[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so excited to get this cooler and give it a whirl! In the past I’ve bought a Yeti and Arctic cooler and have always been on the hunt for the best one. The Core cooler is easy to carry! It’s sleek and has a strap that’s moveable with a little cushion for your shoulder which made it comfortable. The cooler has a few different pockets which is also awesome! I’ve never had a cooler before with so many pockets! Great for putting a cell phone, napkins, cork screw, any little trinkets that you may need while you’re on the go. It also comes with a can opener which is awesome! No more hunting around for one! The color is nice and neutral and the cooler is cushiony but protective. I tried this cooler a few times. First I put a couple bottles of wine in it to take to a friend’s house. Got the job done! Kept the wine cold, but the wine wasn’t in there for too long. The second time I tried the cooler, I was a bit more disappointed. This time I loaded it up with drinks and ice for a baby shower. While easy to transport, the drinks were packed in there with ice for about six hours. The temperature of the building we were in never reached above 70 degrees, and by the end of the shower, the ice had melted and there was quite a bit of water on the bottom. I was honestly really surprised by this. The cooler fits a ton! The picture shows you 36 mini water bottles and 6 juice boxes plus ice! Really holds quite a bit which is great! Just was disappointed about the ice melting in the second use, as I’d be worried what would happen if I took it to a soccer game or picnic when the weather was warmer. Overall, not bad, and I’m happy to have received this item! Just wish it stayed colder longer!
