Dometic have launched a new line of robust cooler boxes, constructed for outdoor use. Dometic’s new Patrol icebox has endured some seriously tough durability tests and is built to endure a wide range of temperatures. Engineered from a single piece of rotomoulded polyethylene, the Patrol box body and lid are constructed to endure more than any cool box should. The insulation, not surprisingly, is as effective as the outer shell and features thick PU-insulated walls alongside a full-length hinge pin. Its high-performance design will keep ice frozen for days, so fresh food and cold drinks can be available in any climate off grid. These boxes also offer smart features such as a leak-proof drain, deep-freeze lid seal and one-handed rubber latch opening, while an accessory dock for rod holders, cup holders and bottle openers is also available as an optional extra.
The Patrol boxes come in a range of sizes: 20L, 35L and 55L. A new range of colours is now available, Ocean, Olive and Mango, as well as Dometic’s legacy Slate and Mist colours. In addition, the icebox comes with a set of removable stickers to personalise it. The Dometic Patrol series is available now in the European markets, both online and at selected retailers, from £171 (inc. VAT).
