Igloo BMX 52 Quart Cooler with Cool Riser Technology, Fish Ruler, and Tie-Down Points

Product Information

From a quality standpoint, this cooler should last for many years of typical use without issue. The extent of maintenance should entail cleaning out the cooler from time to time and also applying some oil to the gasket to keep it from drying out. Plus if you do happen to run into any quality issues, you are dealing with one of the largest cooler companies around in Igloo. Visual Appeal – Reason I gave it three stars (would have been 5) is because the Igloo silver branding on the front of cooler was wore off around the edges. I expected the product to be in perfect condition after paying a decent amount of money for it. Other than that the cooler itself is great solid handles and hinges seem robust enough for regular use. Love the grey and blue colour way and is a perfect size to take away for the weekend. The best of all? The BMX cooler is very light, unlike any rotomolded cooler out there. Being lightweight, it's easier to carry and definitely more portable. Actually, the Igloo BMX has been the only blow-molded cooler that made it to our list of best lightweight coolers.

The lid is also able to remain secure thanks to the T-grip latches, which have rubber protection to ensure that it opens and closes correctly while also making it easy and comfortable for you to carry it, as this brand is light enough to where you can sometimes hold it from the bottom. Where Igloo easily beats Yeti is at the price point. Yeti has and continues to be one of the most expensive cooler brands in the industry. For many, the price that you pay to own a Yeti just isn’t worth the slight performance advantage you may see. Igloo offers up comparable performance at a fraction of the price. You know you’ve got a reliable cooler on your hands when it can be useful for just about any situation. That’s the case with Igloo’s BMX series, which, despite its size, is a great option for any occasion, whether it’s a birthday or graduation party with friends and family at someone’s house, a tailgate with friends for a football game, or a fishing and hunting trip in the mountains. Now we will discuss some of the other features that aren’t directly tied to toughness. Another clever feature that many Igloo Coolers use is what they call their “Cooler Riser Technology”. This registered feature that Igloo has entails putting legs on the underside of the cooler which literally “lifts” the cooler off of the ground. By doing this, you will enjoy a boost to ice life since there is less surface area for heat to travel through. The Igloo BMX series takes it up another notch by designing these risers to have aggressive grips similar to what you would see on some off-road tires. This is a smart move because the cooler may be more prone to slide around without having good grips on these risers.

Igloo BMX Cooler – Conclusion

If you’ve ever tried to empty a larger cooler at the end of the day, you know how tough it can be. For that reason, many newer coolers come with bilge drains, allowing you to release the water from the bottom of the cooler. You may have to tip the cooler a little to get the last of the water out, but you won’t have the extreme tilt that you have with a cooler that doesn’t have a drain. With four tie-down points and a molded fish measuring ruler, as well as class-leading performance and durable construction, the Igloo BMX 25 cool box is a great compact solution for angling and fishing trips. Igloo BMX 25 Heavy Duty Cool Box Features We think there's no better technology providing the highest possible ice retention than the rotational molding, which stands behind the YETI products. It's not that we're a skeptic of Igloo's insulation, we just think that when it comes to the ability to keep ice for many many days, YETI is going to win here. The molded base is made of Cooler Rise Technology so that the base is elevated and stays off of hot surfaces, whether it’s concrete roads or large boulders that have been heated up on a cloudless, sunny day.

Being a new addition to Igloo’s offerings doesn’t leave the BMX series with a long list of size offerings at the moment, but the purpose with this offering is to make them light enough to provide customers an easy time carrying them while being just as tough as the biggest options in the ice chest world.

Igloo

Bad weather and animals aren’t the only things that can do damage to coolers, as the sun can have an impact on not only how cool your food and drinks stay, but how strong the exterior of your ice chest remains. The Igloo BMX 52 qt cooler has a capacity of 83 cans of 12 ounces. Since the cooler has a horizontal length, you must lay down the wine bottle. The capacity of the wine bottle varies from 3 to 4 bottles. Ice Retention

While some people look for something extra when searching for the best cooler for their needs, whether it’s being able to play music or turn on lights inside to make it really feel like you’re at a party, others just need their ice chests to be durable enough for any situation and able to keep food and drinks cold for as long as necessary.RTIC Coolers are the ultimate cooler for the camper, hunter and boater.

Read Review Also typical of these sizes, the smallest size will utilize a different carrying method than the 2 larger sizes. We will go into this more in the next section. But outside of this, most of the features are retained across all 3 models. Depending on which model you go with and the specific application that you plan to put it through, you should anticipate ice life that ranges from around 2 days up to almost a week.
