We’d pair with the best handheld fan for the ultimate on-the-go cooling experience. We have an Icey-Tek, bought a few years ago and it's totally amazing.” (Reviewed by northerngirl2012) Our verdict Type: Thermoelectric | Capacity: 24L | Cold performance: 4-5 days | Material: Polyfoam | Weight: 4.6kg | Size: 38 x 24.5 x 42 cm What we likeA cool box keeps food and drink cool by insulating it from the outside environment. Unlike cool bags, which rely on the material properties of the bag to provide this insulation, there are different types of cool box. Some work in different ways: Whilst it may look relatively large and cumbersome, the top and side carry handles make it surprisingly portable. Weatherproof and leakproof, it can also keep dust and water out and your contents completely safe and protected from the elements, whatever the weather may bring. Mumsnet parents love spending time in the great outdoors, whether that’s camping holidays or simply picnics and days out in the sunshine. The best cool boxes have features that improve portability, such as wheels and extendable handles. The worst have uncomfortable handles and are heavy to carry. Durability

Date tested: June 2021 and May 2023. Capacity: measured with 330ml soft drink cans. We are not able to show every retailer and cheaper prices may be available. The cool boxes we tested Whilst cool bags are certainly the most portable, if you want to guarantee a cool drink for longer, it may be time to upgrade to the best cool box. Although relatively big and bulky, these robust and highly-insulated cooling boxes can house significant capacity and chill your contents for a number of days rather than hours.
