PERFORMANCE TIPS

Understanding your coolers performance features

Maluna Coolers have a one-of-a-kind look, but our claims of high performance are often challenged. To best understand why Maluna Coolers are able to outperform the top competition by 35% in optimal conditions requires understanding what makes Maluna different.

Rear Tension Straps

Our rear tension straps are designed to apply pressure to the back of the cooler. Maluna is different than every other cooler on the market with our patented hinge-design. The loose hinge allows for the coolers gasket to sit flush with the edge of the cooler. This combined with front and rear straps makes it the only cooler with a perfect gasket placement with 360 degrees of even pressure.

One Piece Gasket

If you look at most coolers on the market and look at the gasket, you can usually find a spot where the gasket was cut and glued/taped together. Overtime those gaskets peel, pull a part and don't retain air temperature well.

Maluna features a one-piece gasket designed for superior air retention. Its thickness, coupled with additional rubber ridges, creates multiple barriers, enhancing its ability to prevent air from escaping or entering.

Additional cooler tips to make ice last longer

Check out these tips to make ice last longer and to keep your stuff chilled longer.

Different types of Ice

Hollow Ice or Ice with holes

You will find that most ice you buy at a grocery, liquor or convenient store have holes in it. This is partly by design because this ice takes up more volume and has more exposed surface area to melt faster. The faster your ice melts, the more ice they sell!

Solid cubes and blocks of ice

The best ice you can get is solid cubes or blocks of ice. Blocks of ice can be bought at grocery, liquor and convenient stores or you can make them at home. Recycle old water, milk and juice jugs by filling them with water and freezing them ahead of time.

Dry Ice

For long extended trips, dry ice may be the ticket to keeping things cold even longer. Dry ice is a tool amongst cooler users who are looking to save more space for goods going on long trips. Typically used for wild game or long road trips with food, this is an excellent tool in the right situation. We do not recommend using this for drinks or small trips.
