Igloo Heavy-Duty 25 Qt BMX Ice Chest Cooler with Cool Riser Technology

Product Information

Below, you can read about my experience with the BMX 25, plus how this Igloo compares to YETI, RTIC, and ORCA—three of the biggest brands in the cooler space.

The Igloo also has tie-down holes in all four corners that will keep this little box securely fastened and closed until you untie it again. With its durable construction, four tie-down points and a fish measuring ruler moulded into the lid, the Igloo BMX 25 cool box is a great compact solution for angling and fishing trips. If you want to upgrade your individual-sized cooler without spending hundreds on the competition, we recommend this one. The rubberized, durable lid T-latches provide a guaranteed closure that won't let any coldness escape.

To me, the RTIC blends the aesthetics of YETI, has a strong performance in the insulation and ice-retention tests, and is loaded up with the most practical features.

Therefore, it lets cold air escape and warm air enter, unlike some beefier models with freezer-quality gaskets keeping their contents separate from the outside air. They mention that it is a good coolbox that keeps items cold for days, and the icing is still in tact. The Igloo BMX is a non-rotomolded personal cooler with a single handle on top and an internal height that fits most wine bottles or 2L soda bottles.

You can also find a 52 quart version and a 72 quart version of the BMX if you’re planning bigger adventures. In the chart below, you can see how the Igloo’s space efficiency compares to its competition—I get this number by dividing the number of cans a cooler holds by its liquid quart capacity.
