Here are three scenarios that made me super stoked to have an IceMule Pro cooler this summer.
- The neighborhood party. It’s three blocks away, and you have a stash of special beers that you want to share with the homies. Oh, and you also get to carry that tasty tray of chips and avocado dip that you whipped up this afternoon. Driving your car three blocks because you don’t want to carry a cooler? Lame.
- Pre-show lot beers. You’re connecting with your music buddies at Red Rocks for the show of the summer. You’ve got more great beers to share, but you’re running late and had to park damn near a mile away from your crew. Rolling a cooler up and down hills across gravel and through that sweet shortcut trail? No.
- You scored the sweetest camp site at your favorite high alpine lake. Base camp is 100 yards from the beach. You and your mates will be enjoying sunset beers on that beach for the next four nights. You get the idea!
For that last one, I tossed twelve beers and a ten pound bag of ice into the XL sized IceMule Pro before leaving home. While most of the ice was melted by day three, the remaining beers were still plenty cold. I added a bit more ice from another cooler to avoid any chance of warm beer late in the trip.
HIGHLIGHTS
- The roll-top closure is easy to work with and very reliable.
- No leaks.
- Padded shoulder straps are comfortable enough to carry twelve beers plus ice (capacity is 24 cans). I could have easily carried more beer and ice.

BOTTOM LINE
There are plenty of wheeled coolers on the market. Most of them are junk. The IceMule probably won’t be your primary ice chest on your next family camp trip. But if you need extra space for your drinks, and want an ultra portable, reliable cooler, this is the one for you! Ice retention is very respectable, and portability is unmatched.
