Polar Gear Large Family Cooler - Insulated Cool Bag for Picnics, Camping, Outdoor Activities 30L, Blue

After a load of researching i chose this cooler. The brand doesn't disappoint and it is very well made. Large as well. I bought it to transport my Christmas meat joints. It easily fitting 2xleg of lamb, 2xbeef, 2xgammon and a chicken for a 5 hour drive and no signs of defrosting when I got home. Perfect.

The dimensions are actually much smaller than listed. Actual measurements of the cooler I received are 17" x 9.5" x 11". A disappointment since I really needed a cooler at least 25"x25"x11".

i bought 3 of these to take food on holiday with us in the summer. They were great - very roomy - and kept the food cool for hours. I packed them up the night before we left and put the whole cool bag into the freezer (took out the drawers) and then we were good to go the next day.

This appears to be a high quality item.It is wide rather than deep and I find it too big and bulky but it will no doubt suit a young family.Delivery was rapid. I like the pocket it incorporates. Everything I need for the beach.. should be able to go into this one bag, including my sandwiches and drinks of course. As other reviewers have stated, the pull on the zip does come off, but can be slotted back in; it just means extra care is needed when opening/closing, so as not to lose it.As I live in a rural area, I find this bag very useful for transporting fridge produce from the supermarket. I notice 2 freezer blocks may not remain frozen - in an empty bag, for too long, but even so, 'a pile' of fridge produce will remain cool under these conditions, until I am home, which is more safe transportation than previously ie without using the cool bag. My journey is about 1 hour each way and before picking up the fridge foods, I was delayed for several hours seeing to other matters, then I shopped, then I drove straight home. The fridge produce was still cool. It is June, the weather is not hot but the sun was shining and the cool bag was on the floor on the passenger side of the car, under the window, with a jacket on top of it (as the boot was full).I hope this detail is of help when deciding if this is the right bag for you.

Used it during the resent heatwave it kept things for a very long time . Lots of space to put your food in. the zip is ok just be careful you don't let it caught on the inside looks lovely the quilty is and is great for picnic or carrying frozen food from the shops so it's very versatile.
