Seavilis Heavy Duty roto Molded ice Chest Cooler 45qt (Seafoam Green)

This is as good if not better than it's bigger brand name competitors. Very well made and works great.

Don't accept the reviews for the 35 quart that complain it's missing the divider and basket - the description clearly states this sized cooler doesn't come with those items standard!Only done one day and one overnight trip with this and it held ice well. We had a lot of items in the cooler so not a ton of room for ice - more ice may hold up longer. We did precool but had not used any block ice.The hardware is very robust, much better latches than competing T latches! Drain and air release valves work great.You can get creative and make your own divider and basket if you desire. I'm sure mine aren't as good as theirs but I only spent $12 and a couple hours of time.

Great cooler for the money, we've used it multiple time from camping trips to driving across the country and we always end up with ice left in the cooler at the end of the trip. Weve gone through so many coolers over the years because of latches or hinges breaking, but weve had this for nearly a year and it's so sturdy. The key to the cooler actually doing its job is at least 24 hours before it needs to be pre chilled, which is mentioned in the instructions.

I was looking for a cooler that wasn't too large and that would keep ice for 3 to 4 day camping trips. Soon after I received my Seavilis cooler, I went on a 4 day trip in British Columbia, where I would not have a chance to refresh the ice or buy more food. The weather was 60 to 65 deg F. during the day and 30 to 35 deg F. overnight. After 4 days, the ice the cooler was still intact! I used a 1 gal bottle of drinking water that I froze the week before the trip, two smaller blue ice blocks and a 1/2 gal ziploc bag of cube ice (on top). The cube ice was only half melted at the end of the trip, the blue ice was still about 1/2 solid, and the gal bottle of water was still frozen solid at the bottom of the cooler. I filled the cooler with blue ice and a some other frozen water bottles the night before I left, and when I packed my food in the morning, I used 1.5 inch blocks of foam to take up any left over space in the cooler. I also made sure my pillow and some other insulating items were packed on and around the cooler. Beside the ice keeping performance, I really like the build quality of the Seavilis cooler. The fit and finish of the item is great, and all of the features of the cooler are well thought out. I don't think it would the least "bear proof" however, so look elsewhere if that is your primary concern. I pack all my gear in 12 gal. totes, which are similar height to the 35 qt cooler - so my load space is neatly organized and the cooler isn't so heavy it's hard to move around. I camp in a group and usually only take food for myself, but the 35 qt cooler could easily keep food for two people for 4 days with careful planning. For my use, and the price of the unit, I consider the Seavilis 35 qt cooler an excellent value.

wow, i am impressed by this cooler. I filled it with two 7 lb bags of ice (still bagged not out of the bags) Thursday night in preparation for a camping trip from south Florida to the middle of Florida, in September, which is the middle of summer still. 91 degree weather and 85+ humidity made it a miserable hot time. Friday we left after packing it with several (5 large) freezer packs and 1 loose bag of ice, plus refrigerated food. Come Monday afternoon, there's still about 1/3 of the ice remaining. There is some condensation around the drain plug, however, that's to be expected as its the spot that has the least insulation. the build quality is fantastic, its a solid solid cooler, heavy, but not overly so, even packed. Now, granted, the cooler was in the shade a majority of the time, but was opened only when i prepped food for each meal. i kept drinks in a separate lesser quality cooler that did not hold ice nearly as long (2 days). Overall this thing wins for value, build, truth to its claim for ice holding ability, and size. the 35 qt that i got obviously does not come with the accessories that come with the larger ones (as mentioned in the description of the item), but they would be overkill for what i wanted. the 35 was the perfect size.
