I love the idea of carrying as a backpack versus pulling a cooler. There is also a handle on top to carry it as well. It was perfect for an overnight hockey tournament! My grandson was all excited about packing it & carrying it. So much easier than dragging cooler in slush/snow! The only thing I’m a little nervous about is the zippers. They are a little stiff and I’m worried about them coming apart. There is a silicone tube provided to use on zippers for that purpose! Also great thought for for pouches & mesh pockets for items on each side. Overall highly recommend!

This is a surprisingly well designed cooler and is much more comfortable to carry than I originally thought. The interior insulation is very thick and preserves temperatures well. I used this when travelling across states. Even in the warm temperatures of Florida the contents remained cold with no leaks and ice took quite a while before beginning to melt. The zippers are of a solid build, so solid they take more than a typical zipper's force to operate. The included tube of zipper grease eliminates most of the friction, but you would expect a strong zipper to ensure a proper and effective seal. As far as comfort, the padding on the straps is more than adequate for lengthy journeys, but hiking in rough terrain where a backpack may move around a lot will still cause discomfort over time. The padding on the back is more than comfortable for basic use. The mesh side pockets are tight enough to prevent unintentional loss of contents, but soft enough to prevent irritation or damage to any contents. Overall this is a solid cooler with the added benefit of easy transport. You do have to be mindful of content, because it can get heavy fast, but for a handsfree walk to setup on the beach, this is a solid choice.

I received the gray cooler and absolutely love it! It’s well made, has 2 zippered pockets on the front of cooler, 2 pockets on each side that you can slide your cell and small items into, an attached bottle opener and plenty of space inside. I put 3 ice packs in the cooler with 9 cans of soft drinks and left it for 2 days. While the ice packs had thawed out, they were still cold as well as the cans. It’s well insulated and there was no moisture inside the cooler. My husband put the cooler on his back and said with 9 cans and the ice packs, it did have some weight. It was comfortable on his back and well cushioned. I don’t think I would put 24 cans with ice in it unless I added everything once I got to my social function with it as it would be too heavy to put on your back. I did have some trouble with the top zipper even after putting the lubricant on it that came with the cooler. The 2 side pockets need to have some more flexibility and be wider so you can put more in them without ripping pockets. All in all, I was very happy with this cooler, would recommend to friends and feel it would make a great gift for anyone, especially people that hike!

I used this backpack cooler at a Family Gathering. I love that it keeps everything very cold. It comes with a tube of lubricant to use on the seals and zippers. You will want to use it. The zippers are very stiff at first. I did find it easier for me to carry it by the handles when full, instead of wearing it as a backpack. The length of it was just a bit too long for my short stature. Overall good product and I would recommend it.

This cooler is very sturdy material and a nice color. The backpack straps fit very comfortably and help offset weight when filled with ice and beverages. There are numerous outside pockets for snacks, phone, first-aide, etc. The main zipper is difficult to open, but the backpack comes with zipper lubricant. Otherwise, this would be a 5 star product!

I recently got this cooler prior to a five day hunting trip in souther Georgia and the cooler performed flawlessly throughout the duration of the trip. The cooler kept refreshments ice cold all day long and the ice in the cooler kept for as long as needed. The backpack was comfortable to where when needed but was heavy when fully loaded. The material washed up very nice upon returning home after the trip.

This backpack cooler is so heavy duty and amazing! There is so much attention to detail. I love the fact that the zippers are very sturdy and will clearly keep everything in well. This fits so much stuff and has several pockets! I love that it’s waterproof & will keep liquids from getting out/in. My family will definitely love using this at the beach and lake.

This cooler is very spacious. It will hold a lot of stuff. The "easy slide" zippers are not that "easy" but I am hopeful they will improve with use. The outside covering has a bit of texture that should be easy to clean. I marked it 4/5 stars due to the rigidity. If completely full, I imagine this will not be very comfortable to carry.

Wonderful cooler/backpack. Took to party and items stayed cool for hours. No leaks. Love the light blue color. Easy to carry. Only drawback. The zipper is hard to open and close but maybe because new. Does come with lubricant. Hopefully that helps make it better.

This cooler is so cute and STURDY. It cools and keeps cool wonderfully. I placed an ice pack in and left it for over twelve hours and it was still cold! The blue color is gorgeous and I love that the zipper has an extra seal around it to help keep contents cool inside. Carries well on your back without worrying about the material bending. This will definitely become a staple for those hot ball games and camping.
