Great backpack

"We use it for Saturdays on the boat and it fits our needs well for a family of three. Our drink stay ice cold and our sandwiches and fruit sit on top of the drinks and ice and stay cool til lunchtime. Being a backpack it frees up my hands to carry other items down the dock and saves me a trip back to the truck."

Keep it Cool

"Only going 4 stars since I have not had the cooler long enough enough. It does seem well built and the short trips that I have used it on the cooler has done well. We shall see how the durability is over time."

Perfect. Already used it to

"Perfect. Already used it to bring some beers and smoked salmon down to the river, and also some venison burgers to the Mountain Loop Highway. This is the best cooler-backpack I have ever used and also seen. Cordova stuff just plain works. The best."

Backpack cooler

"I've used it one time over a weekend. Based on this, it kept drinks cold for the entire day. I used a 4lb Cordova Packice and was able to fit 21 cans. I do like the extra pockets to put keys and wallets in. Rides well on your back even being loaded down. I wouldn't want to on a five mile home with it, though. The handles on the side are great."

Q&A

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What are the benefits of a backpack cooler?

    A backpack cooler offers the ultimate combination of portability and temperature retention, making it an essential gear item for outdoor enthusiasts. Unlike traditional hard-sided coolers, these are designed for mobility and convenience without sacrificing cooling performance.

  • What features should I look for in a backpack cooler?

    When choosing a backpack cooler, you should prioritize features that balance cooling performance with portability and comfort. Look for key specifications including insulation quality, durability, leakproof design and carrying comfort.

  • Are you supposed to put ice in a backpack cooler?

    Yes, you can put ice in a backpack cooler, but the best approach depends on the specific design of your bag and your performance needs. While loose ice provides the most effective cooling, many users opt for reusable ice packs to prevent leaks and manage weight.

  • Can I use a backpack cooler as a carry-on?

    Yes, you can use a backpack cooler as a carry-on bag, provided it meets your airline’s standard size requirements for overhead bins or under-seat storage. Using a soft-sided cooler as travel luggage is a highly efficient way to save space while ensuring you have a functional cooler available at your destination.

  • What to put in a cooler backpack?

    When packing a cooler backpack, the key is to layer items based on durability and accessibility. To maximize space and keep food fresh, follow this structure:

    • The Base Layer: Place sturdy, heavy items at the bottom of the bag. These should be the foods you do not need to access immediately, such as meats, cheeses, and pre-prepared picnic meals or hearty breads.
    • The Cooling Layer: Once the base items are packed, cover them with a layer of ice or reusable ice packs. This ensures that the most perishable items remain at a consistent, cold temperature.
    • The Top Layer: Reserve the top of the backpack for lighter, fragile snacks or items you plan to consume first.
