The ice retention really depends on how much ice you are adding to the cooler. If you add only a small amount of ice, it is going to melt faster. We recommend a 2:1 ice-to-can ratio for all our backpack coolers.
However, there are some tips and tricks to make sure you are getting the best ice retention. Make sure you properly close the cooler every time after opening it and make sure the air valve is closed.
We love being different. We’ve taken the traditional cooler and engineered the same technology into a soft-sided backpack. In today’s post, we want to show you some tips & tricks to make your ICEMULE perform as well as any traditional hard cooler –– and add a level of portability previously unmatched in the cooler category.
We consider these conditions when we are evaluating every ICEMULE for peak performance.
- 24 hours + of ice retention depending on the model (See chart below)
- Cold Drinks
- Fresh (dry) Food
- ICEMULE coolers float!
- Closed Properly for water resistance
- Properly inflated with the air valve closed
- Portability with a comfortable carry
Preparation is key to having the best adventure. When you are preparing drinks for your next adventure, whether you are headed to the beach, going on a hike, or walking around the city we want your ICEMULE to be at its best.
When you follow these four steps, you can count on your ICEMULE to achieve peak performance.
Step 1: Load your ICEMULE with drinks and/or food.
*Cold drinks will help with longer ice retention
Step 2: Add the recommended amount of ice depending on the model of your cooler. (See Chart Below)
The recommended amount of ice is to ensure 24 hours of ice retention. The amount of ice needed to keep items cold varies depending on how much food and drink are loaded into your cooler.
Step 3: Properly close the cooler. For roll-top ICEMULEs fold 2-3 times TOWARDS the ICEMULE logo and clip back towards the straps. To see a video example, check out, “How to close our ICEMULE For ICEMULEs with a zipper make sure the zippers are fully closed and locked into place.
This is the most important step to ensure long-lasting ice retention.
Step 4: Add air to the insulation by blowing it into the air valve. Tighten the air valve and close it completely.
NOW THAT YOUR ICEMULE IS READY FOR YOUR NEXT ADVENTURE, THE REST IS UP TO YOU. GET OUT THERE AND HAVE SOME FUN!
