Cobalt 25 Quart Roto-Molded Super Ice Cooler | Large Ice Chest Holds Ice Up to 3 Days |

This Cobalt 25 is extremely sturdy, well-constructed, sleek and the perfect size for my needs. It keeps ice cold for more than 24 hours and that is all I need for my use. The latch mechanism is a standout feature. Instead of the typical rubber T-pulls seen on most coolers (even high-end brands like YETI), this cooler uses a lever-action cam-latch that locks the lid down securely with minimal effort — a smarter, more ergonomic solution. The side handles are thick, durable, and thoughtfully designed so they can be easily replaced if ever needed — not something you see on most coolers. The integrated bottle opener is polished, solid, and made of real metal — it feels substantial and not flimsy. One underrated feature: both sides of the cooler have recessed tie-down channels, ideal for securing it with ratchet straps. Whether you're mounting it to a Jet Ski, truck bed, boat deck, or ATV rack, the cooler stays firmly in place without shifting. It also has non-slip rubber feet on the bottom, adding even more grip and stability. Even better, the straps sit out of the way of the lid, so you can open the cooler without unfastening the strap. The cooler is also equipped with a sturdy screw-in drain plug and has thick roto-molded insulation — which means it’s built for durability and efficiency. I’ve seen people complain about ice not lasting 3–5 days, even with top brands like YETI, but those expectations often come from lab conditions, not real-world use. For me, if this cooler holds ice for a full day in normal, hot outdoor conditions, that’s a success — and so far, it has exceeded this expectation. Between the smart design, durable construction, and attention to detail, the Cobalt 25 feels like a cooler that will last many years. Very impressed so far.

Received the cooler today. Well made and easy draining with plug. Cheaper than the yeti brand. Very sturdy cooler. Also like the color choices available. Bought it for the beach. Compact and lightweight. Would buy again.

These are great coolers! I love how they latch closed and the soft handles on the sides. Perfect size! Color selection is awesome!

Keeps ice very good. Perfect size for car. Latches much easier than yeti.

Great quality and super cold

Keeps ice very well! Very good design and durable.

It doesn't do it's job if it were my employee I would suspend it then fire it when it came back to work.

I spent a lot of time researching coolers. Mainly looking for something to keep in my car since I am on the road most of the day for work. Was mainly interested in the Roto Molded coolers for maximum ice retention. The first cooler I bought was a Yeti Roadie 15 qt, but decided to look for something a little bigger but that had some of the features that the Roadie had like quick release latches vs the silicone straps for securing the lid, and had to have a water drain, as several of the smaller size coolers don’t have the drain, and finally the Yeti has a nice shoulder/hand carry strap that most coolers in this size range don’t have, the Cobalt doesn’t have a strap but it has a strap style carey handle on each side and a place to attach a tie down strap which I could easily thread a shoulder strap of some type through. The point is, this Cobalt cooler seems to be just the right size for many applications. Fast forward to it arriving, at first glance I was somewhat disappointed in the quality of the cooler and actually thought maybe I had received a used one that was being resold as new. What’s not noticeable in the pictures is all of the fine swirl marks or scratches that are all over it inside and out, along with an oily or greasy film on it. Maybe it’s just something that happens in production, it was also nicked in a couple of places. Let’s just say the Yeti didn’t have any of these issues. I decided to submit for a replacement to give it another try to see if the next would be better, but pretty much the same thing, and this replacement had some discolorations areas on the back, and the lid didn’t seem to sit just right before closing the latches, so I was even more disappointed with the replacement, and will be returning the replacement. I don’t think these are manufactured in the USA, and although so many things are not, I’ve seen much better overall quality in other non USA made products. Another thing to note is the tag on the cooler says up to 5 days ice retention but the details on Amazon says 3 days, which is it? With all that being said, I placed 3 medium frozen ice blocks in the bottom to cover the entire bottom surface, and placed an 8 lb bag of ice in the cooler and closed it. Its been 48 hours and there is somewhere near 40% of the ice still remaining so I anticipate at 72 hours there still might be a little remaining or pretty close to all melted. Didn’t put any beverages or anything which would have filled the cooler up and possibly held ice for longer. I put an old digital thermometer inside the cooler and it’s showing about 45 degrees inside (not sitting in the ice). What really matters is it seems to be holding ice and temp pretty good, temp the cooler is in is 65-70 degrees. I usually don’t write such long or detailed reviews but hoping it helps somebody that spent as much time searching for just the right size and options as I looking for. Even with the imperfections I’m leaning towards keeping it for the size, features and price vs. some of the more expensive brands. Overall it seems like it will function as it is intended to, seems pretty durable, and very simple to use. Pictures in review show the size vs the Yeti Roadie 15 qt. If half stars were an option I’d give it 3.5/5. If you are on the fence, just order it since you can send it back if you don’t like it!
