Intex Mega Chill II, Inflatable Floating Cooler, 48″ X 38″
Design of the Intex Mega Chill 2
The Intex Mega Chill II is an inflatable float that measures approximately 48” x 38”. It is made of high-grade vinyl and you can inflate it using a mechanical pump easily and quickly. The float has an inner compartment that can fit a 48-quart cooler or 72 cans. This should be enough to sustain you through a long river ride. The Intex Mega Chill II also has 6 cup holders to securely hold your beverages, and 4 heavy-duty handles to easily push the float in and out of the water. Not only that, but the float also features the ‘connect and hold’ system to securely connect it to your tube or kayak in the river. This means you can always keep your drinks nearby
Intex Cooler Stability and storage
The tube is very sturdy and it can effortlessly withstand the rapid waters of a river without toppling or deflating. The tube can be inflated the night before the trip and you can simply carry it with you to the river or lake. The vinyl body also ensures that your drinks will stay cold for as long as possible, and as I have mentioned above, you can even fit in a 48-quart cooler if you want things to stay even cooler. It is recommended to put a few ice bags with your drinks and you can also freeze your drinks overnight to help them sustain the outside heat better. The Intex Mega Chill II can serve as a safe space for you in the river, where you can store your clothes and food to keep them dry and safe, as the lid will prevent water from getting in.
