Our ECOCOOL Softside coolers are among the first of its kind to be made with BLOOM Rise insulation, an innovative, durable material made from repurposed algae and recycled EVA. The process goes like this: Wet algae is harvested and squeezed into a paste. Using heat, the algae paste is dried to produce crunchy flakes.

Your Igloo cooler is an insulated container, and as such, it is an efficient insulator for both heat and cold. If your cooler is stored in a warm location, such as a vehicle trunk, garage, shed, etc., it will absorb and retain the heat from its surroundings.

The Igloo ECOCOOL Trailmate scored highest overall in our most recent cooler testing. It steadily maintained the temperature of soda cans for 36 hours - and even kept most of the ice intact. It was easy to move around when full and is designed to handle all kinds of terrain with its oversize wheels.

Other good coolers The Igloo MaxCold is a solid runner-up to the Coleman, being similar in size and fuctionality, and in our tests it kept ice frozen for six days, one day beyond its rated capacity. (However, ice in the Coleman Xtreme lasted seven days in our tests.)

The igloo is architecturally unique in that it is a dome that can be raised out of independent blocks leaning on each other and polished to fit without an additional supporting structure during construction. An igloo that is built correctly will support the weight of a person standing on the roof.

What is an igloo? An igloo, also known as an iglu, comes from the Inuit word for 'house' or 'shelter'. It was traditionally associated with Inuit's when they went on their hunting trips and they built a temporary house to protect them from the cold.

If made properly, it should be strong enough for a grown adult to stand on it without collapsing! To make your igloo, you will need a snow spade and a saw, plus at least another person to help. Find your spot in the snow and draw out a circle with your spade. You can then dig down and create snow blocks for your igloo.

Igloos are built from compressed snow. You saw it into chunks like building blocks, then stack the blocks around a circular terraced hole in the snowy ground. Snow is endlessly interesting considering it's simply semi-frozen water.
