You can put all of the chilled items that you want touching the ice/ice packs on one side and the items that you would prefer to stay dry on the other side. In addition to this, the inside is compartmentalized to allow for easier storage. Also, the handle is specially designed to have a notch in the middle of it that allows you to easily carry it even with the bottle attached. Not only does it have a place on the top for carrying a Stanley bottle, but it comes with one! The specially designed lid has a groove that will lock the bottle in place (therefore not requiring bungee cords). The Stanley Heritage Cooler is designed to be the ultimate lunch-goers storage solution. But the Stanley Heritage Cooler has some tricks up its sleeve as well. The discussion up to this point has mostly been about the Stanley Adventure Coolers. And while the 30-Quart model doesn’t utilize this feature, it is specially designed to be tall enough to stand 2-liters upright and also double as a step steel thanks to the tough construction. These cords are designed to hold a Stanley Thermos in place.

The 7 and 16-Quart Stanley Adventure Series Coolers come equipped with a bungee cord on the lid.

We don’t find a huge deal with this but it may be a negative for some people who like to partner up when carrying a full ice chest.Įasily the most recognized and desired feature on Stanley Coolers has to do with how they incorporate their popular thermoses and bottles into the design. You won’t find side handles like you are used to seeing on larger coolers. Since these are smaller coolers, the method for carrying them is limited to an overhead rotating handle. Stanley has decided to go with a snap-latch design which looks great and is very resilient. They are also more prone to cracks and tears. While these latches are quite effective, they don’t give off the level of quality of a snap latch. Many coolers utilize a traditional rubber T-latch design. Many smaller coolers don’t come with a rubber gasket so we are glad that Stanley decided to include one.Īnd to make the most of this gasket, Stanley has its intuitive latch system. This gasket helps to ensure a tight seal which helps in keeping unwanted moisture out but also helps to prolong ice life. Having a rubber gasket is a common practice in larger, premium coolers but it is sort of a rarity when it comes to smaller coolers. Going along with these thick walls is a rubber gasket. You will also find a healthy dose of foam insulation in the lid of these coolers. This is also a side-effect of not being a roto-molded design but Stanley has seemed to make the most of it. As the name suggests, there are two walls instead of one. Specifically, Stanley uses what they call “ double wall” foam. This not only helps with ice life but also adds to the overall toughness. Stanley states that their coolers can have up to twice the thickness of their competition. Don’t let its small stature fool you: Stanley Coolers come with surprisingly thick foam walls. Instead, their goal is to make a simple and mobile cooler that can meet the needs of an individual or a small group for a relatively short period.įirst, let’s talk about the walls. Stanley isn’t trying to break any records when it comes to ice retention or to have incredible storage capacity. The primary goal with these ice chests is convenience. Going along with this, some features help Stanley to stand out from much of its competition. The “2 in 1” combo has helped to make the Stanley Heritage Cooler extremely popular as a lunch or work cooler.Ī glance at a Stanley Cooler and it is easy to tell that it is has a unique and easy-to-identify design. But what makes the Heritage Cooler stand out from the Adventure Series coolers is that it comes with a 1.1-quart Stanley vacuum bottle that is locked onto the lid (more on this feature later). This series is limited to a single model: a cooler with around 7 quarts. The second series offered up by Stanley is their Heritage line. That being said, Stanley is focusing on smaller applications such as lunch outings, short picnics, or small camping trips rather than week-long adventures for a large group. And due to their limited storage space, their overall ice life may not be up to the levels you are used to seeing on larger premium coolers.
These coolers will fall into the personal and small-sized categories on our site. They come in 7-quart, 16-quart, and 30-quart models (there is also a 2-gallon water jug but we won’t be focusing on it for this review).Īs you can likely see, Stanley focuses on smaller coolers. The Stanley Adventure Series Coolers are the largest collection that Stanley makes. We discuss both in greater detail in the next sections. As we mentioned above, there are currently two series of Stanley Coolers to choose from: their Adventure Series and their Heritage Series.
