The Igloo Trailmate Cooler Series is a relatively new offering by the popular cooler company, Igloo. These coolers are designed for those people who need a quality cooler with good ice life but also something easy to transport and entertain with. This combination is accomplished thanks to the unique Trailmate design that incorporates a large storage volume with oversized wheels, a host of features, and an aggressive look. Joining the legacy of our famously adventurous Trailmate Journey ice chest with all-terrain wheels, this spacious Trailmate cooler backpack is equally as high performing, easy to transport and crafted for the great outdoors.

Igloo states that their Trailmate Line has up to 4 days of ice retention. Compared to premium rotomolded coolers with huge gaskets and aggressive igloo water cooler latches, 4 days would not be anything amazing. For most people, having enough ice to last for a long weekend is more than enough.
Our least favorite aspect in terms of usability is the drain found in this cooler. Though it has a wide channel to help empty it of meltwater, the inside of the drain also is turned into a protruding tunnel into the interior by a white plastic tube. Why this is a thing, we’re not sure, as it made the Trailmate the least conducive to emptying via drain plug of any model we tested. With no latches to mess with, the Trailmate is fairly easy to open when you want some of its contents. It does require a good push down to close it all the way, but that requires less effort than many other coolers, rather a conscious thought to remember to do so before all the ice melts.
The same mounting bracket that is used for the removable rod holders can be used with removable Igloo cup holders. Needless to say this is the perfect cooler for a beach day or surf fishing. To experience the Trailmate Journey firsthand, we suggest purchasing it on Igloo’s website now before it sells out. If you’re seeking a feature-packed, large cooler at a competitive price, the Igloo Trailmate Journey is our top recommendation.
