Outdoor Cooler Brand Expansions

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Titan by Arctic Zone's Titan 60 is Available at DICK'S

— March 10, 2026 — Business
Titan by Arctic Zone, a leading soft-sided cooler brand under the California Innovations family, has launched its Titan 60 Can Wheeled Cooler at DICK'S Sporting Goods stores nationwide and online. This is the brand's first entry into the iconic retailer.

The cooler's ColdBlock base actively resists heat conduction and radiant transfer, while the Deep Freeze Performance Insulation and Therma-Flect interior work together to lock in cold temperatures. Practical features such as the Easy Access Hatch allow quick retrieval of beverages without fully opening the main compartment and Ultra Safe leak-proof lining with Microban protection resists bacterial odors and simplifies cleaning. Mobility is enhanced by a detachable A.T. cart and Titan by Arctic Zone's patented Backsaver adjustable shoulder strap, which centers the load for comfortable carrying even when the cooler is fully loaded.
