Cold beers & water, fresh food/meat & ice cubes for a cheeky evening whisky in the middle of a field for 5 days with no electric - do I need to say more! Price is another big consideration when shopping for a new ice chest. Traditionally, Igloo has competed in the budget and mid-range categories. They strived to strike a nice balance between performance and costs. And overall, they are quite good at that. The fact that they are one of the most popular cooler brands to ever exist is good evidence of that! RTIC Coolers are the ultimate cooler for the camper, hunter and boater. Our coolers combine a light feel with heavy-duty construction. The combination of our durable rubber T-latches and tie-down slots will keep your food and beverages secure. Read Review

In terms of ice retention, Yeti also enjoys a slight advantage. We found that, for a given size, Yeti Coolers would hold ice longer than Igloo BMX coolers by anywhere from a few hours to up to a day or more. The Igloo BMX Coolers come with pretty standard features. You will find features such as tie-down slots, a high-flow drain port, stainless steel hardware, and comfortable grip handles. A really interesting comparison can be made when looking at Yeti’s Tundra series coolers and the Igloo BMX Coolers. Both are essentially targeting similar demographics, but they take a very different approaches in doing so. Also typical of these sizes, the smallest size will utilize a different carrying method than the 2 larger sizes. We will go into this more in the next section. But outside of this, most of the features are retained across all 3 models. The Igloo BMX 52 Quart Cooler is the perfect cooling companion for your next outdoor adventure. Rubberized T-grip latches keep lid secure, and a threaded drain plug is garden hose compatible and features a non-slip, easy-grip stainless steel tethered cap. Cool Riser Technology molded base elevates the cooler away from hot surfaces and improves cooling performance. Read Review

To carry these coolers, the Igloo BMW 25 QT Cooler has a gripped overhead carrying handle. This is pretty normal for coolers of this size. It will typically be carried by only one person, so the carrying handle allows you to do so while still having a free hand for other items. The new Igloo BMX Quart cooler is one of the most outstanding designs the company Igloo has ever manufactured. The design shows how Igloo has come so far in all these years and understood the market’s demand and its consumers. With the new upgrades and excellent features, this cooler is a big yes.

If you want to tie down the BMX cooler to avoid the chance of it rolling over, then you must never do it with the lid. Rather than the lid, you can tie the cooler by the handles to your boat or something else. While some people look for something extra when searching for the best cooler for their needs, whether it’s being able to play music or turn on lights inside to make it really feel like you’re at a party, others just need their ice chests to be durable enough for any situation and able to keep food and drinks cold for as long as necessary.Igloo appears to be going through a bit of a facelift among its cooler lineups. As you can see from the many Igloo Coolers that we have reviewed in the past, their lineup is enormous. It can be hard to keep up with all of the products and the oftentimes subtle tweaks that they made to them each year. Being light makes it easy to take these coolers in your car for road trips, as well as on a boat for a day on the lake during camping trips or out on the ocean for when you go to the beach. Being useful in all of these situations earns this brand a 4.5/5 rating in quality. One thing to decide when you’re going for a larger-capacity cooler, though, is portability. As convenient as the space is, coolers will get much heavier when they’re loaded down. If you want a cooler that’s easier to carry around, consider one like the Arctic Zone Titan Deep Freeze Zipperless Cooler. It still provides space for up to 30 cans but keeps things lightweight with a canvas design. And despite being an “expensive” Igloo Cooler, the price point for these ice chests are still quite a bit lower than many of the other premium cooler brands with similar sizes. And the overall performance, while maybe slightly lower than some of these brands, is easily overlooked when you see how much money you are saving. In this review, we will go over the new Igloo BMX Coolers. We will elaborate on their features, discuss build quality, put them through our ice retention test, and finally give them a rating from 0 to 5.
