At $150, the Stanley Adventure Cooler 30 is a mid-price 30-quart cooler that comes with claims to hold ice for four days. It’s portable at about 13 pounds empty and a good size for a day trip or a camping weekend where you need to keep a few items cool. The brand also touts its tough build and leak-resistant design. We put all this to the test last week for this review.

There is no industry standard for cooler testing. But a room-temperature test is probably a good litmus, so I used my home — kept at about 68º F — as the test venue around the “four-day ice-retention” claim. Sure, it’s not blazing hot summer heat but in March, you work with what you’ve got.
