Product Overview

I recently had the pleasure of testing and reviewing the Igloo Hardsided Playmate Pal Lunch Cooler. This cooler is designed to be a convenient, personal sized cooler that is ideal for lunch, picnics, road trips and more. The Playmate Pal is equipped with a trademarked tent top design that makes it easy to open, close and carry. It also features a push button lid design for convenient one handed operation and a secure lid to help prevent spills.

The Igloo Hardsided Playmate Pal Lunch Cooler is made from high density polyethylene material which provides excellent insulation so your food and drinks stay nice and cool throughout the day or during your road trip. It has a 7 Quart capacity which is just enough for a few sandwiches, snacks, drinks and more. The Igloo Playmate Pal measures 10.63 x 8.27 x 11.81 inches in dimension which makes it an ideal size for lunch or taking along on trips without taking up too much space in your car or bag.

I tested this product by packing it full of snacks, drinks, sandwiches and other items before taking it out on a road trip with my family. We were able to fit plenty of snacks into the 7 Quart capacity of this cooler without issue and we found that the items stayed cool throughout our 4 hour journey. It was very easy to carry around thanks to its light weight and compact size as well as its tent top design which made opening it simpler than other coolers I ve used in the past.

Overall I was very impressed with the quality of this product as well as its features and performance during my testing period. The Igloo Hardsided Playmate Pal Lunch Cooler is an ideal choice for anyone looking for an efficient personal sized cooler that can keep items cool while on the go. Whether you re going on a picnic or taking a road trip, you won t be disappointed with this product!
