Igloo launched the 'Gripper CoolBox,' a 10-quart personal cooler designed for trade workers, delivery drivers and daily commuters who need to keep food fresh during long shifts. The Igloo Gripper CoolBox is priced at $99.99 and features an injection-molded design, toolbox-style latches, a rubber non-slip base and a leak-resistant gasket.
An attic-style lid compartment with a clip-in divider holds up to three cans or snacks, separate from the main section of the cooler, which fits up to eight cans, along with containers and bottles. The cooler is available now on Igloo's website, at Walmart and at Academy Sports + Outdoors.
Igloo's latest cooler shows how cooler brands are bringing heavy-duty construction and job-site-tested products to the everyday lunchbox category.
