Igloo Trailmate 12 oz Soft Cooler Bag Bone 00062200 from Igloo

Icemule’s Boss Backpack Cooler is incredibly rugged and has some serious insulation. “The design reminds me of a single big backpack that people use for backpack travel,” igloo soft cooler is how one of our testers put it. Icemule uses proprietary fabrics, welded seams, and extra-padded straps to make this one heavy-duty yet comfortable backpack.

Additionally, give priority to coolers with closed-cell foam insulation over ones that employ other cooling methods. The sensor at the top of the cooler was removed daily to record its findings and simulate the temperature gains that occur when a cooler is opened during normal use.

If you’re ready to ditch the zip for a model that’s both user-friendly and seals, the plastic latch and flip-open lid of the OtterBox Trooper are where it’s at. In an interesting twist, the Arctic Zone Titan Zipperless has neither a zipper nor a roll-top — it’s not even fully sealed. It closes like an old-school hard cooler, with a plastic lid that nestles snugly into the top of its plastic body.

We ran these temperature tests until there was no ice inside the cooler. And, with the variety of storage compartments, you’ll be able to carry everything you need. When you’re ready to store the Arctic Zone Titan Deep Freeze, the interior is treated with Microban, so it will resist mildew and odor-causing bacteria.
