COOLBOX GROUPTEST
There's nothing better than being on a boat on a warm summer's day. Except perhaps being on a boat on a warm summer's day with a chilled drink to hand. And even if your boat already has a built-in fridge, having a portable cooler to take them to and from the boat or the beach is well worth the extra investment. But what type should you buy and who makes the best ones? The first thing to decide is whether you want an unpowered or 'passive' cooler, which relies on ice packs and some form of insulation to keep the contents cool, or a powered cooler that actively chills your food and drinks. There are pros and cons to both types: unpowered coolboxes tend to be cheaper, lighter and more compact but less effective, especially when opened regularly; powered ones are bigger, heavier and more expensive but can keep things cool for as long as power is supplied to them. We put four of each to the test to see which performed best.
