KEY POINTS & INTENDED USE

Created to keep the essentials cold for weekend trips the Chilli cooler has

been designed to fit in the centre cockpit of most double sea kayaks. The

Chilli has a removable liner for cleaning. The liner has fully taped-seams for

waterproofness. Little touches like an integrated MEC logo bottle opener and

specially selected light coloured fabric to limit heat absorption. The Chilli's

shape lends itself to the use of 1L Nalgene bottles as ice packs, the melting

ice will also provide drinking water as it melts.

The Chilli's handles are made to double as tie down straps.

COMPARISONS/WHAT HAS CHANGED

In tests against other coolers the Chilli outperformed its competition by

considerable measure. In one test against two soft coolers and one hard cooler

All coolers put in a 32 degree oven with one ice pack for 24 hours.

The Chilli Cooler maintained a temperature below 10 degrees for 16 hours and

under 12 degrees for 24 hours. The soft coolers both were over 10 degrees in

less than 2 hours and the hard cooler went over 10 degrees in 3 hours. The soft

coolers went over 15 degrees after 10 and 12 hours. The hard cooler hit the 12

degree mark after 10 hours and hit the 15 degree mark at 22 hours.

****PAGE DOWN****

At room temperature 22 degrees with 4 X 1 litre icepacks

MEC maintained a temperature below 10 degrees for 45 hours and below 15 degrees

for 61 hours.

Hard plastic cooler maintained a temperature below 10 degrees for 27 hours and

below 15 degrees for 59 hours.

In a replication of the Coleman extreme test - they put the largest block of ice

that will fit in their cooler, close the lid and put it in a space at 32*C and

see how long it takes to fully melt the Chilli lasted 3.5 days. This is

particularly impressive because the smallest of the Coleman extreme line is 55L.
