Similarly, plastic coolers will last anywhere between a day or two. If you want a cooler that lasts for up to 5 days, a premium quality plastic or rubber-covered cool box will be more suitable. Lifting is made easy by some carry handles on the sides of the box, and the lid clamps tightly shut with the famous T-Rex Lid Latches and a decent gasket surrounding the top of the cooler.
