Zipper – super heavy-duty ykk #10 weatherized zipper (rust proof). Our patent-pending zipper sew design keeps the zipper from ripping out of your cooler. (easy to fake it, hard to make it).

Expert Reviews


What reviewers liked

The Polar Bear has excellent seams along its internal liner, too.
To top off the surprising performance, the Polar Bear comes in at a price that won't cut into your beer funds.
Just as suitable for outdoor adventures as it is for a simple trip to the beach, you'll wonder how you made do without it.
It does the job well, has a high-quality build with D-1000 nylon, and looks good enough that you can use it for practically any occasion.
What really stands out about the Polar Bear is its impressive craftsmanship. The exterior is made of thick, 1000D nylon that is very rugged. It will be near impossible to rip or tear the exterior.
Truly, with an ice retention period of 24 hours minimum, you are guaranteed fresh drinks and snacks all day long.

What reviewers didn't like

The main drawback, beyond availability, is the typical price—at $90, this option usually represents a $30 increase.
Not very durable.
In terms of quality, the Nylon series is a relatively low cost cooler which means that it’s not going to be as strong as the high end models.
