Igloo Heavy-Duty 25 Qt BMX Ice Chest Cooler with Cool Riser Technology

Product Information

On the positive side, the blow-molded construction makes this cooler much lighter because the plastic walls aren’t so thick. Of course, you have more room to load this bad-boy down, with weight, but strictly speaking, it’s the easiest to move around. Additionally, the handle runs so close to the cooler's side that it runs into the rubber latches if they're not properly sealed.

That’s why I picked up the Igloo BMX 25, the iconic brand’s budget-friendly small hard-sided cooler. I’ve not had much use of the fish measuring guide but as I often sit on the Igloo cooler, I’ve now got a much better idea if how wide my bum is. We found that under torturous conditions, the BMX 25 can keep food below the FDA-approved temperature of 40 degrees Fahrenheit for four days.

Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item.

As far as small models go, the Roadie 24 is able to hold its chilly temperatures for slightly longer.

That’s why we’re still working hard every day to innovate, create, and make it easier for you to get out, work hard and play even harder. What began with bringing clean water to the worksite quickly moved into super-functional, best in class ice chests. The YETI Roadie 24 performed the best on all of my ice retention and insulation tests, but I’m not convinced it was that much better, especially considering it’s more like 250% the cost of the Igloo BMX. This guide shows the current YETI colors, plus the rare, limited edition, and never to be seen again. Our only real complaint is that the rubber latches catch against your leg if you forget and carry it the wrong way around, which is easily solved by flipping the cooler 180 degrees.

We feel that Igloo may have missed an opportunity by not making these tie-down holes also lockable, which can add a measure of animal protection or peace of mind.

We also found that the lid's topography prevents it from being an excellent surface for your cold can or even a comfortable seat. The plastic is thinner and the manufacturing method allows for sharper corners, so there’s more internal space to go around.

The cooler also features an easy-grip stainless steel handle, step plates and Cool Riser Technololgy®. If you want to upgrade your individual-sized cooler without spending hundreds on the competition, we recommend this one. If that’s important to you, or if money isn’t an issue for you and you want the absolute best quality possible, check out the YETI Roadie 24. The most obvious feature of the BMX 25 is the inches and centimeter approximate measurements right across the top of the lid to help measure the (surely impressive) size of the fish you may be catching while using this little chest.
