The 70-quart Trailmate might be the most over-designed cooler we’ve ever seen. And we mean that as a compliment. Pretty much every cooler-related feature you can think of is here—dual bottle openers, a telescoping handle, thick insulation that holds ice up to four days—plus a few extras, like a removable "butler tray" and two brackets to hold umbrella poles or fishing rods. With capacity to hold 144 beers (not including ice), it's pretty much the ultimate post-ride machine.
