I searched, but saw very few postings about these coolers (http://polarbearcoolers.com/) here on Expo. Several people had mentioned them over on ADVRider, so I bought one, and then another (a 24 and 12 pack size).
The short of it is, for a soft sided cooler, they claim they'll keep ice for 24 hours on a 100 degree day. I'm inclined to believe it based on my experience. The downside is they're somewhat expensive and a bit bulky given their capacity. But it's a lot easier carrying a soft sided cooler than a conventional one. I typically use mine to keep stuff cool in the car for day hikes and afterward. Should get lots of use for an upcoming beach trip. They're also stiff enough, I can see using my 12 pack cooler on the back of my motorcycle.
Just wondering if others have had any experience, good or bad, with these coolers. I expected to see more info about them on this site, but we are a bit fridge and 5 day cooler-centric!
