Source: treelinereview.com (verified 2026-07-13) · corroborated by gearjunkie.com. GearJunkie's dated (April 17, 2026) review, titled "REI Co-op Trail Gate Cooler," identifies the tested unit as the 30 L model and lists size "16 x 15 x 12", 30 L capacity, and 5 lbs 15 oz weight, confirming model identity. Treeline Review's tested review of the "REI Co-op Trailgate 30 L Weekend Cooler" provides the full spec sheet (30 liters; 16" x 15" x 12"; 5.9 lbs; REI's claimed 64+ hour ice retention below 40°F) and states the US MSRP as $159.95 ("$160" in its comparison table), the price used here. REI's own product page and an eBay listing both returned HTTP 403 and could not be fetched, so these two independent dated reviews (both reporting REI's stated specs) are the fetched sources; canCapacity is null because the only cans figure given (24) is stated "with 10 lbs of ice," not the without-ice count the methodology requires.
