Some of the features to look out for include beverage holders or wheels. If you opt for smaller or medium-sized cool boxes, go for one with a shoulder strap.

Size is a key feature to look out for since it determines how much your cool box can support. Passive or non-electric cool boxes have a size range of between 1 L to up to 100L. For example, a 28L cool box can carry up to 36 330ml cans. A 57L cool box, on the other hand, carries up to 75 cans. It also has well thought out features like 2 cup holders on the lid so you can use it as a side table when camping. Additionally, the lid is strong enough to be used as a seat for a person up to 113kg. Featuring a uniquely intuitive design, the Vango Pinnacle Wheelie Cooler is designed for picnics, camping, sporting events, and similar activities where you need to keep your food and drinks chilled.Lifting is made easy by some carry handles on the sides of the box, and the lid clamps tightly shut with the famous T-Rex Lid Latches and a decent gasket surrounding the top of the cooler. Passive cool boxes are extremely well insulated containers which are specifically designed so that if you put pre-chilled items inside, the heat from the sun is unable to get in and warm them up. The best passive cool box will combine a decent load space with excellent insulation and a strong lifting handle at a price point which won’t break the bank.

Apparently, the reason why the Coleman coolers are so good is because they inject the polyurethene foam into the cooler casing so there are literally no gaps. This method is not used by most other manufacturers who just use polystyrene, which isn't as efficient and leaves gaps which allow heat exchange. Coleman also did a lot of research into what shapes stay cooler for longer, and it's actually a circular sphere shape that stays cool the longest (least surface area). Obviously for practicality this doesn’t work for boxes whichis why they made the edges curved and elevated the bottom slightly off the floor – all small ways in which their coolers perform a lot better than others.
