Depending on your exact needs and desired results, Icey-Tek coolers may or may not be for you.
Icey-Tek is a brute cooler built with one thing in mind...keeping ice colder longer. The Icey-Tek is not as refined on the exterior of the cooler like some of the other brands out there such as the; Extreme Cold Series or the ORCA coolers. Other brands may have a sleeker design and a more refined finish, but Icey-Tek has the largest selection of both colors and sizes in the industry making it one of the most sought after premium rotomolded coolers available. They also hold ice equally as long, if not longer.Icey-Tek ice chest coolers are made of the same heavy duty polyethylene material as kayaks or any other premium coolers. If you want a designer cooler with a wide range of accessories, the Icey-Tek may not be for you. On the other hand, if you want a cooler that does what a cooler's supposed to do there's no doubt that you'll love Icey-Tek!

Why some people don't like Icey-Tek? Basically Icey-Tek doesn't have all of the bells and whistles that some of the other brands have such as a ruler molded into the lid, or accessories for the average camper. It's finish is hand sanded at the end of production making each one unique. The external hinges are caulked after installation which is another trade mark of the Icey-Tek brand. The upside to this is that an actual human being inspects every cooler after it comes out of the mold ensuring that it passes all quality inspection test before it heads to the warehouse in the US. This testing includes a pressure test to make sure that each coolers is air-tight. They also check of all hinges, seals, and other important components to ensure the highest quality craftsmanship before leaving the plant.
NOTE: Darker colors do have a tendency to warp under extreme temperatures.
