Can the shoulder strap be detached?

Is the cooler suitable for carrying hot food?

What material is the interior insulation made of?
The interior insulation is made of expanded polystyrene (EPS), known for its excellent thermal insulation properties.
How should I clean the leather strap?
Wipe the leather strap with a damp cloth. For maintenance, you can use a dedicated leather conditioner to keep it supple.
Does this cooler float if dropped in water?
The product information does not specify buoyancy. It is designed for land-based outdoor activities and should not be relied upon to float.
Troubleshooting
Cooler is not keeping items cold for as long as expected.
Ensure the cooler is fully pre-chilled before use. Pack with sufficient ice packs or ice, and minimize the time the lid is open. Avoid placing the cooler in direct sunlight.
The leather strap shows signs of wear.
Clean the strap with a damp cloth and consider using a leather conditioner periodically to maintain its suppleness and prevent cracking.
Interior has an odor after storage.
Ensure the cooler is thoroughly cleaned and completely dried before storing. If an odor persists, mix a solution of baking soda and water, wipe the interior, let it sit for a while, then rinse and dry completely.
Exterior surface has scuff marks.
For minor scuffs on the colored polypropylene, try wiping with a damp cloth and mild soap. For deeper marks, a magic eraser might be effective but test on an inconspicuous area first.
