Overview

Slinging over both shoulders on padded straps, this soft backpack cooler holds drinks and food in a dual compartment layout. The shell is polyester with a PEVA liner and polyethylene foam insulation, and it folds when empty.

A soft shell is light and easy to carry on beach, trail and picnic trips, and it collapses for storage. A built-in opener and extra pockets add convenience. The title lists two can sizes, while the specs describe one.

Who it's for

Day-trippers who carry drinks and snacks on foot or to the water. Camping groups who need ice for days should choose a hard cooler.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Backpack carry with padded straps
  • Bottle opener built in
  • Lifetime warranty named
Cons
  • Cold-hold claim lacks detail
  • Two sizes in the title
  • Only water resistant per specs

Performance notes

Foam insulation and a liner slow heat transfer, so ice lasts longer when the bag is pre-chilled, packed full and kept shut. A soft shell gives less insulation than thick molded walls, so hold times are shorter. Zippers and seams are the usual weak points for leaks.
