Chilly Bins & Coolers

Keep drinks, food, bait and your catch cold with practical chilly bins and coolers for boating, fishing, camping and day trips. This category includes hard chilly bins, ice boxes, cooler bags, fish bins, ice packs and cooler accessories for use on boats, at the beach, in the car or around camp.

Chilly bins and marine coolers are a simple cold storage option when you do not need a powered fridge or freezer. They are useful for short trips, fishing sessions, packed lunches, drinks, bait storage and keeping supplies chilled while you are away from home.

When choosing a chilly bin or cooler, consider the size, insulation, lid seal, carry handles, drain plug, weight and how easily it fits on board. Smaller cooler bags are easy to carry for quick trips, while larger ice boxes are better for fishing, longer days on the water and holding more food or drink.

For best performance, pre-chill the cooler where possible, use enough ice or ice packs, keep the lid closed as much as you can and choose a size that matches your trip. A well chosen chilly bin can make a big difference when storing food, drinks, bait and fish in New Zealand conditions.
