Know before you buy
While ice retention varies based on ambient temperature and how often you open the lid, the 2 inches of closed-cell foam insulation is designed to keep contents cold for multiple days in typical outdoor conditions.
No, the exterior pocket is designed for dry storage only. While the main cooler compartment is fully waterproof, the outer pocket is not intended to hold ice or liquids.
The zipper is airtight and heavy-duty, so it may feel slightly stiff when new. Keeping the tracks clean of debris and occasionally applying a zipper lubricant will ensure it continues to open and close smoothly.
You can clean the interior with mild soap and water. Because the liner is antimicrobial and mold-resistant, it is easy to wipe down, but you should always leave the lid open to air dry completely before storing the cooler.
Yes, its soft-sided design makes it more flexible than a hard cooler, though you should check your airline's specific dimensions for carry-on luggage. Keep in mind that it must be completely empty of ice and water to pass through security.
