Lifetime 28 qt. High Performance Cooler

I left this cooler in our car at the trailhead during a two-night backpacking trip, and I was honestly shocked at how well it did. I had a few cans and a few bottles in there for a full 48 hours, plus sandwiches and snacks just for the drive up/hike in. After taking out our food the ice only filled about half of the cooler, so I wasn’t sure how it would hold up. When we finished our hike we were so happy to find lots of ice still keeping our beverages cold! This has officially graduated to my go-to cooler for shorter trips. I also really appreciate a few of the design touches like the buckle-style latches instead of the stretchy rubber style on other coolers, the ability to carry it with the top grip handle or the two side handles, and the integrated bottle opener. The only slightly odd design choice I noticed is that there is no drain hole. Since it is relatively small I don’t have a problem draining from the top, especially if it means things stay cold longer!

I was lucky enough to receive a free cooler to test and leave an honest review! Immediately upon receiving the cooler, I could recognize its quality compared to other coolers I have owned or purchased. I don’t know if I will ever need its bear-proof feature, but I need it to be kid proof! I love that it is durable enough for anyone to use as extra seating. It is sturdy, so it has some extra weight to it. My 14 year old daughter can carry it one handed when it’s loaded with ice, drinks, and food, so most can handle it. The secure latches make it easier to carry by yourself. It fits perfectly in a utility wagon and I am still able to fit our other gear in the wagon, which I couldn’t do with our other cooler. This makes it perfect for small outings to get outside after work and school with these long summer evenings! We took ours to the river and it was perfect! Everything stayed cold with one bag of ice and we didn't have to lug a huge cooler!

This review is based on me receiving the product in exchange for a review. This 28 quart fusion cooler is awesome. I love the size of it makes it easier to use then a big roller cooler. It keeps items nice and cold for days. It seals really well and you can hear it seal when you close it.The cooler went to a car show and kept drinks nice and cold and doubled as a foot stool. The only improvements I would suggest is maybe side handles to carry instead of just having the big metal handle. I am short and the length is a bit awkward to lift into a trunk of a car. Also maybe cup holders on the top to hold drinks. Other than that it has been a great cooler that I think will last a long time.

Great quality cooler that is much more friendly a price than the “name” brands.
