Igloo Heavy-Duty 25 Qt BMX Ice Chest Cooler with Cool Riser Technology

Product Information

The plastic is thinner and the manufacturing method allows for sharper corners, so there’s more internal space to go around. If that’s important to you, or if money isn’t an issue for you and you want the absolute best quality possible, check out the YETI Roadie 24. It does cost more than the Igloo, but I think the variety of features, style, and boost in insulation (plus the gasket on the lid) make it a more versatile and durable option. Despite the BMX hinges being proclaimed as delivering "extended performance," it is possible to pull the mounting screws right out of the lid by overextending the open lid.

But the 25 is an ideal size for a single person to carry, and it has capacity for a big picnic, or supplies for an overnight camping trip for two.I’m not going to share too many details about industrial plastic production because that’s super boring, but there are a few key differences between blow-molded construction and the popular rotomolded construction that YETI, RTIC, and many other brands use. If you’re all about the overland truck experience and want a cooler that looks like military cargo, you’ll likely want a different cooler.

The cool box cools so well that even ice will stay cold for up to 4 days in an ambient temperature of 30 degrees! There are also a few interesting design features like the stainless steel kick plate—it’s mainly for design and it reminds me a little of the toys I used to play with when I was seven, but you can kick the front of your cooler all you want with no recourse. If you want to upgrade your individual-sized cooler without spending hundreds on the competition, we recommend this one. The Igloo BMX 25 is an excellent cooler for you if you’re more interested in a good deal than you are style. They mention that it is a good coolbox that keeps items cold for days, and the icing is still in tact.Triple point grab handle with stainless steel reinforcement and rubber grip provide premium touch points. We think the handle could be improved a bit by a more forgiving, squishy section, but honestly, the overall larger size and ergonomic shape of the handle and cooler edges make this ice chest a breeze to carry, compared to the other coolers in this review.
