Procurement notes
- If you need all-day cooling on-site, use the 30-hour rating as a planning reference and pack with adequate ice/ice packs based on ambient temperature
- If your team carries 1-liter bottles, the recessed lid design is a direct fit benefit
- For crews, consider standardizing the same model so lids, latch behavior, and capacity stay consistent across the fleet
