20 Best Travel Cooler For Medication (2023 Updated)

This is a must have item. It is the perfect size, similar to those soft coolers. The material is very high quality, it’s a nice thick canvas. I love that the ice packs are part of it. The bag feels similar to those gel filled ice packs.

The inner lining is very thick and seems fairly puncture resistant. The only complaint I have is when you fold it flat to freeze it’s very difficult to unfold. The bottom has this triangle like shape instead of being a flat square.

Once it starts to defrost it reshapes itself. It’s just difficult until that point. I would recommend if you have the space, freeze with it unfolded.

I got this cooler to take on picnics with my 2 kids. I loved the idea of being able to just throw it in the freezer and using it instead of buying ice all the time. And it works perfectly. Our picnics are kind of spontaneous and now all I have to do is grab the cooler out of the freezer, pack it up, and we’re good to go.

The cooler itself stays cold for hours and keeps everything in it nice and cold. It’s big enough to hold the 4 sandwiches and 4 drinks that we take and small enough to not be bulky while carrying. The strap makes carrying it even easier and frees up both of my hands which is nice when you have 2 kids with you.

Overall a very nice little cooler!.

Good size/capacity and I love the bright color. I wish it stayed cool for 12 hours instead of 8 and had another bigger pocket. That would make it perfect. I also like the adjustable strap. Very easy for travel.

I fit three 32 oz and two 16 oz glass jars in the bag along with my pump parts while traveling in the airport to hold breastmilk. I asked the hotel to put it in their freezer the day before we left and had no trouble getting through TSA with it.

Looking forward to using it for car and day trips. Would recommend to a friend!.

I bought this 5 days ago after researching for 2 weeks how to travel with frozen breast milk. We drove to North Carolina with our infant so it took 13hours instead of the usual 9 hours. I heard this cooler was the best at keeping liquids frozen so I followed all of the recommendations plus a bit extra.

First I lined the inside with aluminum foil, then I placed a frozen gel pack at the bottom of the yeti hopper 8 and filled it with as many frozen breast milk bags that I could. I placed another frozen gel pack on the top of the milk bags.

Any gaps were filled with aluminum foil to reduce air. I then closed zipper and taped the zipper to protect from any air flow. After taping the zipper I placed the packed yeti in my freezer for 32 hours prior to driving.

For extra measure I placed the yeti in an igloo cooler and added ice. I placed the yeti cooler in a plastic bag so that it wouldn’t get wet. Let me tell you, we were delayed due to inclement weather but when we arrived at our destination my breast milk was still frozen solid! I highly recommend this cooler for any traveling mother who exclusively feeds their baby breast milk and is afraid to spoil milk.

My only regret is not buying the 12 for more storage. I’m absolutely satisfied.

I have owned a lot of Yeti products, and it is rare that there is a product I don’t like, so it was no surprise that I loved this one too. I have owned my Hopper Flip 18 for a couple years, and absolutely love it.

That cooler was a bit large for keeping in the car for our post hike refreshments, so I opted to get a smaller version. At first I was a little concerned about the size, but it is perfect. Typically after a hike I like to have a couple waters, Gatorades, and some beer for my wife and I.

This cooler fit that perfect, while still being able to hold enough ice to keep things cold for the day. Typically our hikes are at least an hour drive, plus 8+ hours on the trail. So being locked in a hot car for that amount of time, I was not sure the ice would hold.

However, it did perfectly. There have been a ton of reviews about the ice melting before the end of the day, so I am not sure what people are doing. But on an 80+ degree day, locked in the back of a car (obviously hotter) for 9 hours, I still had plenty of ice, with minimal melt.

The photos attached are prior to loading in Jeep, and after we got back from our hike. The ice has barley moved. You just need to remember NOT to put warm beverages in a cooler then toss the ice on. Also Ice is cheep.

No need to only throw a few cubes in. Pile that ice in, and you are good to go.

This doesn’t have a ton of room, it is the size of a standard backpack but with the insullation it takes away a little of that room. I can fit 5 or 6 gatorade or water botles along with some fruit and snacks so it serves my purpose of bringing it to sporting events to supplement the mega money spent on my children in the concession stand.

Don’t get me wrong, we support the c-stand, but I’d need a second mortgage without bringing my cooler backpack. Would recommend.

This is the best choice for a cooler backpack there is available in its price range. I’ve had a couple of these and they are the best for travel and beach. This pack will keep your stuff cold. Pretty much water tight in an upright position.

The top zipper is not water tight but offers easy access. This little cooler does the job of much more expensive packs and keeps your drinks cold.

I bought the titanic deep freeze backpack for a road trip. We drove over 1,000 miles with my backpack and it preformed amazingly. My food and drink were so cold throughout the entire duration. What a luxury it was to eat and drink my own food.

I loved it so much I bought 5 of them for Christmas gifts for family and friends! Such a great product. I highly recommend any Arctic Zone product.

We bought this a couple weeks ago and have taken it out for a couple weekend camping trips. SUPERB quality, and the cooler maintained set temps, as expected and hoped for, in a very hot southwest climate.

We love the removable baskets that allow for easily separating drinks from produce from raw meat, etc. With ample storage space, the cooler can accomodate a variety of items, including large ones. For example, a store bought gallon of water can easily fit in the deeper side of the cooler, with the deep basket separator in place.

Which means you could store multiple gallons of water on that one side of the cooler alone if needed/desired. We also chose Tupperware containers that fit the widths of the baskets to further maximize food storage within the cooler.

Another plus, the lid of the cooler clicks upon close and seems to have a great and reliable seal to keep cold air in. Sustained temps on the digital screen confirmed that. We are looking forward to putting this Dometic cooler to use over multiple trips this summer.

It certainly beats having to purchase several bags of ice for a less expensive cooler, especially when that ice melts and drenches the cooler’s contents. Additionally, we can go for longer trips now without having to worry about the temp of our food.

Hands down, a fantastic purchase with fantastic features. We would buy it again.

We bought this for camping trips in our 4×4 and eventually to add it to our skoolie build. We ran it off of 120v inside for extra food storage for 3 months, took it on 2 weekends and 2 week long trips before it began freezing one compartment regardless of what the temp was set at.

In Moab in the fall, outside temp was 75F, fridge was set at 40, internal temp 12F. Obviously this meant we couldn’t use one compartment on the trip as the fridge was trying too hard to maintain such a low temp.

Apparently this is a problem with thermistors and no support from Dometic. I sat on hold and on online support chats with no one answering and no helpful responses to just order the part. I ended up essentially guessing which part I needed based on YouTube videos and am waiting on it to ship from Australia to the US.

Seems like a $1600 fridge would work longer than a year of light use and you would think a brand as big as Dometic would support their products. I am going to try and repair this one and sell it (at a loss) and buy a better fridge from a more reputable brand.

Super disappointed.

We gave this cooler(we call it “The Beast”)one star so that everyone would look at this review who is seriously considering buying one of these, does so immediately!!! We have all read good reviews and wondered “how can it be that good?” Well The Beast is better than good, it’s GREAT!!! We live on a boat.

We were told by another couple that lives on their boat as well that this “cooler” is really good for when they run out of room in the main fridge and freezer on their boat. Well, we don’t have a fridge, or freezer for that matter on our boat.

Up until now we have been using coolers and ice. LOTS OF ICE! Drain the water…. add more ice, drain the water…add more ice, drain the water…well you get the picture and how much $$$ we spent on ice. Not anymore! Since we plugged this gem in our ice buying days are over.

Now we can even make ice for those occasional chilled adult beverages we like to enjoy while watching the sun go down. We can set the temp to whatever we like and it holds true to that temperature. We can set either side to freezer, or either side to fridge, or both sides freezer, or both sides to fridge.

What ever floats your boat(no pun intended)ok, maybe there was? Anyway, what we are really trying to say here is that we haven’t been able to have ice cream on the boat, ever, for more than the time it takes to eat it, and now we have ice cream for days.

Did I mention that we live in the tropics? The construction The Beast is very strong. It’s like a Yeti on steroids, minus the ice of course! The handles are beefy. The lids have a solid, positive click closure so you know that you closed it every time.

The walls are thick and well insulated. There are LED lights on both ends on the inside that come on when you open the lids. We didn’t realize how nice it is to have lights in a cooler until we do. The removable wire baskets and dividers are nice feature to keep things organized are especially good for cleaning.

Just pull the baskets out, food and all, wipe down the inside, put the baskets back in. There does seem to be a little water that accumulates on the fridge side, probably from opening and closing the lid and the high humidity.

The initial set-up is super easy and the display is easy to see at a glance to make sure that it’s working. The USB charging port is right there next to the temp display. We haven’t used it as the boat already has charging ports all over the place.

I suppose one more never hurts! The vents are at one end and need to be clear of any obstructions. That’s not a problem where it lives on our boat. The power cord plugs in to the end where the vents are located which is the smaller compartment side of the fridge.

That’s the side we use as the freezer. It’s nice that the lids are reversible and can be hinged on the other side. We did not need to change them but if the vents were obstructed by something it is nice to know we can.

We haven’t noticed any loud or excessively noisy motor running like we read in some of the reviews. As a matter of fact it’s as quiet as a mouse, or even a moose for that matter, since we have never actually heard a moose(there aren’t any moose here where we live).

To power The Beast we have it running off of the shore power. Which means that it’s plugged into a heavy duty power strip that’s plugged into a heavy duty 50’ extension cord, that’s plugged into the 110V 50amp AC outlet on the dock.

I’m sure somewhere in the user manual it says not to use extension cords, so don’t try this at home or on a boat. We have lots of other appliances plugged into the same power strip including a portable air conditioner.

The Beast has never once tripped even the breaker on the power strip. We have a little coffee maker that does though. I guess that’s some strong coffee we are making! So all we can take away from that is that the Beast must not draw very much power.

One thing we have not done is tried to use the 12V power cord. That would run solely off of the boat batteries that are only charged up when the Diesel engine is running. We do not have solar panels charging the batteries on the boat as of right now.

When we cast off the dock lines and set sail for Tahiti we will update this review and let you know how that all works. That’s if we are still within range and have WIFI! We would guess that as long as there is a steady power source for The Beast, it will provide us with many pints of B&J ice cream for our movie nights.

One more thing I must add. I’m a fire fighter and Moosejaw recognizes first responders with a great discount. It’s usually just the military that gets recognized for their service to this country which is just and righteous.

Ok, two more things… the shipping was included. The Beast had to travel a long way to get to us. It’s not a small or light package by any means. And it was not on the slow boat either. We had it within a weeks time from when we ordered it.

Just a side note as well…Dometic makes a all in one toilet/holding tank that we bought for he boat a couple of years ago and it also was one of the best purchases we ever made for the boat. It uses fresh water and doesn’t stink up the boat.

The holding tank could be a little bigger, but other than that it works like a charm. Dometic continues to make great products. We didn’t name the toilet…. Thanks Moose Jaw, you guys nailed this one!!!.

Love the material, size, and pockets. I had purchased a similar style to this a while back, and hadn’t seen anything like it until now! So happy to have a larger size option. And this print/color and so so pretty.

It seems well insulated. It is a Christmas gift for my mom, so I haven’t kept anything in it, but I am usually happy with VB items. They are durable and strong. Just wish they were still made in the USA.

This is my second one that I have purchased. I basically bought a second one so that when the first one wears out, I have a backup. I absolutely love it, so many pockets to hold things and the colors are absolutely beautiful! I get so many compliments on it and it’s made very durable! The quality surpasses every other lunch bag I have bought outside of Vera Bradley.

You will LOVE IT!.

I love how big and durable this lunch box is! I can fit my big container, ice pack, hydro flack and coffee tumbler in here with no problem! Easy to clean! I got basic black which is exactly what I was looking for.

I like the idea, that if I need more room I could expand the bottom if needed! So happy I found this and bought it! I pack my lunch everyday so, I’m very happy about this purchase!.

I got this after a cheap Amazon cooler backpack from Amazon leaked on day one. While I didn’t want to spend so much money on an expensive Yeti product, I did want something that actually WORKED and had quality materials that will last at least a few years.

I am really happy with this backpack so far! I mostly use it at the beach and on hiking and camping trips, with plans for some travel and music festivals in the future. I want it to be sturdy enough to hold up hiking, comfortable enough on my shoulders, and actually keep ice and drinks cold for a whole day in peak summer heat.

So far, this thing has performed very well. I took it to the beach yesterday in 100 degree heat with a bunch of drinks and some ice and ice packs, and everything remained very cold. By the time I got home, the ice was still frozen.

I love how you can blow air into this to provide insulation – super easy and very functional. I love that it packs up flat and light for travel.

Overall this backpack cooler is pretty cool. Light weight, the straps are nice and big. Has the buckle across the chest. Easy access to the items inside. I tested it for 3 days. I first added 5lbs of ice with a six pack closed it up and left it for 12 hrs in 75 degree weather ice was still there.

Started using the items inside through out the day. added more drinks as I consumed them. another 12 hrs go by and I cked the situation. Drinks were ice cold. still had ice with some water. Last day i left the pack open over night and into the nx morning and still had some ice in the bag.

With the 5lbs and up to 8 beers in it the bag is not very heavy at all. Planning on using this for different events and looking forward to having it with us when we float the river. See how it holds up.

the top fold seems like it will hold out any intrusions from getting in. The outside of the pack is pretty solid. It rolls up or can fold for ez storage. I like this pack super ez to load and carry. I would think u could add some snacks and drinks for 4 people in this pack with some ice and be good for a full day.

I’ve had this for six years, abuse it regularly, and it keeps going like nothing has happened. In addition to the beach, I float it in the Delaware river water every time my wife and I go tubing – she really likes tubing – after which it often gets left on the deck to dry, unwashed, in the hot sun and forgotten for days.

Nothing. If this bag fell apart I would totally understand, but it doesn’t, so much so I came to write this review. With a small bag of ice it will keep beverages cold in direct hot sun all day long, then longer.

Possibly the most impressive piece of outdoor equipment I’ve owned. Worth every penny. If REI were to be more environmentally conscious they wouldn’t carry this bag because it decays slower than nuclear waste.

I loved this micro fridge; it did exactly what it advertised itself as doing, and the pink one I chose was very cute. I used it for cooling my face masks and serums, and for keeping a can of cat food fresh for a few days.

It came with a very handy shelf so I could easily fit everything inside and keep the cat food separate. Without the shelf, it’s just tall enough for a tall soda can, but too short for a full sized soda bottle.

It does hum when on, but it’s rather quiet—I am very noise sensitive and this buzz didn’t get on my nerves, despite having it in my bedroom for a year. It keeps things nicely cold, even if you don’t follow the instructions and put pre-chilled items inside.

It does accumulate water, and the vents accumulate dust, so I do suggest wiping it down and using canned air on the vents occasionally. Unfortunately, after about a year of continuous use, it very unceremoniously died.

At the price point at purchase (about $40-45), I feel I got my money’s worth, and will definitely be purchasing another micro fridge, but I’m still disappointed that it broke so soon, and might try another brand to save myself the heartache.

Edit: I left it off for a few hours, drained it, and used canned air on the vents and it works again! Even hums less than before. So make sure you give it a deep clean every few months and it’ll work great!.

Love:Size – not too big, not too smallCold – once it’s cold, it stays cold. Quiet – Even the Non-Eco setting, or “normal” is more like a white noise. Not loud. The Eco setting is very quiet. I only use the Eco setting after the fridge is cold.

See below pic of ice path. That is after 1 day of running on Non-Eco, and normal work day of opening and closing for drinks. Meh: I got this to hold drinks my desk. It holds about 12 cans of whatever, but if you put anything else – you see Slimfast in the pic it totally changes.

Ice patch – see pic. I only use this for work, so on Fridays, I don’t refill, and when it’s empty I turn it totally off. In about 5 minutes that patch is a little puddle in the fridge that I wipe down with a paper towel.

No dislikes – None that would be fair to the product. I wish it held more, but I knew it only held 12 cans. Honestly, if you need to hold more, I know there are other options. I haven’t tried it yet, but I like how I can bring it in the car.

I like to leave reviews when I remember – please try to do the same – if you are reading this – you look at the reviews before buying anything. That is the smart thing to do.

This fridge will easily fit 6 regular 12-ounce sized cans perfectly so if that’s your intended purpose, it’s a win! I tried putting jars in it for overnight oats, but only one 8-ounce mason jar will fit (as seen in the picture).

I suppose one or possibly two 16-ounce mason jars might fit in the bottom with the rack removed. I’ve also tried various Tupperware-type containers and had them not work. The fridge really is sized just for cans.

That being said, I have used it in the car to keep soda cold on road trips and have used it while camping (brought a power strip and extension cord to get power into my tent for this and my phone charger), and it worked beautifully! On the camping trip, the temps got quite low overnight and the cans of soda in the top section of the fridge did freeze, so after that, I cycled the fridge power on during the day and off at night for the rest of the week that I camped and that worked perfectly.

Otherwise, I’ve never had problems with it and it has served us well!.

Pros: We live in the southwest, so immediately tested this out in 100-120 degree temps over summer and it held up great. We take it paddleboarding/kayaking and put in the hard and/or soft ice packs with drinks, food and it keeps cold all day.

We’ve also used regular (loose) ice in it which works okay, but the hard/soft packs are more functional and in general keep things colder longer in combination with the cooler itself, plus gives you more room.

Mind you, our use on the water has all been day trips, not multi-day trips. The strap is really handy to secure on a paddleboard, and obviously the cooler is lighterweight than a hard-sided cooler for such water trips.

We’ve also used this just for shopping/keeping leftovers cold/whatever during the southwest summer and sometimes for long-periods of time in our (very hot) vehicle. It has held up well for that purpose too.

It also works great (although it is a bit big) for work lunches if you don’t have access to a fridge. Most of our use with this cooler is for day trips/use. That said, we have also used it for car camping trips and road trips.

The one car camping trip was quite hot, and we put our most-necessary-to-keep-cold items in the Yeti and it kept fine (again, with the solid blue ice packs). Cons: Yes, the zipper is kind of a hassle and that is the biggest con as others have mentioned.

We are careful with the zipper, and that is really my biggest concern re: zipping breaking but no sign of that so far. Of course it is very pricey, so recommend waiting for a REI member coupon or sale (if it goes on sale that is!) As mentioned above, I think this cooler works better w/ice packs versus loose ice, although we’ve also combined the two which works.

All in all, this is our most functional cooler/high-quality. Took us a while to decide to purchase due to the high price, but so far it is holding up well and getting used all the time, so worth the money.

Looks and feels solid, durable, lightweight. I ordered the blue, which looks more blue-green than the photo. I thought they sent the wrong color but it’s just different than the photo (maybe it’s my computer monitor) still super cute color just not quite the shade I expected.

Other than that, it’s perfect, looks retro but has an absolutely updated functionality that keeps your things cool for hours. Spotted this baby on instagram and ordered it right away, pretty sure this is going to sell out.

The pastel colors are fresh and cool.

I bought the Polarbox as a gift. I bought one for myself last year. These ice chests are the cutest things ever! I couldn’t believe I was able to find a store that still carried it. The size is perfect, and the pastel colors rock!!.

This thing is extremely cheap. Cute but a piece of crap. I was expecting a more substantial product. A styrofoam gas station cooler is better than this, save your money and apply it to a Yeti or some other premium cooler.

Holds exactly a 12 pack with some ice. Holds ice like a champ! I own a few premium soft coolers. This one by far performs the best! Just the feel and look shout quality. Would recommend to anyone looking for a soft cooler.

1st time buying a Pelican product. Will buy more!.

Really well ruggedized and holds cold well for shorter trips. Light enough to carry by one person on a longer path. Only slight drawback is the heavy duty zipper, it does not slide open or shut very easily but I guess it only reflects the quality.

This is an excellent cooler. The shape is great for not only drinks, but crock pots and cooking utensils. The cooler is leak proof and has great ice retention as well.

I love this soft-sided cooler. Since it’s soft-sided the walls are thin compared to a plastic cooler, so almost all of its size translates to useable space. Additionally, it has some give to it, so when you’re carrying it against your body with the shoulder strap it’s really comfortable and doesn’t dig in when it’s loaded up.

It’s really nicely designed and attractive too. I have had soft sided coolers before that have a very thin inner liner, and they all ended up leaking, and often quickly and substantially. This cooler has a sturdy thick flexible liner and doesn’t leak a drop.

It’s a huge game-changer since now it can go inside the truck with me rather than the bed because it doesn’t ooze water from melting ice. Speaking of melting ice, you won’t have much because it really keeps it cold.

My one critique is that though it is soft it is collapsible. One of the things I like about a soft cooler is easier storage and ability to stuff into smaller places, but this one does not do that. On the other hand, since it doesn’t collapse it probably won’t develop leaks like others do.

This cooler is definitely going to be making a lot of trips on the boat to the lake this year.

This is a really great cooler option! I am a mom of three, and this cooler comes in so handy for our sports events. Sometimes we’re gone for hours at a time, and packing food/snacks is a great way to save money and eat healthy.

Instead of fast food now I pack lunches, and they stay cold and fresh. I wish I would have started doing this years ago! This cooler is lightweight and still very spacious at the same time, and it comes in a sleek, light green color fabric that wipes off easily.

The interior is lined in a soft light blue color. No worries if there’s a spill because the inside is seem less, and washes up like a gem. The lid opens fully making it very easy to pack and find what you’re looking for quickly.

You can tote this cooler by either using the double handle straps, or the padded shoulder strap, and there’s pocket on the front of the that is perfect for any size cell phone. Using this cooler has saved me so much time and money!.

This cooler is so cool! First of all, this teal color is my favorite color. The material is very sturdy, however, it stains easily. I like that there are two different ways to carry it, on the shoulder with the padded shoulder strap (very comfortable by the way) or the two smaller straps.

The size is perfect to carry around, not too small, not too big. We live using it during groceries as it fits well in the shopping cart. It keeps frozen items cold as it is supposed to and everything is enclosed with a great quality zipper.

With that said, the outside pocket is not necessary as I can’t figure out what to put inside. I think this cooler would be perfect to bring along with you to picnics for two people. Overall, great design, great quality, great size, great color.

I love it!.

I’m a health nut. As a result I take home cooked food to work in various tupperware containers daily. Space needed for (3 water bottles, 2 yeti cups, 6 to 8 Tupperware dishes, snacks, etc). Individual containers for single servings for veggies, meat, fruit, carbs.

I work 16 hours a day so I’m always prepared with my portions. I selected this for work daily due to the size allowing me adequate space & being a backpack not having to have excessive stress on one shoulder carrying my items the distance I walk to my office.

It has been a conversation piece good & bad. The good is others like it and tell me how much beer they’d love to put in it and totally unware Yeti has a backpack. The bad that people that eat out or not focused on health feel it’s overkill.

I’m going on over 2 years using it daily and it still looks and functions as if it’s brand new outside of a few stains. I honestly didn’t expect it to last this long with daily use. On my days off I carry it with me due to it being my cooler/backpack.

It is truly much more rugged than I ever expected. It hasn’t frayed in the least bit. None of the components have failed and it remains standing nice and tall not loosing the contour though it’s not a hard shell.

I’ve not had one issue from the heavy duty zipper after 2 years of use 365 days a year I’ve attached other items to the outside for my personal hygiene and office supplies and it holds and carries very well.

I’m truly impressed and truly satisfied with my purchase.

I bought this cooler as a Christmas gift for my husband. I figured it was the perfect gift to give him that I could steal. Who doesn’t love giving gifts like that? We also love Yeti products and yet to have a cooler so I was super excited! My husband opened the gift and was extremely excited! He unzipped the zipper and talked about how many beers the cooler can hold, how it will be perfect for road trips and tournaments, how excited he was to show it off to the Dad’s in the parking lot before the kids hockey games etc.

As he was talking he pulls out the sticker and the white “lip balm” he mentioned that he had no idea Yeti made lip balm and thought it was a nice gift to offer. He puts it on his lips, having an extremely difficult time applying it says the product is a little thick.

He then puts the cap on and turns the “lip balm” around and reads out loud, Zipper Lubricant. Our entire family had tears running down our faces from laughter. Not only is this cooler amazing, keeping our drinks and items cold for a few days it also made the best Christmas gift with tons of laughter.

Ive had my eye on this cooler for a while and finally found it on Moosejaw! They discontinued it on the yeti site which was a pain and thought I’d buy it on here since I found it in the exact color I wanted.

I’ve used this cooler a few times now and so far it’s been super easy to fill, clean out, and store. It isn’t too heavy and very spacious. I’m able to fit in 6 regular sized cans, some snacks, and my thin yeti ice easily! There’s always room for more.

I’ve been using it for day trips so nothing too heavy. The few times it’s been dirty, the material is easy to rinse off with a hose. The zipper is a bit stiff at first but that’s expected since it has a built in water seal.

They supplied me with zipper lubricant as well which was much appreciated. The shipping was very fast and moosejaw did a great job of keeping me updated on the whole process. Will definitely buy through here again! Two thumbs up from me!.

I bought this cooler to use on the boat. I have only used it once so far, but it did hold ice for 24 hrs. and it was a 95 degree day. I like that the shoulder straps free up your hands so you can carry more stuff (fewer trips back and forth on the dock).

The vertical design is both a blessing and a curse. On the positive, the foot print is smaller which is key on a boat with limited space. The downside, and the only negative I’ve seen yet, is that it is very difficult to find that specific can at the bottom of the column of cans and ice.

We did have it over filled, which did contribute to that issue. I like that the cooler is light weight and collapsible, unlike the overpriced roto molded coolers that have very little capacity and weigh so much they require two people to move.

I feel that the price is a little high for this cooler (as with all high end coolers) but is very reasonable compared to competitors products.

I genuinely love it. My only critique was when I received it, I instantly noticed I felt that it was very cheap made. Maybe it’s because I’ve never owned a smaller ice chest like this, but it instantly seemed cheap made.

But it’s super cute. Super convenient for me.

I purchased a couple of these adorable retro style coolers in two different sizes for my daughter, and she loved them. It is beautifully designed, well made, and the yellow color (with the pink interior) is gorgeous! This 21 quart size would be perfect for a small family picnic or party.

I actually got this for my sons medical supplies! I did try it out as a cooler beforehand and with about half filled with ice the pop inside stayed cold for 4 days! This will be amazing for zoo trips! But for now I am storing my sons medical supplies and glucose reader inside! The plastic container inside helps to keep everything safe and secure so it wont be crushed! I keep a icepack with the medicine and snacks and it stays cool all day! The color is my favorite I love the blue.

The side pockets hold easy access things that need to be grabbed quickly! I will use this for multiple things and our day trips!! Its pretty heavy duty. The strap is perfect! I can throw it over my shoulder and still be able to have my hands free to grab the kids!.

We need a new lunch bag for my husband. It is easier to carry than a traditional lunch bag. It has a soft outside which is able to be cleaned, durable hard plastic liner, two mesh pockets on the outside and one in the inner cover.

It has a double zipper top. A front pocket for keys, pens, cords, etc. The top has two bungy cords to hold other things. The liner seems thicker than the other lunch bag to keeps the food and drinks cold.

It is taller and wider that he’s current one but it works well. We have always valued the Coleman name which has been around for years with quality products.

Super cute and vintage feel, seems to be made of good materials that will last awhile (have only used it once). Holds ice well. Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is the lid does not fasten down which makes it a little tricky to carry over the shoulder if carrying other things as well.

Super cute! Perfect for a small picnic. Keeps food cold for a good amount of time. Especially in this California heat!

I have used the cooler one time and everything worked pretty well. It could keep the temperature cold enough for 2 days. As it is a collapsible cooler, it has a removable waterproof bag inside so you have to be very careful of not damaging it when you clean or store the cooler.

Anyway it is super convenient and easy to store in comparison with other coolers which are bulky hard boxes. Perfect for people who don’t have to much storage place at home.

I have the smaller version of this cooler. Its a fantastic stand up paddle board cooler. Straps down to the front of my sup perfect. I have owned it for 2. 5 years. The bottom doesnt scratch up my boards.

It has not leaked. I have used it on rivers and lakes many times. Opening it up all day to remove beverages as well of my fishing tackle box in freezing temps and plus 90 degrees. The zipper works every time and thats important when your trying to balance.

The cup holder is perfect for a sup fisherwoman.

We bought this new version of the Kelty 45L Folding Cooler to replace our 8 year old exact same model (Kelty) cooler. while we had to say good bye to our old friend, the fishing trips including shipping frozen fish back from Alaska, construction site use, numerous family outings and countless trips to Costco and Sam’s Club… it was finally time to retire it.

The new model is improved with a better liner and insulation, but same great quality and convenience. I have a 45L Yeti, but the Kelty has become our “go to” cooler due to it’s weight, flexible side which give more loading room and very similar performance to the Yeti.

We highly recommend the Kelty Cooler.
