Kelty Basecamp Cooler Binto (Slate Blue/Steel)

I used this cooler recently on our trip to Hawaii. It was nice have a cooler in the beach (beats having to buy those $9 drinks). For it's physical size, it's capacity is surprising large. The specs say a 28 can capacity. That would be loading it to the max, but you could probably squeeze close that that many in. It would be pretty heavy though. As mentioned in the other review, ice does melt rather quickly. I didn't have a problem with condensation on the outside though. The binto does contain the water, however, the weak point is zipper. Sitting upright, it won't leak. However, if there is water inside and it tips over, the water will leak (slowly) from where the zipper seals. A better way to use this is use no ice at all. If you chill your drinks first, I found that this cooler kept them cold for about 6-8 hours. This binto does not collapse as well as the other bintos due to the insulation.

This cooler would be better utilized as a bag to keep things cold or hot, but not as a typical "cooler". The ice melts quickly due to the thin walls of the cooler. The thin walls also cause water to condensate rather easily on the outside when you have ice inside. Even though it seems to hold the water well, the condensation that forms on the outside is just as if water is leaking through the walls.
