I need some people to test a new cooler we're coming out with.
I need someone that goes to the desert a lot and also the river.
We're coming out with a new material for the cooler and have done some tests, but need some more done in the extreme conditions. I've found nobody abuses our coolers like the people on this thread!
If you go to the desert every other week or more give me a call.

It's summer in Australia, I'm sure one of the mates would be willing to give it a try down under and they can fill it with Victoria Bitter. Might have to wait till summer here in the states. I'll give it a whirl if no one else does.
Good Luck on Project!!!

We got to Ocotillo every other weekend and purposely do not bring our soft coolers for fear of them getting ruined. I would be happy to test new ones!

I don't go to the desert, but I'm going elk hunting in a few weeks... I would be gladt to see if they can hold alot of elk and ice in them. :) Nothing like a elk quater in a ice chest to test the stregnth of it.

We're on the go quite a bit. River boating on a regular basis, camping, and riding as well. I'd be happy to give it the NorCal test and report back to you. PM me if you want to fire one out my way.

I know you posted you have your testers, but if you want someone whose son races motocross, I am at practice 2 times a week, and racing on Sunday so I will use this cooler 3 times a week thru June, then we start going to the river up until Oct. I would say the racing is really rough on coolers I am buying new coolers every 3 to 4 months, I would love to find a cooler that actually lasts. Besides that you know the motocross scene, everyone knows everyone especially when we are at the national races like the World Minis in Vegas, or Ponca City in Oklahoma, and Loretta Lynns back on the east coast, I will be at all 3 this year.

We have two of these coolers. Not impressed. They should re-name these things to the "Ice for 1 1/2 days if your lucky" and if you get ice on the second day play the lotto.
We go to the desert constantly. I will be happy to drag, drive over, spill goo food into, whatever you need. :rollside:

I think you need to put a little more thought to the plastic clip that holds the shoulder strap on the 48 Pack Soft Sided Cooler. I had 3 of them, one the strap broke and the other the clip broke and the third one someone borrowed without asking.

I don't think these coolers were designed for a long trip. I have been using them for at least 14 years now in Havi and there is no comparison. They also serve as a great travel bag on planes.

Give a call we can send you out another strap.
We will also have new padded straps for sale at the LA Boat show.

Sorry you haven't had luck with our coolers. It maybe that your cooler is too big, or your not buckeling down the ends. Both are important to keeping ice long. But in 120 degrees you migh not have ice for the whole weekend..
If you have any questions feel free to call or send an email..

I said [B]MIGHT, I have people say they've had ice for 4 days, I've had ice for 4 days. All depends how you use it. We've tested those 5 day coolers. I haven't had it hold ice for 5 days in 120 degree heat.
If you have a boat you will love our cooler!
If you don't let me know and I'll give you a refund!!! :)
