So the Siberian bait cooler has great thought behind it. The lid doubles as a seat and tackle box which is nice when hole hopping hoping to land the fish of the day. The two side compartments are also a very nice thought as they can fit various implements for the job at hand. Basic shoulder strap aids in carrying nearly 4 gals of water. Though the lid isnt sealed to keep the ever sloshing water from seeping or spilling out. The inside of the cooler portion is an insert of precast Styrofoam like you would buy at a convenient store. The cover of that insert is also made of the same Styrofoam and doesnt offer any sort of handles to pull it off the box leaving you to pry with your fingertips on the so called molded beverage holder holes. I wouldnt put anything on this lid for fear of dancing it over time. Pulling on the voids can easily tear away the foam. I also Would have liked to have seen more protection for the already fragile Styrofoam. I thought instead of a convienent store cooler set up it was more of a molded plastic over the insulation on the inside to protected it from fingernail digs or if resting on the uneven snow or ice could snap it by accidentally stepping on it or resting something on the lid to keep it from blowing away while you hook up your bait.
