Weak design tether pins.

Well I've had this cooler for a little over a year and I really like it. But today I put the strap around my shoulder and the pin broke off on one side and the radiator fell to the ground. Upon examination, I was surprised that it lasted so long. The other pin also threatened to fall out. They claim solid construction, but the sturdy pins holding the strap are held in place by flimsy plastic and are doomed to fail from the start. I love this cooler but gosh what a bad design. They show the massive pins but say nothing about the thin sheet of plastic that holds them in place. * Updating. I put the pins back in and filled all the voids around them with epoxy and they are like new. Honestly this is a great cooler and this design flaw is easy to fix and it took at least a year of daily abuse before it became a problem.

Pros
  • handy thing
Cons
  • thin
