Comparing Different myCOOLMAN Coolers & Ice Boxes - Expert Analysis

myCOOLMAN's hard cooler range covers everything from a weekend away to a proper multi-day trip, and the two sizes worth weighing up against each other are the 38L and the 78L.

myCOOLMAN 38L Icebox

Sized for weekends and small groups, the 38L shares the same build as its larger sibling: high-density insulation, a tight-sealing lid, robust latches and hinges, a large drain plug, non-slip feet, moulded tie-down points and an integrated bottle opener. It's the easier of the two to carry and stow when space is tight.

myCOOLMAN 78L Icebox

The 78L is built for extended trips and larger groups, with the same high-density insulation, latches, drain plug, non-slip feet and tie-down points, but roughly double the capacity. Its size means it's designed around heavy-duty carry handles for two-person lifting, since a fully loaded 78-litre box is a genuinely heavy item.

Which one to choose

If you're planning weekend trips or catering for a small group, the 38L keeps things manageable to lift and store. If you're heading out for a multi-day trip or catering for a larger family or group, the 78L's extra capacity means fewer ice runs — provided you've got the boot or locker space, and ideally a second pair of hands to lift it once it's full.
