# Extra-Cold Ice-Free Coolers The Oyster Tempo Keeps Items Cold with Ice Packs and Metal Design By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2023-04-06 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oyster-tempo References: [coolthings](https://www.coolthings.com/oyster-tempo-boasts-three-times-colder-temperatures-than-rotomolded-coolers/) & [oystercooler](https://oystercooler.com/pages/the-tempo-cooler)  Rotomolded coolers quickly became the norm over the past several years but can have a somewhat inefficient functionality, which is something the [Oyster](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oyster-tempo-1) [Tempo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cook-never-club) cooler is here to change. The cooler features a 24-quart capacity that fits up to 36 cans with no room to spare for ice; the unit is kept chilled with [Thermal Ice Packs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freezable-market-tote) that take up drastically less space than conventional ice. The cooler is constructed with an inner container that maximizes insulating properties, while a thermal bridge reduces conductivity between layers and a thermal circulation design to expedite the movement of cold air inside. The Oyster Tempo cooler features a design-conscious construction that's inherently stylish and will easily withstand exposure to demanding environments. Priced at $605, the cooler is available now for preorder. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.2/10 - Popularity: 75% | Activity: 66% | Freshness: 15% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Ice-pack Cooling:** The trend of using ice packs instead of traditional ice for cooling is disrupting the rotomolded cooler market. - **Efficient Insulation:** The trend of designing coolers with maximum insulating properties and minimal conductivity is disrupting the traditional cooler market. - **Stylish Durability:** The trend of incorporating design-conscious elements in coolers that can withstand demanding environments is disrupting the durable cooler market. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Outdoor Recreation:** The trend of developing efficient and durable coolers with ice-pack cooling can disrupt the outdoor recreation industry by offering more effective storage solutions for perishable items. - **Food and Beverage:** The trend of offering efficient and stylish cooling solutions can disrupt the food and beverage industry by offering more practical approaches to storage, transport, and display of products. - **Medical and Pharmaceutical:** The trend of using efficient and insulated cooling solutions can disrupt the medical and pharmaceutical industry by offering better temperature control for sensitive materials during transport and storage. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Recyclable Performance Coolers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oyster-tempo-1.md) - [Ice-Free Compression Coolers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/igloo-icf-series.md) - [Ultra-Sturdy Drink Coolers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/east-oak-hard-cooler.md) - [Heavy-Duty Camper Coolers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dometic-coolice.md) - [AC-Equipped Camping Coolers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solo-stove-windchill-47.md) - [Convenient Freezable Coolers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freezable-cooler.md) - [Durable Adventurer Cooler Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/igloo-trailmate-cooler.md) - [Nanogel Insulation Camping Coolers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freezill-soft-cooler.md) - [Recyclable Cooler Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coleman-geofreeze-cooler.md)
