Not every adventure calls for a massive cooler. The NANUK 25QT is the compact rotomolded cooler built for the trips that matter most — day hikes, beach days, fishing trips, tailgates, and everything in between. Sized to go anywhere, built to outlast everything. At 25 quarts, this hard-sided cooler holds up to 30 cans of 355 ml — enough for a full day out without the bulk of a basecamp setup. And when it's time to pack light and move fast, the integrated carry straps and molded handles make it effortless to take along. Whether it's riding in a truck bed, on a boat deck, or in the back of an SUV, the 25QT fits where you need it. Ice retention is where the NANUK 25QT separates itself from the competition. A 17mm insulating gasket — nearly three times the width found on leading hard coolers — creates an airtight seal that keeps ice frozen for days. Roto-molded from a single piece of high-impact resin, the seamless construction eliminates weak points and delivers the kind of durability you'd expect from a premium hard cooler, without compromise. Security comes standard. The proprietary PowerClaw latch system keeps the lid sealed tight against the elements to ensure your food and gear stay protected wherever you take it. A built-in bottle opener, silicone mesh lid organizer, tethered drain plug, and wine-bottle-friendly interior round out a feature set designed for real use, not just a spec sheet. Stainless anchoring pins and tie-down slots make it easy to secure in any rig. Non-slip rubber feet keep it planted on any surface. The Nanuk 25QT isn't just the best compact cooler for day trips — it's the last one you'll ever need to buy. 5 Tips to keep it Cold & Tough PRE-CHILL FOR MAX PERFORMANCE — Pre-cool your cooler before use. Add a bag of ice for 30–60 minutes, discard the melted ice, then load with cold contents. USE THE RIGHT ICE RATIO — For best results: 2/3 ice, 1/3 contents. Block ice lasts longer. KEEP IT CLOSED — Limit lid openings. Warm air is the enemy. CLEAN AFTER USE — Wash with mild soap and warm water. Dry completely before storage. STORE SMART — Store slightly open in a cool, dry place.
