Do you put ice in cooler bag?

Yes, cooler bags need ice to work properly. Although ice is not mandatory to keep your food or beverages cold adding ice or ice bricks to your cooler bag will keep your items colder for longer. Usually I recommend ice bricks in your cooler bag as opposed to loose ice because loose ice in a cooler bag can cause leaks.

Can you put ice in insulated cooler bags?

Smaller ice cubes that comes straight from your ice maker (or the bag at the corner store) will work faster, but will also melt more quickly. Also, if you’re putting ice into a cooler bag, you’ll want to contain it somehow so it doesn’t melt and soak through the bag (unless yours is waterproof). Ice, that is!

How long does RTIC soft cooler keep ice?

Is YETI better than RTIC?

Is Coleman or Igloo better?

In summary, Coleman is the better option for those who have a small budget but yet need a good ice retention performance and handy features such as cup holders, wheels, etc. Igloo on the other hand is the better brand for those who need a bit high-end, more heavy-duty, sportive cooler.
