Hurricane Season – Why You NEED Thick Wall Foam Cooler Ice Chests

Foam Ice Chests – Much More Affordable, Keeps Ice Longer, Recyclable – Just A Few Reasons To Stock Up Before Hurricane Season

Foam Cooler Ice Chests For Hurricane Preparedness

When you’re watching the local and regional weather news with tropical waves coming off the coast of Africa, that’s about the time you start ticking off the list of things you ought to have on hand just in case you need them in the even of a tropical storm or hurricane landing in your area.  On that list of must-have items, ice chest foam coolers with extra thick walls should be right near the top of your priorities.  A recent article launched on the web by the LoBoy Foam Coolers Team discusses important reasons why.  One that stands out is the affordability of large volume foam ice chests in comparison to hard shell coolers of similar volume.

In emergency situations or during events where scarcity is a serious possibility, there are many people who can’t afford to pay hundreds of dollars for one single cooler and whose budgets are mostly concerned with the bare necessities of survival.  For the cost of a single quality hard shell cooler, a person can get several (or more) thick wall eps (expanded polystyrene) foam ice chests that keep food and drinks and medicines cold for days, just as long or LONGER than hard shell coolers.

During emergency events, this economic advantage is a great convenience because not only can less fortunate people easily afford them, but well-to-do people can ensure their own comfort and still help others by having multiple units on hand, just in case.

These and other points are discussed in our web article:  Read Six Reasons Why You MUST Have A Foam Cooler Ice Chest During Hurricane Season…

 

A Choice Between Thick Walled Foam Ice Chests Vs Thin Wall Foam Coolers

We Invented The Thick Walled Foam Ice Chest To Replace Thin Walled Breakable Coolers For Good Reason…

Inventor Of The Thick Wall Foam Ice Chest CoolerIn 1967, the founder of our company  had endured enough frustration from having cheap ‘styrofoam’ coolers break or leak when he went out fishing off the coast of Destin, Florida.  In those days, many fishermen would load their catches into such coolers to take back to the dock, with a high likelihood of suffering a ‘foam cooler disaster’ because they simply were not well made enough to handle that kind of a pounding.

So, Charles Watkins decided to do something revolutionary and create a foam cooler that could be packed full of ice along with fish and seafood or drinks and still handle the rugged workload of charter fleet fishermen without punishing their wallets.

In his own garage, Mr. Watkins built what’s considered to be the first thick walled foam ice chest for his own successful use, and this created instant demand from associates who were similarly frustrated.  Soon, he was making so many that he would load them up in his pick-up truck and sell them out of the local grocery store he owned right across the street from the beach in Destin.  Demand grew so quickly that a manufacturing plant was opened and the foam cooler industry took note and began falling into line.

This most recent article launched by the LoBoy Team discusses why thick walled foam ice chests are a better choice than weaker thin walled varieties (keeping in mind of course that there are some quality thinner walled types)…Read Read Three Reasons Why Thick Wall Foam Ice Chests Are Better Than Cheap Ones

As a manufacturer located just minutes away from the pristine, sugar-white sand and crystal clear emerald-green waters of the beaches of Fort Walton Beach and Destin, Florida, the LoBoy team is serious about foam cooler quality because nothing disappoints like seeing badly made foam coolers broken and discarded on our shores.

Cheap, flimsy, breakable foam coolers perpetuate perceptions of cheapness, poor quality, low customer satisfaction, increased littering, and failure to recycle whereas high-quality foam coolers earn customer respect, last for years, and reduce garbage on the beach because people keep them for years of reuse rather than cast them aside.

This latest article release by the LoBoy Team highlights five major reasons why consumers should stay away from cheap foam coolers and help raise social standards for foam cooler quality.  Read Five Reasons To Avoid Cheap Foam Coolers.
