I'm looking at coolers to take my food on the road with me. I have a cheap one that I bought at a thrift store that works, but doesn't really keep things cold for long. As with most pilots, I'll need something that will hold 3-4 days worth of food (roughly 200 sq. in. per day), and will keep it cold for up to 14 hours in the summer. There are a bunch of options, so I'm wondering if anyone has experience with any of them, or has any other suggestions?

StrongBags is amazing...it really will keep ice in a solid-state for 24 hours...I have had mine for almost 2 years with no issues
 
Strongbags for the win! You can stuff all sorts of fruit, crackers, granola bars, nuts, peanut butter, etc., in the pockets. Even room for a Starbucks thermos with cup. Lot's of room inside for drinks, sammies, cans of tuna and chicken salad, carrot sticks, hummus, yogurt, little tupperware containers, etc. I have the luxury now of using different sizes of blue ice packs but for just ice, use the double wall ziploc freezer bags.
 
I have the LW bag, but am debating getting the StrongBags cooler. The LW is nice, but it's not big enough for four days worth of meals if you pack breakfast-dinner plus ice (for me anyway). The StrongBags is quite a bit larger.
 
The LW works fine for me, while it is a bit smaller it does fit very nice with my LW roll aboard and with some careful packing I can get 3/4 days worth of meals...
 
I've got the strongbags cooler. I've had it only a week now, but I'm quite impressed. It has lots of room, good side pockets, and keeps things cold for a long time. The price is a little high, but the quality is definitely superior to the LW cooler.
