Product Information

Dry goods basket (aka cooler basket): Cooler baskets keep your food suspended above the ice. They’re useful for keeping food dry. While YETI does charge a premium for their brand, that may be perfectly ok for you as the style of the cooler and wide variety of matching gear is mainly what you’re after. Capacity All in all, this works whether you’re having a party at your friend’s house to watch the big game or you’re going camping with your family for an extended weekend. Just don't expect that you'll get 10-day ice retention like in some other, rotomolded coolers. That won't be possible with this one.

The handle is comfortable and doesn’t put the cooler in an awkward position—you won’t need to bang up your shins and knees when lugging a heavy load in this. Features Fish ruler, baby!That being said, the Igloo BMX series will be more expensive than most other Igloo coolers in the same size range. But this is to be expected considering that you are getting superior build quality, features, durability, and ice retention. I haven’t compared these coolers against one another dropping them from any great heights, but it’s pretty clear that rotomolded coolers like YETI and RTIC are far more sturdy.

However, the latter has a much heavier emphasis on usage in nature, as its bigger options are reserved for big game like elk and moose, making the BMX series more suited for fishing and small game, in addition to parties and tailgating.

Compared to other high-end cooler brands on the market, these ice numbers fall about in line with those brands. They don’t quite reach the levels of, say, Techni Ice, but the ice life will far exceed the budget and even mid-range cooler brands on the market. I don’t own a Roadie 20, so I can’t say for sure, but with such a popular line of coolers, I’m confident YETI has invested a significant amount in the design of the Roadie 24, so that all seems believable to me. In this review, you’ll see how the Igloo BMX 25 compares with the YETI Roadie 24, the RTIC 20 QT, and the ORCA 20 QT.

My ice tests were all identical and were all performed under the same conditions at the same time. I placed a hot dog in each cooler, filled each with seven pounds of ice, and measured the internal temperature of the hot dog over the course of four days. Testing my 20 qt coolers

With this sort of ice range, you can use these coolers for a wide variety of applications: a weekend camping trip, a fishing excursion, a large tailgate, or even a week-long road trip. The rope handles are tied tight to bolted attachment points, and the rubber gasket inside as well as the rubber feet on the bottom are attached securely enough that we couldn’t pry them off. kept all our drinks and chilled food cold for the three days we were away, would have kept longer if needed but we had used it up, so much better than our old 12v coolbox

When it comes to situations where their coolers come in handy, both BMX coolers and Yeti coolers can be quiet useful for people who have adventures planned for the outdoors, whether it involves fishing, hunting, hiking or biking. We’ve tested thousands of dollars of outdoor gear over the years, and we’ve developed an eye for quality. While testing the Tundra, it became clear: Yeti didn’t cut any corners when making this cooler. The best of all? The BMX cooler is very light, unlike any rotomolded cooler out there. Being lightweight, it's easier to carry and definitely more portable. Actually, the Igloo BMX has been the only blow-molded cooler that made it to our list of best lightweight coolers.the smaller option is the 25 Quart Cooler, which weighs 11.29 pounds and has an outer dimension of 19.59 in. x 13.25 in. x 15.7 in. and an inner dimension of 11.5 in. x 8.75 in. x 14.75 in. When it comes to features, Igloo focuses on them being able to add to its BMX coolers’ performance. For example, the hinges and similar components are made of rust-resistant, stainless steel so that everything remains attached and the lid stays shut no matter how much the wind and rain blows. The main thing is that the handle stays strong when loaded with ice, beers, and food, and the rubber latches are still as good as new.
