Titan Deep Freeze Arctic Zone Zippered Jacket Review

A large messenger cooler with an over-the-shoulder carry strap is called the Arctic Titan Zipperless. It has an attached bottle opener that is difficult to use, a removable internal shelf, two insulated zippered exterior pockets, and two exterior mesh pockets. In addition to the 30 can model we tested, it is available in a variety of colors and sizes.

Efficiency Evaluation

The Arctic Titan Zipperless cooler isn't the best, but it functions well and is reasonably priced.

Insulating power

The Titan's relatively thin walls actually do a good job of insulating its contents. It maintained temperatures below 40°F for 40 hours and 48 hours below 50°F in our thorough testing, which is impressive at this price range. That certainly works well enough for a long day at the beach or park, even though it's not amazing enough for your four-day weekend camping trip.

The Titan is made of SuperFoam insulation inside of a polyester exterior and lined with a reflective barrier to help reflect radiant heat away in order to achieve this level of insulation without the 2 inch thick walls of some of its competitors. The cooler's floor is thicker than its walls to help it resist heat from the surface you're likely to set it on during the summer.

Large models' performance in our insulation testing (over 20L)

We're actually quite impressed by its insulation performance, given how thin it is. Although it comes in a variety of colors, we tested the white one, which also aids in reducing sun heat. But be careful because this cooler doesn't have an airtight seal and will spill if it is tilted or sloshed.

The Titan actually performs about average when it comes to maintaining cold temperatures despite having very thin insulation.

Effortless Use

The Titan operates generally in a manner similar to that of a flip-top cooler. It's simple and packed with features to make it easier for you to carry everything you need for a day of adventuring. Opening and closing it is simple due to the complete lack of a zipper, as opposed to many other items that have tough, watertight zippers that require two hands to operate. We examined the 30-can size.

It also has two mesh pockets on the ends that can hold dry items and two zippered front pockets. Bringing a chair and a blanket Utilizing the bungee cord, affix it directly to the top of the cooler. The interior removable shelf can be used to store smaller snacks or items you don't want to get wet from floating in melted ice.

The included bottle opener is difficult to use and has rounded edges.

However, all of these features are on the verge of being either too flimsy or poorly thought out to be of any use. The velcro tab holding the lid closed isn't exactly in the right location for the two sides to match well, the side mesh pockets are easily prone to snagging, and the zippers are uninspiring in their design. The lid's bungee is almost too loose to be of much use. It is extremely challenging to actually open a bottle with the bottle opener attached to one side because it has smooth edges. The removable shelf is easily knocked off until it is partially buried in the ice because it rests on a tiny lip inside the cooler body. Additionally, the interior of the cooler is lined with curved ridges that resemble cans but are too large for 12 oz. cans, which reduces its overall capacity and complicates packing.

The exterior of the Titan is covered in numerous pockets.

Portability

When the Titan is empty, it weighs 3 Compared to the models we tested, 4 lb is on the lighter side. Just as it claims, we measured its capacity to be 21 quarts (20 liters) and a maximum of 30 cans without ice. This cooler is not enjoyable to carry when it is fully loaded with those 30 cans, as was to be expected. Nevertheless, it still functions to transport your cooler and its contents, just less effectively than more expensive models.

It's not our preferred option for transporting things even when it's not completely filled with heavy liquids. It's not particularly pleasant to have it bump up against your side because of its excessively boxy shape, which has a hard exterior and angular edges. For most people, the shoulder strap is too short to be a good option for carrying crossbody. Additionally, the "cushion" threaded onto it is a textured, rubbery patch rather than anything at all squishy. It lacks duffel handles as well, but it does have two small, padded handles on the ends that are pleasant to hold and can be tucked away into the end mesh pockets when not in use.

With a heavy load, the Titan Zipperless' rubber "padding" on the strap is not very comfortable.

Durability

Throughout the months we spent testing the Titan, nothing broke; the only damage was a few stains on the white exterior. We have concerns, though, about its durability under years of heavy use.

The internal plastic box can be removed and is thin. We really would rather the cooler not break since that is the only component preventing ice water leaks. In addition to numerous other reports of ripped seams, broken handles, and busted zippers, we read online user reviews in which users claimed that's exactly what happened to their coolers. In fact, the Titan's entire design gives us little reason to believe that it will withstand years of arduous adventure. Although nothing actually malfunctioned while our model was being tested, we don't think it will hold up as well to time as some of the other models we test. Actually, we're fairly certain that it won't, but on the other hand, it is adequate and more reasonably priced than other models.

Value

Among the less expensive coolers we tested is the Titan Zipperless. Its longevity hasn't completely won us over, and we believe some of its features could be more thoughtfully created. However, it offers strong insulation and simple usability for a price that most people can afford. Just don't expect it to be a dependable daily driver over the years.

Conclusion

The Arctic Zone Titan Deep Freeze Zipperless has mediocre insulation abilities but is undoubtedly functional for a day in the sun. Although many of the features are more gimmicky than useful, it is reasonably simple to use. Although it isn't the most durable option, it is one of the more affordable ones. If you don't plan on using it exclusively, it's a great option for daytime or overnight use.

It's not the most amazing cooler we tested, but for an incredibly low price, it does provide respectable insulation and a high level of usability.
