With all the innovative products out there like Hydroflask containers that keep stuff cold for 20 hours and beyond I was wondering if there are ice packs or specific coolers that provide similarly impressive performance for chest coolers. I day trip all my hikes so I always have a moderate sized marine cooler (a Coleman I believe) in car with food for drive up and drive back. Ice and ice packs just don't seem to do all that impressive a job.
I figured if my Hydroflask growler can keep 5 beers ice cold for 15 hours on a hot June day there must be some sort of cooler out there or ice pack alternative for similar performance on a larger scale. I've tried the traditional ice packs, actual ice and even made up some PVC tubes from a camping "hack" I saw on Pinterest but the results are all marginal.
The VFTT community has brought my attention to a lot of innovative products and ideas these past few years that I had never heard of before. If anyone has any suggestions for keeping a cooler cold I'm all ears. Thanks.
