What is the Ninja FrostVault Cooler<\/h2>\r\nWarm sand feels great between the toes, but it doesn't bode well for keeping non-alcoholic beers<\/a> and probiotic sodas<\/a> ice cold. The Ninja FrostVault 50-quart Hard Cooler is a rotomolded hard side cooler that combats hot weather with incredible insulation capabilities. It looks and feels similar to coolers from other popular brands like Lifetime<\/a>.\r\n\r\nFeaturing a fridge-temp dry storage drawer, the FrostVault offers a cool, separate place for food and snacks. Because they never come into contact with ice, there's no danger of soggy sandwiches or damp desserts! It's available in four colors, including green, grey, blue and white. Each color comes in a choice of two sizes: 30- and 50-quarts.\r\n\r\n[quote-card quote=\"You want the beach to be warm, but not your food and drinks. This Ninja cooler has you covered with its smart DryZone drawer and above-average ice retention.\" name=\"Annamarie Higley\" title=\"Product Tester \" \/]\r\n\r\nThe two-tone look adds a nice flair, and the orange on the drawer lever gives the exterior a fun pop of color. Additionally, the folding latch is easy to use for most folks\u2014nothing like the complicated T-straps that became standardized with Yetis. It's even lockable to keep bears (and little ones) out.\r\n\r\nThree layers of insulation ensure that ice stays intact for days at a time, meaning it's the perfect pick for multi-day excursions and ultra-hot beach vacays. (Psst\u2014check out Ninja's newest version of the cooler<\/a>, which sports handy wheels for navigating tough terrain).\r\n
