It’s a .5 gallon plastic igloo thing that’s sold everywhere. Now that it’s hot outside, the ice and water melts too soon. I’ve switched to putting only ice but that still melted and stopped being cold too soon.

Is there something I can wrap it in that would be somewhat practical? What are your thoughts? Thanks!

Start with cold water. I find that starting with room temp water will consume most of the ice within minutes and soften whatever's left.

Yeah. I do start with refrigerated water from a brita pitcher. It’s true that the issue is it’s a cheap thermos. Expecting it to stay cold/frozen all day being mostly outside is asking a bit much.
