Yes, longer and narrower good for fish, more square for other things. I have some very large ice packs. Two fit perfectly on the base of my Icey-Tek. For camping, I put them above and below the...

There's a shape thing for this as well, I had a 210L long bin on my charter boat and it was great for Kingies etc but less than ideal for chasing stuff around inside it. A lot of the main brands are...

Regardless of what you get, one trick we learnt a long time ago was drain off the water. If you want ice to stay ice, then make sure the water gets out and leaves the ice dry. It takes a lot longer...

+1 for 90L Iceytek, has never let me down. I make up a salt mix in 3L milk or juice bottles (juice bottles tend to have thicker plastic). As noted, Pre-cooling before use is beneficial .

+ another for icey Tek, I filled mine with snow (well it makes sense and there was a few feet of it) 3wks later there was still a block if ice in it (only needed it to keep meat cold for a few days)...

Icytek all the way/ I have a 90l Icytek that I used for 17 years when crewing on the charter boat. Half full of flaked salt ice, a bucket of fresh seawater to create a slurry and fish came out 2 days...

Iceytek all the way. Get 3 or 4 empty milk bottles , next time you go down to the sea fill them with saltwater and freeze them. They will melt sooner than freshwater but they will keep freshwater...

Got a 90L iceytek, can't imagine one much better really. Pre chilling it with some frozen bottles of water makes a difference. I have to be careful or my fish will be frozen by the time I get home...

I've got a few Icey Teks, seem to accumulate them as giveaways when buying drench etc. They're pretty hard to beat. I've also got a bit cheaper "Dusc" brand one I picked up from Repco when we were on...

The better ones have one thing in common- they're way heavier than cheapies. My 55l Esky really does the biz but I only drag it out for proper jobs. Day trips don't demand the big boys.

Have Icey-Tek and Dometic. Would recommend both. Dometic has a proper square profile which I prefer.
