Yes, yet another cool box thread!

Has anyone tried a Kampa coolbox? They are more expensive than the standard Coleman's etc but claim to keep ice frozen for longer (five days). They do a 28 litre size which is closer to the size I would want than the too-big Igloos etc, but I would want some reassurance before buying that they really are worth the extra money.

Well, its 2009 now and I'm still wondering about this!

Has anyone tried the Kampa Evo Ice House 28 litre passive coolbox and/or know if its a noticeably higher performance than the standard Coleman-type coolbox which I have now? The official Kampa blurb says five days .... ?

Icey-Tek's products are very well thought of but they are v.v.v. expensive and, crucially, the 25 litre size which I would want is not tall enough inside to take a bottle of wine standing up.

If anyone knows of any other 'high performance' coolboxes which are round about the 25 litre size, l'd like to hear aboout those too.

Cheers. I've rung two local-ish camping shops who sell the Kampa Evo Icehouse and both said it was excellent - but they would, wouldn't they? OTOH, one of them said that they had feedback from a couple of customers saying that their Kampa was noticeably better than their previous Camping Gaz family coolbox ....

So, I'm just going round in circles here.

Overthinking a new coolbox, how sad is that!
