Cool innovation for everyone!

Outdoor innovation keeps things comfortable and cool!

Ever stood with a plate of food balanced in one hand, drink in the other, plastic cutlery precariously hanging over the edge of the plate, salivating over the steak or burger that’s just come right off the grill that you don’t have enough hands to eat, wishing you had an extra seat?

Yep – we’ve all been there, whether it’s on a camping or hunting trip, backyard party or even the school football game.

What on earth does this have to do with powder coating I also hear you ask? Bear with us – it’s not as much of a stretch as you think. Some truly innovative thinking from Kaspar Manufacturing came up with the Cooler Rest. Essentially it’s a cooler seat backrest that transforms your ice chest into a comfortable cooler seat with the addition of a stylish backrest. Simple genius!

There’s some thought gone into this too - even with the cooler seat in place, the cooler will open and close normally, and the backrest easily attaches and detaches for travel or storage.  Cooler Rest went through a comprehensive development process to make sure that comfort was a priority – there’s even a specific degree of bend to make it a very natural, comfortable way to sit.

So where does the powder coating come in? Well some innovative thinking requires some innovative powders, and IFS Coatings powders were chosen to protect and decorate the metal frame and back rest

The cooler seat conversion is made to last, ensuring your outdoor adventures will remain comfortable for years to come, and so tough, durable, powders were the obvious coating choice.  Scratch resistance was clearly important as was the choice of colors – the design team wanted their customers to be able to match to their outdoors color palette or reflect their unique personality. IFS was able to offer all of that in an easy to apply formulation that can reduce powder waste and is very competitively priced.

The Classic and Premier Series Cooler Rest are powder coated in a choice of 5 colors.  With a Custom Design, the customer can choose to powder coat the back and frame in a variety of colors and even mix and match.

100% made in America, in Texas to be precise, this piece of powder coated innovation genuinely puts a smile on your face when you see it. Not to mention on the faces of the fisherman, hunters, campers, boaters, tailgaters, parents attending kids’ games, and folks looking to just chill with their family and friends in the backyard. 

No more awkward glass/plate juggling!
