets. This meant that I'd be cooking for my friends on a daily basis. Before the trip, I purchased an IceMule 10L cooler to transport eggs, cheese, sandwich meat, and other perishable items. br>br>Every day, we exited the mountains for gas and restocked with ice and food. It fit a bag of ice (or nearly all of it) in the cooler with whatever we wanted, including Jack and Diet Coke. For breakfast, I fried eggs with something else (usually Spam and grilled onions) every day. It worked perfectly and I would bring it again, even though it was heavy with food and ice on the back of my rack. I didn't add any air to the valve to try to insulate the contents better, and the ice lasted for at least 24 hours. br>br>Strongly suggested. br>br>.
In theory, this is fantastic. However, the performance was extremely poor. Since November 2018, I've used the Ice Mule four times a week. If insulation performance had a star rating, it would be a three. Pack a lunch in the morning because the (early) afternoon is still cold. When you work 10, 12, or 16 hour days, everything is already warm when you arrive home. If you're working outside and the Ice Mule is exposed to the sun, plan on keeping it cold for no more than 4 hours. br>br>The real issue is the fabric's extremely poor durability (and now I've discovered, interior). Although the overall construction is excellent, it is unable to overcome the failure of certain materials. After about three months of using the Ice Mule, I began to get "cuts" in the outer shell. I work on boats that have a lot of sharp edges and points. I assumed I had damaged the shell by catching it on an edge. Many more shell failures occurred over the next few months, and it became clear that the material was simply cracking. br>While drying the interior today, I noticed the inner shell had failed. br>br>I had high hopes for the Ice Mule. This is an excellent concept. br>Unfortunately, its mediocre thermal performance and utterly inadequate durability fall short of expectations.
