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

Product Information

While this test doesn’t really equate to real-world usage, it does give us some objective data so we can compare these coolers. 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. Despite having the largest capacity of the small hard-sided coolers I tested (25 quarts vs 24, 22, and 20), it’s the lightest when empty. Just as a side note the cooler was pre chilled for around 12hys and only opened twice in a 24hr period. Engineered for durability and performance, the lightweight BMX can withstand harsh circumstances and travel wherever you desire.

Additionally, water easily spills out without a seal to hold it in — a negative for something that could tip over in the back seat around a tight bend. 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. The extra-thick foam walls and insulated lid realize particularly good cooling performance, keeping the cooler cool for up to four days!The plastic is thinner and the manufacturing method allows for sharper corners, so there’s more internal space to go around. We also found that the lid's topography prevents it from being an excellent surface for your cold can or even a comfortable seat. The YETI Roadie 24 performed the best on all of my ice retention and insulation tests, but I’m not convinced it was that much better, especially considering it’s more like 250% the cost of the Igloo BMX. The most obvious feature of the BMX 25 is the inches and centimeter approximate measurements right across the top of the lid to help measure the (surely impressive) size of the fish you may be catching while using this little chest.

The world of coolers is a vast and variable market, and the BMX 25 threads the needle in the middle. After running tests on its ice retention and insulation, we've learned some surprising things about the RTIC 20 Qt Hard Cooler. International products have separate terms, are sold from abroad and may differ from local products, including fit, age ratings, and language of product, labeling or instructions. However, we feel that the dark grey coloring likely works against this cooler if you do happen to leave it in the sun. The BMX 25 cooler box from Igloo holds 23 liters and is designed for its high durability and cooling performance making it an absolute favorite among construction workers.

With four tie-down points and a molded fish measuring ruler, as well as class-leading performance and durable construction, the Igloo BMX 25 cool box is a great compact solution for angling and fishing trips. Its rotation-molded construction, extra-large hinges, reinforced bottom and corner protection ensure that this dark blue and black cooler can withstand the roughest conditions. The Igloo BMX 25 may be small and light, but features both Igloo Cool Riser technology and extra-thick walls with Igloo Ultratherm insulation, so it still provides the usual performance level you would expect from an Igloo cool box. After hundreds of questions from my friends about the best gear, I figured thousands of guys must have the same problems finding the best cooler for their money. 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.

Despite its small and lightweight size, the BMX 25 cool box features Igloo Cool Riser technology and extra-thick walls with Igloo Ultratherm insulation, allowing for up to 4 days ice retention making the BMX 25 one of the best performing small Igloo cool boxes. New: A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item in original retail packaging (where packaging . cans and as much ice as we could fit, the Igloo's large handle helps make this cooler reasonably easy to transport.There’s no gasket in the lid which allows it to leak when tipped over and also reduces the insulation significantly on hot days. I tried to pre-cool as much as possible before we went away and it kept the content incredibly chilled so very happy indeed. I also think rotomolded is a better choice if you’re planning on taking your cooler on a lot of adventures—rotomolded coolers can withstand tougher treatment. I’m rarely carrying just beer, and the YETI is often much more useful for picnics than the above graph suggests. The Igloo BMX 25 cooler is just the right size to fit a flask, or some cans of fizzy drinks plus sandwiches or pre heated food.

In the chart below, you can see how the Igloo’s space efficiency compares to its competition—I get this number by dividing the number of cans a cooler holds by its liquid quart capacity. The Igloo BMX 25 is an excellent cooler for you if you’re more interested in a good deal than you are style. The company boasts it has "20% thicker foam" and can maintain four days of ice retention, though it admits that such results are achieved under its controlled tests.The handle stays pretty much where you leave it, making a quick set-it-down-to-close-the-back-hatch maneuver a cinch. com/en/1019369-igloo-bmx-25-cooler-for-construction-23-liters-dark-blue-black/ 50537//iglo Igloo BMX 25 cooler for construction 23 liters dark blue/black https://images. 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 doubt you’d place a single hot dog in your cooler with seven pounds of ice and let it sit around for four days, unopened.
