Convince me an Icey-Tek is worth it??

Sorely tempted to buy for the new season so I can drink lovely chilled wine instead of the usual red while camping Blush

I hope someone comes along to convince you. If only my current cold box would be a bit crap and turn something manky then I'd feel fully justified in ordering one, but the damn thing keeps on working just fine.

What colour would you have. I like the red.

Well, it will keep your wine chilled, if you follow the instructions.

Sorry, that was a bit brief.
I used to have a typical plastic cooler, and I would leave it in a shady place with a new frozen pack in it and by the end of the day it would all be melted.

The Icey Tek is not like having a magic freezer, but it does keep stuff actually cold. It is definitely worth pre-chilling it: I pre-freeze old plastic bottles full of water and fill the Icey Tek with them 12 or 24 hours before using. And pre-freeze as much stuff as possible that I will be taking: burgers, sausages, wraps, etc. and everything else very chilled. I add some good gel packs, and am strict about keeping the lid closed, opening it for as short a time as possible and not letting the kids open it and rummage .

Stuff is still frozen at the end of 3 days.

You can freeze the inner of a white wine box for ongoing cold white wine. I have never done it, but lots of people here have talked about it.

I mostly do short camping trips and in truth the Icey Tek is probably over-spec for what I need, but I love it anyway, and the cost per use goes down with each new trip....

Mine is matt white.

I've got a bloody lovely blue one and it is fantastic, well worth the money. I have a small table top fridge that I used to take camping but prefer my Icey Tek now for weekend trips.

You really won't regret it. I bought quite a big one and its used as a seat too.

Do it! Keeps everything lovely and cold. Yellow one for us!

Camped last July in a heat wave (35 degrees outside). Tent got to 47 degrees, wine and beer still ice cold in IceyTrek after three days.
