When purchasing a cool box for camping or catering the key thing to remember is insulation. The igloo range of cool boxes are America’s leading brand because of the insulation used this is ultrafoam polyurethane which traps the air in small microscopic holes in the insulation by doing this prevents hot air penetrating the outer box so will keep food colder for longer up to 5 days on the Igloo Maxcold range. the Coleman extreme version of a 5 day cooler uses poly-lite which is very similar to polystyrene but to keep food cold for 5 days there insulation is twice the thickness so in turn the coolers by Coleman are much larger but still produce the same results.

A key factor in using a cool box for best results always put ice or ice packs on the top of your food as cold air drops if you put at bottom you will find very little effect as cold air drops and doesn’t rise the body of an igloo and the coleman coolers are made from ABS plastic so are very robust and strong this can also be used a as seat if need be as both can with stand 300lb of weight on the top both the igloo and coleman coolers are ideal for camping and are an essential to the outside catering companys for transporting food to venues around the country.
