Igloo 150-Quart XL MaxCold Cooler with Butterfly Quick-Access Hatch, Holds Up to 256 Cans

Keep refreshments cold for large gatherings, extended outdoor trips, sporting events, and group activities with the Igloo 150-Quart XL MaxCold Cooler. Its extra-large interior accommodates up to 256 cans, while MaxCold insulation throughout the lid and body helps maintain cold temperatures for extended periods.

A butterfly-style hatch provides quick access to frequently used items without opening the entire lid. Oversized hinges, rubberized Sure-Lock latches, swing-up handles, UV inhibitors, and a drain plug complete this event-ready hard-sided cooler.

Extra-Large 150-Quart Capacity

With 150 quarts—or approximately 142 liters—of interior capacity, this cooler is designed for occasions that require significantly more storage than a standard portable ice chest.

It can accommodate up to 256 standard cans when packed without ice. The usable beverage capacity will decrease when ice, ice packs, food containers, or other items are added.

Its generous size makes it suitable for:

• Large family gatherings

• Sporting events

• Tailgates

• Camping trips

• Fishing and boating

• Cookouts and parties

• Community events

• Group travel

• Work crews

• Emergency cold storage

Butterfly Quick-Access Hatch

A butterfly-style hatch is integrated into the main lid, allowing users to reach inside without lifting the entire lid. This smaller opening provides convenient access to frequently requested drinks and can help limit the amount of cold air released during repeated use.

The hatch is especially helpful at parties, tailgates, tournaments, and other events where the cooler may be opened frequently.

MaxCold Insulation

The lid and body are fully insulated with Igloo MaxCold technology to support extended cooling performance. Under controlled testing conditions, the cooler can provide ice retention for up to seven days.

Actual ice retention will vary based on:

• Ambient temperature

• Direct sun exposure

• Starting temperature of the cooler and contents

• Type and quantity of ice

• Frequency and duration of opening

• Amount of empty space inside the cooler

• Whether the cooler was pre-chilled

The seven-day rating is a maximum tested result and is not guaranteed under every real-world condition.

Cool Riser Technology

Igloo’s Cool Riser Technology elevates the cooler body away from hot surfaces. Reducing direct contact with warm pavement, decks, truck beds, and other surfaces can help support cooling performance.

For better results, keep the cooler in the shade whenever possible.

Reinforced Lid Hardware

Extra-oversized hinges provide sturdy lid support, while the built-in stay-open detent helps keep the lid raised during loading and unloading.

Enhanced rubberized Sure-Lock latches secure the lid and are designed for convenient two-finger operation. The combination of reinforced hinges and flexible latches provides dependable everyday access during outdoor events and travel.

Comfortable Carrying Handles

Swing-up handles feature comfort-grip surfaces for more secure lifting. The handles fold down when not in use to keep the cooler’s profile more compact during storage and transport.

Because of the cooler’s large capacity and potential loaded weight, two-person lifting is recommended when it contains ice, beverages, or food.

UV Protection and Drainage

UV inhibitors incorporated into the cooler help protect it during outdoor use and prolonged sun exposure. An integrated drain plug allows melted ice and water to be emptied without tipping the entire cooler.

What’s Included

Ice, ice packs, beverages, food, and pictured accessories are not included unless otherwise stated by the retailer.

Tips for Maximum Ice Retention

• Pre-chill the empty cooler before loading it.

• Chill beverages and food before placing them inside.

• Use block ice for longer cooling and cubed ice for faster chilling.

• Pack the cooler as fully as practical to reduce warm air space.

• Use the butterfly hatch for routine access instead of opening the entire lid.

• Keep the main lid and hatch securely closed.

• Place the cooler in the shade whenever possible.

• Avoid leaving it on hot pavement or other heated surfaces.

• Limit the frequency and duration of opening.

• Follow appropriate food-safety guidelines for perishable contents.

Care and Cleaning

• Drain melted ice and remove all contents after use.

• Wash the interior and exterior with mild soap and warm water.

• Rinse or wipe away all soap residue.

• Leave the lid and hatch open until the cooler is completely dry.

• Do not use abrasive pads or harsh chemical cleaners.

• Inspect the drain plug and latches before storage.

• Store in a cool, dry location with the lid slightly open to help prevent odors.

• Do not sit or stand on the lid or quick-access hatch.

Why It Stands Out

The Igloo 150-Quart XL MaxCold Cooler combines very high storage capacity with practical access and reinforced hardware. The butterfly hatch allows drinks to be retrieved without repeatedly opening the full lid, while the insulated body, Cool Riser Technology, robust hinges, rubberized latches, and drain plug support demanding event and outdoor use.

Its ability to hold up to 256 cans makes it especially useful for occasions where a conventional cooler would require frequent refilling.
