I know someone on here got one of these that cools for several days, he mentioned the ebayer he bought it from but I can't find the post.

I'm also wondering how these compare with the igloos?

Hi Jackie. It were me.

The Norgie boxes certainly perform well. Really happy with mine - still ice in them on day 5 on the one I didn't keep opening and closing. As with any cool box, it#s best to put stuff in cold as possible, and fill any empty space as you're removing stuff with newspaper or something.

Each box holds a full 20 litres. Mine were £20 each from "ecerslike" on ebay. So 40 litres of good storage for £40. The Igloo Legend 38 litre box is £60, or Igloo Maxcold 47 litre box is £85, so cost per litre the Norgies boxes are good value. Very very tough as well - virtually bombproof. And they clean up well inside with a bit of bleach followed by baking powder.

Can't see if ecerslike has got any at the moment - would be worth asking him.

ecerslike is not listing any at the moment.

Canvas tent, paraffin light, petrol stove. Heaven
I'd rather be kayaking.
Spent up, not pent up, just had my new tent up.

the 13 litre one is a bit on the small side, and not such good value. S&A always charge far too much for stuff as well IMO.

Unless you put Devon Cider in one When we got back to barracks we had to pay for a new one the cider had stained it that much

Few stains never killed anyone. Bet they were just after your money!
