Arctic Zone Titan Guide Series Cooler

This is a great cooler. I tried to get another just like it but it’s not available.

I needed something to keep drinks and lunch cold all day while sitting in the car. I drive all day for work and buying drinks and food on the road is just too expensive. I started using a hard cooler but it’s just too bulky as I already have a lot of sales materials in my car to carry around. Then I got a somewhat big backpack cooler but it also was too cumbersome to drag in and out of the car and it kept falling down onto the floor where I couldn’t get to it. Then the smaller coolers don’t have enough room for a lunchbox and 2-3 water bottles with ice packs.This one is perfect. It has a slot in the back on the inside that fits my 9x7 ice pack perfectly so no ice mess. It keeps it all perfectly cold all day even on hot days when my car is sitting in parking lots for hour(s) during my stops. It’ll fit my bento box and 2-4 bottles snugly. I also love the quick and easy lift opening it the top that lets me grab a water while I’m at a stoplight without having to fool with zippers. The magnets in the carry handles also help keep them together so they don’t get snagged on everything. It fits nicely in the passenger seat with my work bag and it’s bottom is weighted just enough to keep it from tumbling off the seat. I also love the zippered pockets for some snacks and the mesh side pockets hold my thermos of hot tea perfectly for a quick pick up and go bag as I leave for work. The one time I forgot to take the ice pack out overnight it was still cold in the morning but the ice pack had melted into cold water. So I don’t think it won’t go a whole weekend staying cold - but for a day trip it’s great. Maybe if you add more ice or packs it could? I’ve just only needed the one pack. I’d recommend this to anyone looking for a cooler to keep in their car for the day or I imagine it’d be great to keep under your desk at an office so you don’t have to use the shared refrigerator. It’s been a game changer for me and saved me tons of money by not having to buy cold drinks at convenience stores.

So far, I have only tested this cooler indoors, but it performed well. I placed 2 Titan ice packs and 6 cold drinks in it. After 24 hours, ice packs were still frozen, drinks were ice cold. After 48 hours, ice packs partially melted, drinks still ice cold. After 72 hours, ice packs were melted, drinks were still cold enough to be enjoyable. I only opened it from the small flap on top 1-2 times per day. I expect it will last a day, maybe even overnight, if outdoors. Had I filled it completely with drinks and ice, it would’ve lasted longer. I like that the base is wrapped in hard plastic, since it will sit on the ground, this will be easy to clean. I also like that the inside liner pulls up so it can dry completely. No more wet, unreachable corners inside. It has a drink holder on each side, and nice sized pockets in the front that I can fit enough stuff in so that I don’t have to take my backpack anymore for day trips. The carrying handles and shoulder strap are sturdy and comfortable to use. A nice feature is the small flap on top that can be used to remove an item without unzipping and opening up the entire top. That helps keep things cold longer, and it’s convenient since the flap closes with Velcro.

We took on a weekend boating tripProsKept drinks cold with loose ice for 24+ hours and it had been on the lake in the full sun for 6 hours or so. Obviously some ice had melted but when we went to repack the next day whatever was left was ice cold.No leaking at all unless tipped (we had it on our carpeted hotel room and it was bone dryLots of pockets, top pocket great for phonesMesh pockets are good for sunscreen etcWas comfortable enough to carry but took two of us to hoist it on each others backsConsOnly held 12-14 beers/water with loose ice and it weighed a TONMain zipper is already catchingZippered side pockets are a waste- they hold nothing unless it’s something very slimBottom line- I’m not sure I’d buy again but it does indeed keep our beer cold, 4 star rating because of that alone and it didn’t leak.

I bought this cooler for our Friends Vacation to St. Johns USVI and was specifically looking for a backpack cooler. We knew that some beaches we would need to walk a good distance and a good backpack would free my hands to carry other things and lets face it, coolers are heavy when you bring adult beverages.This cooler is awesome! It held ice really well, even on days when there was no shade. It never leaked, tons of pockets and most of them are waterproof, comfortable to carry, easily carried 30 cans with ice, and easy to clean. I used it as my carry on bag because it is so insulated you can not roll it up and put it in another bag. I was able to put all of my important things for the airport in the top pocket and two days of clothes, flip flops, book and my large water bottle.Now I take this backpack kayaking and any other place I would need a cooler. Everyone we traveled with said it was great purchase! This cooler is worth every penny and I would highly recommend it to anyone but especially if you love the outdoors it is a must have!

Love this cooler! A little expensive, but absolutely what I wanted for my Sportsman 120 yak. Fits perfect behind the seat, easy to retrieve drinks one handed. Perfect!

We’ve used this for kayak camping and car camping, and the beach now since getting it recently. Stayed cold with ice for 3 days on an island we kayaked to- kept the beers and some food very cold and no leaks whatsoever. Straps onto kayak beautifully and there are tons of pockets, hidden pockets, side stretch pockets and straps to lash. Just got back from a 2 night car camping trip today where it was packed with 2 large ice packs in the bottom then with beer and soda cans. I just unpacked and there was still ice in the middle of the ice packs. Was great for a back up cooler to alternate food and drinks between another, very portable to throw in for the beach and carry onto beach. I did lots of research on brand, size, durability, and this came out on top. It is rugged, and have had many already ask what it is and where I got it. Don’t hesitate to get this if you’re looking for a large rugged cooler.
