In detail: EDA Iceberg, 32-litre rigid passive cooler
The EDA Iceberg cooler is a 32-litre rigid passive cooler, made in France by EDA Plastiques, a company based in Bellignat in the Ain department, well established in mass retail (Carrefour, Auchan) for its outdoor plastic products. With no electricity or compressor, it relies on full insulation of both body and lid to hold the cold brought by ice packs or ice cubes.
The manufacturer claims a rise from 5°C to 15°C over 12 hours with two 675g ice packs (not included), a decent performance for an entry-level passive cooler over a day trip. Its lockable handle secures the lid during transport, a detail that prevents accidental openings in a car, unlike many passive coolers with no closure system.
At 2.33 kg empty and 47 x 32.5 x 41.5 cm, it stays easy to carry, with enough usable volume to fit 2-litre bottles standing upright, alongside food and drinks for a family picnic or beach trip.
For anyone after a simple, sturdy passive cooler made in France, without the costs and constraints of an electric cooler, the EDA Iceberg 32L remains a solid value in the entry-level segment, available directly from the manufacturer or in mass retail.

Comparison
In the rigid passive cooler segment around 30 litres, the EDA Iceberg is naturally compared with the Coleman Xtreme 28QT, another well-known market reference, in searches such as "EDA Iceberg vs Coleman Xtreme". Here's how the two compare, based on both manufacturers' public specifications.
| Criterion | EDA Iceberg 32L | Coleman Xtreme 28QT |
|---|---|---|
| Capacity | 32 L | 26.5 L |
| Claimed runtime | 12h (5°C to 15°C) | Up to 4 days (extended use) |
| Closure | Lockable by the handle | Side latches |
| Origin | Made in France | American brand |
| Price observed | ≈€35 | Varies by retailer |
In short, the EDA Iceberg relies on French manufacturing and an affordable price for occasional day-trip use, while the Coleman Xtreme targets longer runtime thanks to reinforced insulation, for extended trips over several days.
Our tester's verdict: Gilles Caron
I took it along for a full-day family picnic, packed with two standard ice packs. Cold retention lived up to expectations throughout the day, with a gradual temperature rise rather than a sudden drop-off, matching the manufacturer's claim of going from 5°C to 15°C over 12h. The lockable handle is genuinely reassuring for car transport, keeping the lid firmly in place even on a bumpy track, something many entry-level passive coolers lack. At 2.33 kg empty, it stays easy to carry even once loaded with drinks and food. 2-litre bottles fit standing upright without issue, a real plus for anyone wanting to bring larger containers. For occasional use such as a picnic or beach trip, with the advantage of French manufacturing, it remains a solid, affordable choice.
