Comments about REI Picnic Cooler:
Man what a great little cooler this is. I take it in my canoe while fishing to keep all my "beverages" nice and frosty. It holds well up to 18-25 cans and about 15 or so bottles easily. And it also has a bottle opener attached to it for when you need to open those pesky "Coca-Cola" bottles. The hard bottom makes it super durable and the shoulder strap is comfy enough to walk a mile or two with out it digging into your shoulder too much. All in all a great buy. A little pricey but you do get what you pay for and more.

Comments about REI Picnic Cooler:
We primarily use this during car trips on weekend jaunts or when we spend the day on the boat on local mountain lakes. Also when grocery shopping on hot days when we need to keep meats, etc. cool before getting them home.
It keeps our Stuff: drinks, lunch, fruit, etc. cool and tastey!
Use at least two ice packs for best performance.
It will serve nicely for picnics. The outer straps to tie down a picnic table cloth will come in handy too.

Comments about REI Picnic Cooler:
We use this cooler almost every weekend in our car for road trips. Not to big but holds a surprising amount of food and drinks. I agree with using frozen "blue ice" or similar as recommended. Another great use is for lunch or snacks while traveling by plane. This cooler fits in the seat in front of you! Easy to carry with the shoulder strap.

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.

Comments about REI Picnic Cooler:
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.
