Has anyone packed ice about the zipper line? Wondering if you do pack ice above the zipper line will result inb a leak. Thanks

I had bought this as a cooler for putting in cold items and yes, to put ice in as well. It has leaked since day 1 and I need to exchange it. But I wasn't sure if there would be an issue because the manufacturer may be treating it as a lunch type box. So, I've had leaks even well below the zipper line.

We have not knowing we did and it froze just fine. 5 days later I used it and there was no leaking. They were perfect!!

Mine leaked like CRAZY! I used loose ice cubes, so I definitely recommend ice packs if you need them.

Oh wow that is a long flight! !!! I travel and use ice for lower back .... I know--not quite same thing ..... what works best for me to keep ice bags & clay cold is: insulated bag, ice bags, clay bag & wide mouth insulated 24oz Polar water bottles. I fill "P-bottles" with water (allow for expansion) & freeze. All frozen stuff in picnic bag and add meds. None of the frozen stuff will last 30hours. ... you can get ice to re-fill Polar bottles ..... plus you will have steady supply of cold water. Hope this helps. Have good flight!!!! Lynda

No problems here with opening and closing. Only used for a week so far. We had 6 and there was plenty of room. We never used in the cold and the only other thing we purchased was tent stakes. It also rained while we were there and it only leaked a little in one corner. Thought it was a good product. GL

You should not put dry ice direct into the cooler. OK to put it in any type of plastic bag before putting it in the cooler. Cheap grocery bag will do. C2CSAFETY stock and ship these same day. We will quote best price. Thanks

Yes, but my bag leaked as ice started to melt and the bottom was soaked thru by mid day. I returned it.

Hi Stan - Ive had no such problems with this ice bucket. In fact I love it and am happy I purchased it. ~ Marty L.

Tempting. I was afraid to do so but I did freeze just a few times. Lid off, 1/3 fill and froze it overnight. Next am I put water in it and had very cold water all day. I froze another similar bottle almost full, it worked so well that it didn't thaw enough to drink for 8 hours. I bought the wide mouth Kleen Kanteen for ease of adding ice and that works just as well for my purpose. My KK tolerated a few freezes, lid off, no problem. Hope this helps.

Ours has worked quite well with water. We haven't had any freezes yet, but I plan to empty before that happens...since water expands when it freezes, I don't want to rupture the seams.

I bought one locally and have the same problem. About a half-inch gap allows ice/mix to splash out. A bit messy! They said they'll send a new part. Hopefully, that'l help.

Ho how are you. Well i actually have not used it as of yet until next month on a house warming outdoors... so i really dont have an answer to that. Im sorry.. but i tell you that is well done to put ice for sure...on the bottom also has a small hole where u can drain the water out as well sort of like a wine cork. Is a bit tough to open and close it but eventually it is manageable.

As others have said, this is the chill which doesn't use aerogel. The Ice model has aerogel. For me the insulation works fine, but its not hot here yet. The lid is not insulated so that and the shape which has a relatively low volume/surface area ratio means that this is far from a perfect insulator. Also, mine doesn't leak at all.

Mine does not leak unless the cooler tips so water leaks through the zipper. I'm happy with mine!

Mine never froze. And it has the mildewy looking brownish blackish stuff floating in the water. I dont know if the seal was not sealed on some or if this has anything to do with why mine wont freeze, but I wasted 30 bucks on two of these after extensive research on youtube, thinking that it would actually work. It doesnt. I am hesitant to throw it out in case I ever get a deep freezer or something. BUT mine never froze:( I was looking forward to it too.

I've ordered it twice and it doesn't need the ice. I just put them in the freezer when I get them. They are great!! But I'd call the company if they were leaking.
