The chimney is detachable, and the legs fold, making it truly portable. Weighing just over 26 pounds, which is about the same as a case of beer, you can host a pizza party in any outdoor space.

  9. 9. Fenik Yuma 60L Cooler.

This portable cooler can be assembled in under 30 seconds and operates exclusively using water or river water. In hot and dry conditions, it can preserve food for up to five days without needing a refill.

    Read more

    The secret lies in our patent pending smart fabric technology, inspired by the human body's natural cooling system sweating. We've developed a smart material called "FaceTec," with flexible walls made of food safe plastic on the inside and FaceTec on the outside. Water is stored in between the layers, and as it absorbs heat from the food, it turns into vapor. This vapor passes through specialized pores in the FaceTec, taking heat and energy with it. In hot and dry conditions, the interior of the cooler can be up to 35 degrees Fahrenheit or 20 degrees Celsius colder than the surrounding air.

    This cooling effect significantly extends the shelf life of perishable food, making it ideal for fruits and vegetables that are best stored at room temperature. The Fenik Yuma Cooler is perfect for extended trips, off grid living, reducing your carbon footprint, or simply as extra storage for perishable items. It comes with convenient carrying straps and can be stacked to save space, making it a versatile addition to your outdoor adventures.
