Coolers have come a long way, but they pretty much all require ice in order to function at their best, which edges in on their actual capacity. The Oyster Tempo changes all that, hence qualifying it as the world’s first high-performance cooler. The apex predator of thermal performance, the Oyster Tempo doesn’t require ice to keep things cold. The result is 3x more internal space and half the exterior dimensions. Also, less weight to lug around. The Oyster Tempo weighs a mere 12.3 pounds compared to others that can weigh more than twice as much. The key material here is recycled aluminum for the shell, an excellent chilled material that retains cold far better than plastic. The double-wall vacuum insulation acts just like your insulated water bottle, and its present for the first time on a cooler. The Oyster Tempo’s lid and strap are fully removable for easy cleaning, too. You can pre-order the cooler right now and be fleet of foot when it arrives in May of this year.
