Icey-Tek 90 litre Long box

Icey-Tek 90 litre Long box

OK we all know about cool boxes, but how about something that goes beyond that concept to offer a solution to keeping perishables properly chilled in the field? Step up the Australian Icey-Tek, which is a new generation of ice box.

Simple But Efficient

There’s no power, just a well made design that uses the right materials to retain the cold. Made of heavy-duty Polyethylene the boxes are available in two shapes - Cube and Long - in a range of sizes and colours. They are double insulated and feature hinged lids with strong, rubber latches. There’s an integral hasp for a pad lock and tough nylon rope handles. On the sides are 25mm drainage bungs, so you can clean them out easily. There are even cushions that fit on top.

I was sent a 90-litre Long box, which at 36 x 19 x 19” is big enough to hold around 15-20 hares or rabbits, three to four muntjac, or a couple of roe. Or a few days supply of food.

Cool Man

You can use ice, better are the Aussie Gel Packs; either needs to be put in 24-hours before use to chill it down. The Packs are better as they are infinitely reusable, plus there’s no mess. The white interior of the Icey-Tek is non-staining, odourless and easy to clean.

OK winter is not the best time for a test, but once fully charged I left it in an inside room and checked the temperature daily. It kept it at 7º C, I also tested my fridge and that was 7.5º C. So if it can do that for five days +, it’s pretty good. Obviously when loaded up with food - especially pre-chilled or frozen - the effect is even better.

Scotland and Back

I will be continuing trials into the better weather, but a friend of mine took one to Scotland last year for the buck season (high summer). He was up there for four days and took two beasts and they went in the Icey-Tek and when he came back there were near as fresh as when he shot them.

The 90-litre long box suits me, whereas the Cube might be what you need. Sizes range from 25 to 1100-litres in the Cube (14 models) and 56 to 260-litre in the Long (seven models). There are also 18 colour choices. Whatever you do with your Icey-Tek from a picnic, to a mobile game cooler there’s no question it’s an effective and simple solution.
