Igloo

 What Sets Igloo Coolers Apart?

A lot goes into making a cooler, and we’re committed every step of the way. From designing in-house at our Katy, Texas HQ to testing ice retention and leakproof capabilities in our lab (also at our HQ) and out-in-the-real-world experiments for things like trying out a cooler backpack on an actual hike to determine how to enhance its comfort features.

We include handy features where it makes sense — like built-in bottle openers and carabiner attachments or adjustable shoulder straps and antimicrobial liners — and leave out the bells and whistles on our more basic cooler bags, but we never, ever throw in something you won’t actually use. And we always focus on providing you with long-lasting cold retention, the whole point of a cooler! Our affordable soft cooler designs are thoughtful, intuitive and reliable because we think of YOU and the ways you’ll use your cooler every day or on extended adventures. Nothing will ever change that.

We’ve Been The Cooler Brand Since 1947

Over the last 75+ years, we’ve been making the world cooler. Because our coolers are not just for keeping drinks cold, they’re the centerpiece of fun for ALL! We are, and have always been, The Cooler Brand.

Our Cooler Story

We started out in 1947 making steel water jugs for oil field workers, but it wasn’t long before we started getting even cooler. Most know us for inventing the Playmate — our world-famous cooler released in 1971. This engineering icon has such a distinct, revolutionary design (we’re good at thinking outside the “icebox”), it’s on display at the Smithsonian! Through many other innovations over the decades — the first plastic cooler in the ‘60s, the first wheeled cooler (1994), the first hardside coolers made from recycled plastic (2021) and many more in between — we became the go-to brand for consumers around the world who work hard and play harder.

Creating Cooler Moments

We go ALL in on fun and creating products that are practical, durable, versatile and stylish. Coolers that encourage everyone — of any age from anywhere (and everyone in between) — to head outside and enjoy their time with us.
