We’ve tested Polar Bear coolers for seven years now, buying them or receiving test units from Polar Bear. For a long time Polar Bear led the way in soft-cooler designs. Recently, however, we’ve been let down by the lifespan of its soft coolers (though not this backpack in particular). But with care, you can extend the lifespan of any soft cooler—the number one rule seems to be not to leave it out in the sun.
Despite claims that an electric cooler can get 40 degrees below ambient temperatures, we mostly saw temperatures that would quickly lead to spoiled food over the course of a long trip. You also need to supply 12-volt power constantly to keep things cold, or treat the electric cooler like a regular cooler lgloo Cooler and pack it with frozen items anyhow. The interior of the lid is domed to allow a little wiggle room for taller items as well. One of the biggest deals and why we rank this so high is that lid. Without a compressor and cooling chemicals like a fridge, the air temperature is incredibly important.
It is easy to move and carry as it is fitted with side handles, folding handle, and wheels. It has dual-top loading doors that are magnetically sealed to prevent heat loss or gain. It has two removable vertical dividers for loading versatility. Despite its size and price, the Cooluli is also built to last. This thing can literally run 24/7 for an entire year and still get the job done. On a boat or out camping, it won’t be a huge drain on your battery.
