If you have a boat and bring kids or friends on the water, you know that once you leave the dock the requests for drinks start rolling in fast and furious. Sure, you can load a cooler out each morning packed with fresh ice, but it is just so much easier to cut down all that work with a cooler than can keep ice for days on end. Our sister site Alloutdoor.com recently reviewed a hiking backpack sold by Ozark Trail that had an overall stellar performance and it triggered a question among our staff.
An ideal tent for a family—plenty of set-up room and one tough tent. Its versatile design allows it to be divided into three separate rooms or used as one large area. Easy setup is ensured ozark trail canopy with color-coded poles and pin & ring frame attachment.
So, I have to say that I was really surprised with how this test turned out. You can see from the images below that there was consistent ice melt, however two of the three were better performing. When it comes to the seal, I was again very impressed by this cooler. Cracking this thing open sounds like you are opening the airlock on a spaceship. You can tell there is a serious seal established when you latch this shut. The Ozark Trail 45 Qt Rolling Thermocooler also comes with an internal tray, which the other two do not.
If you love espresso or plan to use the Tumbler for a cold beverage, the 10oz Ozark Trail Tumbler is going to be a great option for you. Many outdoorsmen have taken their infield coffee preparation to the next level making pour overs or using a coffee press. If you plan to do something that is more in line with a high end coffee shop, you should consider this Tumbler.
The coolers remained in the same location for the duration of the 6 day test, only being opened to snap daily progress pictures. The heat wave we were hit with in Southeast Michigan was less than enjoyable and I have included those details below. As far as color options go, you can purchase this in one of two colors, Greystone which is the one featured in this article and a lighter grey. The constant color feature among the two are the orange rimmed wheels which I don’t love but, it is not a deal breaker.
Not only is the Ozark Trail line of thermoses BPA free but they are also rust proof and feature a sweat-proof design. Using a thermal imaging scope from ATN, I filled one of the 22oz mugs with water boiled to 185 degrees Fahrenheit and another filled with water boiled to 140 degrees Fahrenheit.

I’m using my North facing deck as the staging area which receives direct sunlight at almost all hours of the day. I also placed a small weather system on the deck rail to help get a sense of how hot surface temperatures are in the area. On one of the hottest days, the remote sensor reported temperatures exceeding 107 Degrees Fahrenheit while the air temp was in the high 80’s. In the early 1900s, a Christian minister wandered into the Ozark hills, looking for better health, and found a community that would change his future.
