Great cooler for weekend adventures!
Great soft sided cooler! Fits 36+ cans (12oz) plus ice. 10lb bag of ice kept contents cold for 4 days (high 30s for temp inside cooler) before all the ice melted (outside temps in 60s). All of my soft sided coolers end up leaking, but not this one! There was no leakage when the ice melted! It also has a hard top, which is nice for packing the car and at campsite to put stuff on! The inside is removable, so easy to clean! This cooler is a nice size, still fits easily in trunk of Honda Civic or backseat. As for cooler size, perfect for a long weekend. Will be using lots for weekend adventures! Maybe next phase make them in fun, bright colors ;)
Car Camping and Tailgating
Brought this new cooler on a couple of day trips around town to the zoo and children's museum, followed by a spring break trip. Overall, the cooler is very well insulated and kept ice for greater than 24 hours in 60-70 degree weather. For trips where the cooler will stay entirely in the car, however, it is actually too large to fit on the floor of our SUV's second row. It had to actually either go on a seat or in the trunk, limiting its accessibility while the car is in motion. At the hotel, it worked well out on the balcony or down at the pool, but again, its size is very noticeable. It again kept everything cold and the cooler lid is stable enough to serve as a small table, but it is awkward to carry. It is very light due to the soft design yet almost feels like it should have wheels from its size. Overall, this won't become our standard cooler for summer outings. It seems best suited for a tailgating weekend or a camping trip where everything would be right next to the car. I can't imagine taking this cooler far away from the car on either of those trips.
NOT Waterproof
Packed it up and set out in a 2-day car trip. It was sitting upright in the car for about 36 hours. Unfortunately, when we unpacked, we found that the inner liner had leaked, leaked through the outer shell, and soaked the seat. This was a fast return.
Half the price of a yeti
Wanted a soft sided cooler. Yeti is just too expensive. Haven’t had a chance to try it out, but I think it’ll do a good job.
