        Comments about REI Picnic Cooler:

        We use this ALL the time, and love it! Before I bought one I put 2 gallons of water inside to see if it would leak. 3 Hrs later there was NO trace of permeability, so I bought it right then. Lunch for three with beers fit in here nicely. The three side pocket hold dry snacks or utensils, while the mesh bag inside the lid is a nice place to stash those things you dont want to accidently get wet. Let's face it every cooler gets soaked. The bottle open on a leash is GENIUS!! You'll never be in need to open up a beverage when thirst call you!

            Comments about REI Picnic Cooler:

            I got these as groomsmen gifts and ended up getting one for myself too. They are great coolers for picnics or tailgating. The over the shoulder strap is really nice. I carried one full of beers around a tailgate all day and wasn't too sore the next day. It has a lot of handy pockets to store lighters, napkins, etc. and it collapses when you're not using it so it doesn't take up as much room in a closet.

            From what I can tell my groomsmen really liked them too.

            Comments about REI Picnic Cooler:

            I purchased this small cooler to use as my lunch box for work. I need something that will stay cool with miminal ice, several storage pockets on outside and durable. For me, this is the perfect bag. I've had it almost 2 years and have used it in many differient ways. It's great for the motorcycle, providing plenty of room for a nice picnic for two.

            I love this cooler. I have used it mainly for the beach and outdoor concerts. Good size. Fairly roomy for day picnic and a good size for carrying comfortably. My only con is the colors. I have the older more muted blue one. All the other colors are too bright. New ones are even brighter. What is this, 1986? I have never seen the grey color shown in the product video in stores. I like the grey one. How about black? Can't lose with black.

              This is a great, well made product, with enough pockets to replace a beach bag (pockets have room for a book, sun block, phone, keys, wallet, etc). Keeps your lunch and drinks cold, with enough room for snacks too.

              Overall I am very happy with the product, but I wish it were a few cm higher to more easily hold a wine bottle. Also it feels like it shouldn't be packed with too heavy items (like bottles) as the base part seems to bend.

                I use this daily for my lunch and for weekend day trips with my wife and son. When I guide professional trips I keep cold drinks and energy bars in it for the apres-adventure. Though I wouldn't say there's enough room for a full-size 2-person picnic in it, it keeps what you do put in there suprisingly cold for most of the day. Lightweight, several pockets, and even a bottle opener!
