Coolers

Looking to offer outdoor-enthusiasts a more eco-friendly solution than your typical polyurethane-walled cooler, or even worse, one of the disposable styrofoam variety, Wool Street has come to the party with the world's first wool-insulated cooler.

Two years ago, GoSun took a break from solar cookers and directed the Sun's energy toward cooling. Now it expands its cooling line with a dual-zone fridge/freezer that can serve ice cream in the desert and operate indefinitely on off-grid power.

Fitted at all four corners with removable gear pods, the rugged new Goat Box Hub 70 is more than just a cooler. It can pack everything from water purification and fire-starting gear to BBQ rubs and seasonings alongside the ice-covered food and drink.

After nearly two years, Furrion brings to market the wheeled, battery-swapping fridge it showed at CES 2019. Perfect for overland rigs, off-grid cabins and more, the rolling compressor cooler can be used with or without power for days or weeks.

The new Dam Cooler debuts as a 25+ quart ice box that saves bulk and weight by ditching poly foam and relying on thin, efficient vacuum insulation panels. It keeps food and drink organized with a series of dividers and trays.

Unlike the typical cooler, the Qool Box relies on vacuum insulation, much like a thermos. The Qool cooler also ditches the bagged ice for special frozen inserts formulated to keep contents cold (or even frozen) for days, without the melting or mess.

Two of the biggest trends of modern portable cooling come together in the iCooler, a new portable chiller that's both a rugged cooler and portable fridge/freezer. Plugged in or unplugged completely, your food stays cold and fresh.

The disposable foam cooler is so environmentally unfriendly government bodies stretching from New York City to San Diego have been implementing sales bans. Thus, a new market opens, and Igloo steps in with a disposable cooler that's both reusable and biodegradable.

Blue Quench's super-fast beer cooler is about to drop on Indiegogo, and this thing means business, as long as the business is a party. When nothing but ice-cold is good enough, and a minute's the longest you can wait, this thing chills beers faster than anything outside a cryogenics lab.

Furrion used this year's CES to present its new Outdoor Living lineup, a series of smart products for tailgating and outdoor life. Chief among those products is the Rova, an iceless wheeled cooler that offers up to a week of off-grid cooling power via a removable battery.

With the year winding down in a hurry, ​here's a look at the best camping gear we put through the wringer in 2018. After all, spending time outdoors is what gear innovation is all about, right?

Following up from the rugged Venture coolers launched last year, OtterBox has now released two new soft coolers designed to be easily carried with one model even coming with straps enabling it to be lugged around like a backpack.
