Insulated Backpack Cooler Bags
A hard-shell or soft-sided backpack cooler bag offers a versatile solution to taking chilled snacks or drinks on mobile pursuits.
A cooler/backpack bag is often split into 2 to 3 sections, with the bottom section featuring a Thermo-Guard insulated cooler, with its ability to store light snacks or soda cans at the ideal temperature for a number of hours. The top-section, with its drawstring or zippered closure offers a convenient space to conceal clothes, towels, sunglasses or similar such essentials. A third, breathable mid-section sometimes features for stowing damp items.
A tasteful backpack styled cooler offers the same appearance as a regular day-to-day backpack – although these bags come divided into multiple sections to offer the vital chilling space. To ensure the upper section remains bone dry, a cooler section is often sheathed within a heat-sealed space, this guarantees a water-resistant lining is present to protect all other possessions.
Popular features to a versatile cooler bag include – comfortable, soft air-mesh or padded shoulder straps, outside pockets for quick access to sunglasses, charts, water bottles, etc, ease in hauling 6 to 12 standard soda cans, and its removable plastic liner offers complete ease in cleaning.
Samfe, Picnic Time, Coleman and Ogio all make a collection of these efficient cooler/backpack bags, constructed in a choice of resilient materials, such a tear-resistant nylon, and polyester-canvas or 600-D polyester.
Camp or outdoor coolers also include such common choices as the lightweight, and easy to carry soft-sided cooler, the high-volume storage chest or trunks for chilled foods or beverages to last 5-days, compact-sized jug coolers at 1 to 5-gallons, with a simple pour/twist faucet. A personal cooler offers a take anywhere, lunch-sized tote, the resilient and UV-treated marine cooler, with its ability to accept large loads, and the thermoelectric coolers as a simple plug-in and go option – ideal for cars, trucks, RVs, etc.
Whether it is for a sports event, picnic, fishing or camp trip, a cooler bag with its divided compartments for snacks, beverages, or clothing items, offers a great backpack for those outdoor pursuits.
