The only somewhat unique feature is the embedded fish ruler on the top of the lid. This feature is on quite a few other cooler brands’ products, but for some reason doesn’t seem to be as prevalent on new models as of late. It is refreshing to see it included with Arctic Zone’s products. The best cool bags are solid and durable; the worst have the exterior casing rip after only one strong tug.

As for build quality, we don’t see any weak points. These coolers are Certified Bear Resistant and utilize quality materials and craftsmanship. But the most notable aspect of their quality is Arctic Zone’s limited lifetime warranty. There are very few cooler brands on the market that have lifetime warranties. And for it to be offered from a brand that traditionally focused on soft-sided coolers is a welcome surprise.

The description says ice lasts 3 days. I've never seen ice last anywhere close to this, but we are opening the cooler often when we use it.
