YETI  Sidekick Dry Waterproof Gear Case

I use my Hopper Flip 8 as a lunchbox everyday. It’s a great cooler but there are no extra pockets to store stuff, so I bought the Yeti Sidekick to go with it. It works great, looks great, is easy to attach to the cooler, and gives me plenty of extra storage that the cooler itself lacks. The build quality is like all other Yeti products … overbuilt, sturdy and should last many years. Absolutely no complaints and I plan on getting another one to go with my Yeti Hopper M30.

I bought this as a small water tight container for boating to hold small items such as my wallet, cell phone, boat remote, etc. I clipped it to the railing on our tritoon at the helm. It’s like a stylish water proof glovebox. Perfect for my use of it. I am thinking of buying two more and trying to rig up something similar with them on our kayaks.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this about a month ago and let me tell you it doesn't let you down it keeps things dry and gives me a little more carry room. The magnetic strip is awesome and great idea works wonders and is easy to open and close without the worry of making sure it shut properly. I would highly recommend to anyone with a hopper flip cooler.

I do like the side kick although it is hard to access . Is actually leaks a little . I have photos but couldn’t upload.

I received a Hopper 30 as a Christmas gift. Added the Sidekick right away to hold keys and phone. Since it's cold this time of the year in Minnesota, I decided to try the Hopper in a reverse fashion, eg. to keep things warm. I trim trees and cut firewood at my in-laws farm. I stay out all day in the woods and need something that keeps my water and lunches from freezing. The sled I tow with my snowmobile gets cramped when filled with bulky items such as a plastic cooler, hard sided saw cases and gear box. The soft sided Hopper works perfect. I stuff it with a few 1 and 2 pound Yeti blue ice with my water bottles and lunch. I can wedge it in the sled where needed and it keeps my lunches close to room temperature all day even though it is 10 degrees outside. The zipper even works well when it's below freezing.

The sidekick is the bomb, purchased mine years back when they first came out, they were designed to attach to yeti ice chest but I used mine for wade fishing and it worked great, keeps everything you put in it dry, never leaks. I haved fished in all types of water from the Gulf of Mexico to the Great Lakes and all points in between and it never failed. Now I see many more fishermen using it as well, you’re welcome YETI:)

If you’re on the fence about the Yeti 3L Sidekick, allow me to save you some time: buy it. I took this little beast out paddle boarding in Long Beach and decided to really put it to the test. I’m talking sand, surf, and a level of abuse that would make most bags file a restraining order. First, I chucked it into the sand like it owed me money—zero hesitation. Not a grain inside. Then I tried to drown it. I mean really tried. Held it underwater like I was conducting a forensic investigation on it. Opened it afterward… dry as a dad joke at Thanksgiving. I had my phone, keys, snacks, and even a small towel in there—everything came out like it had just stepped out of a climate-controlled room. The magnetic closure is so satisfying it should come with a warning label for compulsive openers. And it clips perfectly to my paddle board straps like it was born to be there. Honestly, this bag is the Aquaman of pouches. If it ever starts talking to fish, I wouldn’t even be surprised. 10/10. Would abuse again.

Perfect addition to your coolers, caminos, or just for any outdoors use. Love using it as a dry bag on the boat, attaching to my Camino for extra easy access storage. Large enough to hold a size-able wallet plus keys and other necessities.

Attached to backpack cooler for a convenient place to stow my phone and essentials. It’s quite spacious on its own and I end up stowing all sorts of things in it to keep them dry.

I use my Sidekicks for sunblock, chapstick, hand sanitizer, cell phone, and my keys. I have them attached to my soft coolers. They do their job keeping everything dry!
