What is the Dometic Cool Ice CI 28 Glow?
The Dometic Cool Ice CI 28 Glow is a heavy-duty 28-litre passive icebox designed to keep ice and cold packs frozen for several days — without the need for power. Built for outdoor adventures, boating, camping and fishing trips, it delivers dependable cooling through premium insulation and virtually indestructible construction.
Its rotomoulded cabinet creates a seamless, impact-resistant shell, while thick PU insulation and a tight lid seal help maintain low internal temperatures in demanding conditions. Taller internal dimensions allow upright storage of wine or Champagne bottles, making it equally suitable for outdoor dining and longer trips.
Best for
- Weekend camping trips
- Boating and marine environments
- Fishing adventures
- Beach days and picnics
- Off-grid travel
- Outdoor entertaining with upright bottle storage
Materials & Construction
Rotomoulded One-Piece Cabinet
The CI 28 Glow uses rotomoulded polyethylene construction, creating a single-piece, seam-free outer shell. This manufacturing method ensures even wall thickness, improved insulation performance and exceptional impact resistance.
With no bonded joints, there are fewer weak points where heat can enter or cold can escape — increasing both thermal efficiency and structural durability.
Refrigeration-Grade PU Foam Insulation
The walls and lid are filled with extra-strong polyurethane (PU) foam insulation. This high-density insulation significantly slows heat transfer, allowing ice or cold packs to remain frozen for multiple days when properly packed.
This level of insulation is comparable to commercial refrigeration-grade standards, optimised for outdoor temperature fluctuations.
Labyrinth Seal Lid Design
A precision-engineered lid seal reduces air exchange when closed. By limiting warm air ingress and cold air escape, it enhances ice retention performance even in warm climates.
Features
Multi-Day Ice Retention
When packed efficiently, the CI 28 can keep contents cold for several days without external power — ideal for extended trips or remote environments.
Tall Interior for Upright Bottles
The internal height accommodates wine or Champagne bottles standing upright. This makes it practical for both functional storage and outdoor entertaining.
One-Hand-Release Rubber Latches
Heavy-duty rubber latches provide a secure seal while allowing quick, one-handed access. This improves convenience without compromising insulation performance.
Accessory Slot Compatibility
Integrated slot design allows attachment of compatible Dometic CI accessories, increasing versatility and customisation potential.
Removable Tray for Open Packages
An internal tray keeps frequently accessed items separated from ice or loose contents. It’s ideal for open food packages or smaller items you want kept dry.
Sturdy Carrying Handles
Ergonomic, heavy-duty side handles provide secure transport, even when fully loaded.
Glow Visibility Feature
The Glow finish enhances visibility in low-light conditions, making the cooler easier to locate at night or inside dim storage spaces.
