Why trust southern living.

Southern Living / Eric Brockob

If you don’t want to invest in a hard-sided cooler , or maybe you need something more compact for on-the-go use, a cooler bag is a great choice. They come in numerous styles and designs and allow you to carry them like a tote, shoulder bag, or backpack. “Soft coolers offer more portability and are typically more comfortable to carry on the go,” says Hannah Mara , vice president of product management for YETI. Cooler bags give you more space while road tripping, but also allow you to still remain mobile while camping, hiking, and spending time on the water. “Soft coolers tend to weigh less, have more flexibility, and are easier for individuals to manage on their own,” says Mara. 

To compile this list, we took factors like ice retention, size, capacity, weight, and carrying style into consideration, even testing several of the options on this list over several weeks. We realize that some consumers want a larger cooler bag than can carry as many cans as possible, while others need a simple design that will keep a six-pack cold for hours, so you’ll find a variety of cooler bags on our list. Mara also weighed in with expert insight on what to look for in a cooler bag. 

Best Overall Cooler Bag

Rtic insulated soft cooler bag.

Ice retention rivals more expensive options

Durable outer shell and tear-resistant liner

Smooth, leakproof zipper

Floats in water

Zipper can be hard to pull

Lightweight, durable, affordable, and leakproof, RTIC’s Soft Pack Cooler has it all. It comes in 12-, 20-, 30-, and 40-can sizes, so you’re sure to find a size to accommodate your needs. It’s made with a heavy-duty nylon outer shell that works well on sand, the trail, or any terrain you may encounter. And 2 inches of closed-cell foam on the inside combined with a puncture and tear-resistant liner keeps drinks and food cold for up to 24 hours, all with no leaks. When we we filled both this cooler and the YETI Hopper with ice and left them in a covered area for four hours, the ice in both coolers remained mostly solid, and there was no discernible difference between the two.

A bonus feature we love? The cooler floats, so your drinks and food can join you in the lake or pool. Plus, the leakproof zipper keeps liquids sealed inside, although it can require some effort to unzip (although it was still smoother than the Hopper's zipper) . The wide opening also makes the cooler easy to pack and unpack. It also comes with a removable carrying strap and a zippered pocket on the front. Use it for road trips, camping, beach days, lunches, and more. Numerous colors and patterns are available. 

Style: Tote/shoulder strap | Capacity: 12, 20, 30, or 40 cans | Dimensions: Varies | Weight: Varies | Ice Retention: 24 hours

Best Budget Cooler Bag

Coleman chiller soft-sided portable cooler.

Holds up to 30 cans

Includes several pockets for storing ice packs and other essentials

Removable plastic insert for easy cleaning

Ice retention is less than most cooler bags on our list

Only comes in two colors

If you don’t plan on using your cooler bag every weekend, this choice from Coleman is great for the price. It can keep your drinks cold for 12 hours or more and will hold 30 standard cans. 

We liked the removable plastic liner that helps to protect the contents of the cooler and makes cleanup a breeze in the event of a spill. The elastic bands along the top of the cooler are great for securing paper plates and other items you don't want to jam into a cooler bag.

There’s a main zippered compartment that opens up wide and zippered front and inside mesh pockets for storing ice packs and other essentials. The welded seams also ensure the cooler is completely leakproof. We did notice some loose threads along the seams, but the seams themselves still felt secure.

If you prefer a smaller bag for lunches or short trips, the Chiller also comes in a 9-can size and a 16-can size . Carry it by the side handles or use the adjustable strap, which allows you to transport the cooler more comfortably when it’s full. As of right now, it’s only available in blue and black, so we would like to see more colors available in the future. 

Style: Shoulder bag | Capacity: 30 cans | Dimensions: 13 x 13.2 x 11 inches | Weight: 2.2 pounds | Ice Retention: 12 hours

Best Backpack Cooler

Hydroflask soft backpack cooler.

Includes backpack straps for comfortable carrying

Stands unsupported on its own

Tough polyester shell that's lightweight and waterproof

The top opening is a bit narrow

For a hands-free way to haul drinks and snacks from your car to the beach , a backpack cooler is a great choice. We love HydroFlask’s 20-liter backpack cooler for numerous reasons. First, it keeps things cold for 36 hours—longer than most other cooler bags on this list. It will also hold 36 cans without ice, and the padded mesh back and straps add comfort when carrying. The backpack’s exterior is a tough polyester shell that’s lightweight but also waterproof, and the watertight zipper keeps water out and helps prevent leaks. 

Loops on the sides of the backpacks allow you to attach gear and accessories to the cooler to free up your hands, and the sternum strap and carry handles help you out in case you’re trekking the cooler a long distance. The backpack will stand unsupported on its own, which helps when you’re trying to load it down with drinks and snacks. Two colors are available, and the entire backpack is made from BPA-free materials. 

Style: Backpack | Capacity: 36 cans | Dimensions: 18.1 x 18.5 x 8.5 inches | Weight: 2.6 pounds | Ice Retention: 36 hours

Best Cooler Tote

Orca walker tote.

Includes magnetic split handle and a shoulder strap

Holds 18 cans or multiple wine bottles

RF welding and tough outer materials for moisture protection

Small compared to other bags on our list

A bit of a smaller option on this list, we still love the Walker Tote from ORCA for numerous reasons. It holds up to 18 cans or multiple wine bottles (standing upright). It also comes with a comfortable, padded shoulder strap for hands-free carrying or a split handle that magnetically sticks together if you want to carry it by hand. Waterproof inner and front pockets allow you to stow your keys, phone, wallet, and other belongings inside and away from water, and the tough bottom pad adds extra strength and protection. 

The Walker Tote has insulated inner walls that keep things cold for 24 hours, and the tough outer material, coupled with RF welding (the same used for whitewater crafts), provides added moisture protection. And the top zipper, while not a wraparound zipper, still opens up wide for easy access to drinks and snacks. Take it to the beach, a barbecue, or on a picnic for ice cold drinks all day long. Four different color options are available. 

Style: Tote | Capacity: 18 cans | Dimensions: 15.3 x 15 x 9.5 inches | Weight: 3.6 pounds | Ice Retention: 24 hours

Best Beach Cooler Bag

Orca walker 20-can soft cooler.

Wraparound, waterproof zipper

Tough outer shell

Comes with bungee straps, D-rings, and loops

Zipper can be tough to open

The Walker 20 holds 20 cans and comes with magnetic split handles and a padded shoulder strap, like the Walker Tote. It also has the tough bottom skid pad, welded construction, and insulated walls that hold ice for about 24 hours.

We chose this one as the best beach pick because of the durable outer shell that holds its own against sand and the waterproof zipper that keeps moisture out. This zipper is a wraparound zipper too, making it easier to access cans and food within. The Walker 20 also has an added bungee strap to easily connect it to your canoe or kayak, plus D-rings and loops to clip on accessories and your keys. The cooler is BPA-free, food safe, and can hold up to 50 pounds of weight. Four color options are available. 

Style: Shoulder bag/tote | Capacity: 20 cans | Dimensions : 13.3 x 14.5 x 11 inches | Weight: 3.6 pounds | Ice Retention: 24 hours

Best Collapsible Cooler Bag

Rei co-op pack-away 24 soft cooler.

Folds down flat when not in use

Adjustable shoulder strap

Wide opening for easy filling

Condensation can accumulate on the liner of the bag

Trying to save space in your car while traveling? We love this collapsible choice from REI, as it folds down flat when you don’t need it. When you’re ready to add your beverages, just use the side clips to expand it to hold up to 24 cans with ice. The top zipper opens wide for easy filling, and the seam-sealed liner is leakproof and easy to clean. The exterior shell is made from polyester that stands up to the outdoors, and an abrasion-resistant, recycled nylon material helps prevent wear and tear, too. Carry it by the attached straps or the padded, adjustable shoulder strap to free up your hands. An added outer pocket includes a key ring to store your car keys, and daisy chains allow you to attach accessories and gear. REI uses recycled materials for this cooler bag for a touch of sustainability. 

Style: Shoulder bag/tote | Capacity: 24 cans | Dimensions: 15 x 11 x 10 inches | Weight: 1.8 pounds | Ice Retention: 32 hours

Best Waterproof Cooler Bag

Icemule classic collapsible backpack cooler.

Comes with a backpack strap for hands-free carrying

Zipperless, roll-top closure keeps water out

There isn’t a lot of structure to the bag

Designed like a dry bag with a roll-top closure, this cooler bag from IceMule is made with welded (not sewn) seams that keep water out. It’s also zipperless, so once the cooler bag is full, simply roll the top down over itself, then secure the buckles together to keep the bag closed. This bag also floats, a win in case you drop it in the water. 

An included air valve allows you to add air into the cooler to help with insulation and floatability, or take air out to make more room in the cooler if needed. When you’re not using the cooler, it lays flat or rolls up for easy storage. It comes with a backpack-style strap, so you can sling it over your shoulder and go hands-free, and the tough exterior shell holds up at the beach, lake, or on the trail. Interior insulation helps ice hold for 24 hours, and numerous color options are available, as well as multiple sizes.

Style: Backpack | Capacity: 12, 16, or 20 cans | Dimensions: 22 x 9 x 9 inches; 22 x 10.3 x 10.3 inches; or 22 x 11.5 x 11.5 inches | Weight: 1.6, 1.8, or 2.1 pounds | Ice Retention: 24 hours

Best Cooler Bag for Lunches

Yeti lunch box.

Insulated interior keeps food cold for hours

Wraparound zipper and magnetic closure

Leakproof lining

Available in over a dozen colors

Pricey for a lunch bag

It might seem simple in design, but the YETI Daytrip Lunch Box is great to have on hand for lunches or a few hours at the pool. It has a wraparound zipper and a magnetic closure to help keep the cold in, so your food stays fresh for longer. 

Closed-cell foam insulation also keeps things cold, and a water-resistant exterior protects from splashes. The interior liner is also leakproof, so if the contents accidentally spill inside, you won’t have to worry about them leaking through to the exterior. Simply wipe it clean and you’re good to go. All materials used inside are food safe, so rest easy knowing your fruits, veggies, and other items are safe. Plus, it’s available in 17 vibrant colors, including Alpine Yellow, Nordic Purple, and more. 

Style: Lunch box | Capacity: 5 cans | Dimensions: 4.6 x 10.7 x 8.7 inches | Weight: 1 pound | Ice Retention: Hours (not specified)

Best Cooler Bag for Groceries

Nook theory insulated grocery bag.

Can keep over 30 pounds of groceries cool for six hours

Foldable when not in use

Two side pockets for organization

No key loops or interior pockets

Designed for use as a grocery store bag, Nook Theory’s insulated bag can hold over 30 pounds of groceries and will keep cool for around six hours in case you need to run some errands after grocery shopping. The bag has a sturdy base to help you organize its contents, and it’s foldable so you can store it easily when not in use. Grab a few of them to store in the car to make grocery shopping a breeze (and feel better knowing you’re not using single-use plastic bags). 

The exterior is made of a scratch-resistant canvas material that comes in lots of colors, and the interior is made with thermal foam that is leakproof and designed to keep things cold for hours. There are two side pockets as well, which also help with organization and a bit of added space. The front and back handles are long enough to use the bag as a tote, or throw it over your shoulder as a shoulder bag. 

Style: Tote | Capacity: 40 cans | Dimensions: 13 x 16 x 9 inches | Weight: 12 ounces | Ice Retention: 6 hours

Best Cooler Bag for Wine

Tirrinia 2-bottle wine carrier.

Tall enough to accommodate four standard wine bottles

Comes with dividers to keep the bottles from breaking

Elastic strap inside the lid holds a wine bottle opener

No external pockets

Not the longest ice retention

Lots of cooler bags aren’t tall enough for bottles of wine, but this one is made specifically to cart your wine to parties, the lake, a picnic, and more. It will hold four standard wine bottles, and comes with a divider to keep the bottles separated and prevent them from bumping into each other and possibly breaking. You can also take the divider out and use the bag to store other items if you wish. 

The interior is made with thermal foam, which not only protects your wine bottles, but insulates the cooler to keep wine chilled (for about three hours in our experience). It’s also leakproof, so you don’t have to worry about any leakage while on the go. Carry it by the top handle, or attach the shoulder strap and carry it over your shoulder. An elastic strap inside the lid holds a wine bottle opener for when it’s time to get the party started. 

Style: Shoulder bag | Capacity : 4 wine bottles or 15 cans | Dimensions: 13.5 x 8 x 7 inches | Weight: 1.3 pounds | Ice Retention: Hours (not specified)

Best Cooler Bag for Cans

Yeti hopper flip.

Keeps cans cold all day

Leakproof zipper

Tough outer shell holds up to punctures and UV rays

Detachable shoulder strap frees up your hands

The zipper is hard to pull

You always want your canned beverages as cold as possible, and the Hopper will keep them ice cold all day, depending on weather and how often the cooler is being left open. The Hopper comes with ColdCell insulation, a closed-cell foam that keeps food and beverages cold for much longer than standard cooler bags. “I’ve brought my Hopper Flip to the pool and the beach for up to eight hours, and it’s always kept canned drinks chilled the entire time,” says Melanie Fincher, Southern Living commerce editor. 

It’s also leakproof with a HydroLok zipper that keeps the cold in, although it does require you to pull pretty hard to get it all the way around the opening. The outer fabric is made to hold up against punctures and UV rays, and the exterior shell is waterproof, so it will hold up for days spent camping, at the beach, and more. Carry it by the side handles, top handle, or the detachable shoulder strap if you need to free up your hands. The Hopper Flip also has front and back hitch points, making it easy for you to attach your keys, carabiners, bottle openers, and more. In addition to the 12-can size, it’s also available in 8-can and 18-can versions. 

Style: Shoulder bag | Capacity: 24 cans | Dimensions: 12 x 14.3 x 10.7 inches | Weight: 3 pounds | Ice Retention: Days (not specified)

Best Compact Cooler Bag

Mountainsmith the sixer cooler bag.

Can accommodate six cans, six bottles, or two growlers

Compact design

Internal mesh storage pocket and front and back stash pockets

Canvas exterior isn’t as durable as other materials

If you don’t need a large cooler and are just trying to keep a six pack cold, the Mountainsmith Sixer is great, as it doesn’t take up a lot of room and snugly holds six cans, six bottles, or two growlers. We love that the height of this bag can accommodate growlers, and the internal mesh storage pocket provides organization for keys, credit cards, and more. It also has front and back stash pockets, too, for even more storage. You can carry the cooler bag by the dual-rope handle, or attach the shoulder strap and carry it that way. 

A waterproof, seam-sealed liner prevents leaks and is easy to clean in case there’s a spill, and foam insulation keeps your drinks ice cold. The opening is a wraparound zipper that makes it easy to access. The bag is available in three neutral color options.

Style: Shoulder bag | Capacity: 12 cans | Dimensions: 11 x 11 x 6 inches | Weight: 1.1 pounds | Ice Retention: Not listed

Best Large-Capacity Cooler Bag

Engel heavy-duty soft sided cooler bag.

Holds up to 48 cans

Welded construction keeps items cold for days

Padded shoulder strap

The zipper requires lubrication

You won’t find any stitching here, as this cooler bag from Engel is welded rather than sewn together, meaning there’ll be no air or water leaks. The welded build also helps keep the interior colder for longer, as no air can escape or penetrate the bag. This means that the cooler bag should keep contents—up to 48 cans with ice—cold for around three to four days in 90-degree weather. 

The cooler does open by a zipper at the top, but it requires lubrication for best function, as it’s also designed to be water and air resistant. Closed-cell foam insulation on the inside also helps keep things extra cold, and the tough outer shell is resistant to punctures and abrasions. An added layer of thermal plastic urethane film on the front and back also helps with puncture-resistance, too. 

Carry it by the tote handles or with the attached padded strap. And be sure to take advantage of the attached bottle opener, a perk when camping, paddling, or hiking. Due to new, patent-pending vacuum valve technology, it’s recommended that customers use a vacuum to suck out excess air before the first time using the cooler for best performance. 

Style: Tote | Capacity: 48 cans | Dimensions: 17 x 20.5 x 9.5 inches | Weight: 5.3 pounds | Ice Retention: 3-4 days

Most Stylish Cooler Bag

Business & pleasure co. premium cooler bag.

Vintage-inspired design with leather accents

Can hold two bottles of wine or 12 standard cans

Three exterior pockets

Fabric exterior is hard to keep clean

Pack a lunch, two bottles of wine, or 12 standard cans in this fun cooler bag that works well for short day trips. The attached handles come with a leather covering and metal snaps to keep the handles together, or you can use the adjustable shoulder strap that clips on and off for hands-free carrying. The shoulder strap even comes with a sewn-on leather piece for an elevated look. The interior of the bag is not only leakproof and easy to wipe clean, but also has a fun, floral pattern that adds a pop of color. If you want to keep your contents extra cold, you can purchase the additional Business & Pleasure Co. ice pack that fits inside the cooler bag. The exterior comes in both a navy stripe design and a yellow stripe design, although keep in mind that the fabric is spot-clean only. Three exterior pockets give you added space for your belongings, and the wraparound zipper makes it super easy to grab what you need from the cooler. 

Style: Shoulder bag | Capacity: 12 cans | Dimensions: 8 x 12.5 x 8.5 inches | Weight: 1.7 pounds | Ice Retention: Hours (not specified)

We love the RTIC Soft Pack Cooler because it’s affordable, leakproof, durable, and comes in multiple sizes to suit different needs. The ice retention rivaled much more expensive coolers in our testing, and the wraparound zipper keeps the cold inside. For a budget-friendly option, Coleman Chiller Soft-Sided Portable Cooler is very spacious and comes with multiple pockets for storing extras. Plus, it can retain ice for 12 hours, which should be more than enough for a picnic or beach day, and we loved the removable inner bin that makes cleanup a breeze.

Tips for Choosing the Right Cooler Bag

Size and capacity.

Whether you're toting just a few bottles of wine or a six-pack, or drinks for a crowd, you’ll want to consider what your cooler bag can handle when purchasing. The last thing you want is to be lugging around a huge cooler bag that you won’t even fill all the way up, or vice versa: having a cooler bag that’s too small for all the drinks and snacks you need. 

Destination

Consider where you’re going to be using the cooler bag, as weather can play a huge role in ice retention. If you’re going to the lake or beach on a hot day, you’ll want a cooler bag with great ice retention that’ll keep your drinks cold all day long. You’ll also want to consider the bag’s exterior as well to make sure it can hold up to sand, water, dirt, and mud you might encounter. 

Carrying Options

Cooler bags often come with either a top handle, a shoulder strap, backpack straps, or a combination. If you’ll be carrying your cooler bag with other equipment, like beach equipment or camping chairs, consider a backpack cooler bag or even one that comes with a shoulder strap. If you aren’t going too far, or are using a small cooler bag, you might be able to get away with a tote-style bag that you can carry by hand. 

Do soft cooler bags work as well as hard-sided coolers? 

Soft-sided cooler bags and hard-sided coolers work in the same way. They provide insulation to keep ice from melting and a sealed top to keep hot air out. Cooler bags will have a leakproof zipper a lot of times, while a hardside cooler will have a sealed top. Either way, the cooler is supposed to keep ice from melting and keep drinks and food cold. 

How do you care for a cooler bag?

Always check to see if there are specific cleaning and care instructions that come with your cooler bag, and abide by those. If there are no instructions, simply wiping out the interior with a cleaning wipe or paper towels and an antibacterial cleaning spray will work. Depending on the materials used on the exterior of your cooler, you can possibly clean the outside with soap and water and then rinse them off and let them air dry. 

What should not be stored in a cooler bag?

Be careful when storing glass bottles in a cooler bag that doesn’t have padded dividers specifically for glass bottles. The glass can clink together and break in the bag without padded dividers. (Fortunately, our favorite cooler bag for wine, the Tirrinia 4-Bottle Wine Carrier , does come with dividers to prevent this.) It’s also recommended to clean out the cooler bag when you’re done using it, as leaving liquids and food inside the bag will make it grow mold quickly. We also don’t recommend storing anything super smelly, like fish, inside your cooler bag, as the insulation can lock in that smell and it can be hard to get rid of. 

Amanda Ogle is a freelance writer and editor with seven years of experience covering food and drink, travel, and general lifestyle topics. For this list, we researched different types of coolers and tested several of the options on our list over several weeks, considering factors such as style, capacity, size, ice retention, and portability. For expert insight, Amanda consulted with Hannah Mara, vice president of product management for YETI.

Yeti's new cooler is the lunch bag you never knew you needed — here's why it's worth $80

When you buy through our links, Business Insider may earn an affiliate commission. Learn more

  • You might think that Yeti's new Daytrip cooler ($80) comes with a steep price tag for what is essentially a lunch bag, but there is something to be said for higher-priced items that last.
  • I dragged, dropped, and tossed the Yeti Daytrip through mud, blood (of fish), beer, and more, and it's still shining.
  • I'd consider this cooler a practical expense for most people who take their lunch to work or stroll out with a six-pack from time to time, but it also holds up for long days on a boat in the beating sun.

Insider Today

We all know Yeti for the brand's signature grizzly-bear-proof coolers , if not the decal stickers adorning nearly every pickup truck from the Redwood Forests to the Gulf Stream waters. Now, they're making an almost indestructible lunch bag. Though, in all fairness, I don't think it'd hold up all that well to a grizzly.

Remember those coolers from back in the school days with packing foam for insulation and cheap liners that began de-laminating after the first spill of something sticky? The Daytrip is not that lunch bag.

If you own, or have ever held any of the brand's soft bags like the Camino , you'll have an idea of the construction of the Daytrip . To be blunt, even at the cost of sounding trite (and morbid): It'll outlive you. 

This is a lunch bag and there's nothing truly technical about it. Apart from the magnetic "Thermo Snap" seal, it's just some very high-quality materials designed and put together smartly. A waterproof outer lining and heavy-duty nylon straps, together with a food-safe inner lining and foam insulation, make this a rugged bag for things both hot and cold.

If you really want to keep it cold, you'll probably want an ice pack or two. I haven't used one yet, but the two-pound, quick-freezing Yeti Ice seems to be the favored ice pack of choice among early users and reviewers of the Daytrip , and seeing as how it fits perfectly inside the bag, it makes sense. That said, I just stuck in a couple of small ice packs I'd gotten from a delivery box and they worked just fine.

My field notes

This particular Daytrip saw everything from mud to blood and beer, with not a stain. It didn't keep things cold for as long as I'd want it to, and in hindsight, I decided cooler packs would have been a good idea. I use them now and it makes all the difference, though you still might not get freezing cold temperatures.

As an experiment to see how cold the Daytrip would get, and stay, I sent a friend home with a couple of pints of ice cream surrounded with cheap ice packs and by the time they got home from a 30-minute subway ride, they were desperately rushing to their freezer to salvage it. But I would hardly call that a flaw; I've tried to keep ice cream in many other coolers, including the Yeti Tundra, and I've never been able to keep it fully frozen.

Otherwise, without any ice or ice packs, bottled beverages stayed cold for a few hours and still cool for a while after that, which is not bad at all for a little lunch box.

And, as you get on in the day, there are several loops for the little metal buckle so that you can compress it as you remove and consume its contents, which is great for hiking or being on the move. And once it's empty, at which point it only weighs all of 1.1 pounds, you can stuff it into a backpack or shoulder bag with relative ease and forget about it.

Over the course of five years or so, how many lunch bags would you throw out, either due to separation at the seams, a de-laminated lining, or an insurmountable amount of mold or mildew? You might not want to send your kindergartner (or even your sixth-grader) off to school with it, but if you're not prone to losing things, and if you take your lunch to work or school (or wherever you regularly go), this bag is a sound investment. If you need a little tote for your beer or soft drinks, it's also worth the investment. If you ever head to the beach or park with a few snacks, the Daytrip is still probably the best lunch bag for you.

Pros:  Sturdy, stain-resistant, magnetic seal, adjustable closure, easy to clean

Cons:  Still need some sort of cooling agent to keep things truly cold, perhaps price (but again, how many $20 lunch bags might you buy in a lifetime?)

Buying Guide

When it comes to choosing the best cooler bag, there are a few key features to consider. Below are some factors to keep in mind when making your purchase:

The first thing to consider is the size of the cooler bag. Think about how much food and drinks you will need to store, as well as how many people you will be serving. Cooler bags come in a range of sizes, from small lunch bags to large family-sized options.

The level of insulation is also an important factor to consider. A well-insulated cooler bag will keep your food and drinks cold for longer periods of time, which is especially important if you plan to be out in the sun for extended periods. Look for bags with thick insulation and quality materials.

Another important factor is the durability of the cooler bag. Look for bags made from sturdy materials that can withstand wear and tear, as well as exposure to the elements. Consider features such as reinforced handles and waterproof exteriors.

Additional Features

Finally, consider any additional features that may be important to you. Some cooler bags come with built-in bottle openers, while others have pockets for utensils and napkins. Think about what features will make your life easier and choose a cooler bag that meets those needs.

In summary, when choosing a cooler bag, consider the size, insulation, durability, and any additional features that may be important to you. By keeping these factors in mind, you can choose a bag that will meet your needs and keep your food and drinks cold for hours.

You’ll find every type of soft cooler out there, from heavy-duty waterproof versions to simple insulated vessels meant to take minimal abuse. We’ve researched dozens of the most popular models to develop this list of the best cooler bags for every person and type of outing.

  • Best overall: Yeti Hopper Flip 18
  • Best small: Carhartt Deluxe Dual-Compartment Insulated Lunch Cooler Bag
  • Best collapsible: Igloo 36-Can Snapdown
  • Best backpack: Brümate MagPack 24-Can Backpack Soft Cooler
  • Best soft-sided: Iron Flask Soft Cooler Bag
  • Best value: Coleman Soft Cooler Bag

How we chose the best cooler bags

Cooler bags are a hot commodity because they don’t require the amount of space (or expense) as a full-sized cooler . There are dozens of popular models on the market vying to keep your cans and lunch containers cool. We started with a wide survey of the product space and narrowed it down based on personal experience, user feedback, editorial reviews, and general reputation. We put several models through typical activities, including trips to the beach and toting lunches. For the best results, it’s still important to know how to pack a cooler and nail the ice-to-drinks ratio properly.

The best cooler bags: Reviews & Recommendations

From the boat and the beach to the jobsite or campsite, insulated bags keep your food and drinks at your desired temperature. Here are the best cooler bags for no matter where you plan to be this summer, whether it’s landscaping or playing backyard games .  

The YETI Hopper Flip 18 is the best portable soft cooler.

Why it made the cut: With burly construction, superior insulation, and lots of carrying options, this is the champion of cooler bags.

  • Capacity: 30 cans
  • Handle type: Hand and shoulder
  • Waterproof: Yes
  • Price: $300
  • Waterproof construction includes the zipper
  • Exceptional insulation
  • Designed to withstand UV rays and mildew buildup
  • Very expensive

Yeti has made a name for itself, making some of the best full-sized and roller coolers , and it’s brought that same engineering to its Hopper Flip 18 soft cooler. Its 30-can capacity (without ice) is more than sufficient for a day-long beach trip or hike. Adding ice will lower the number of cans you can bring but increase the amount of time your beverages will stay cold. Yeti says the cooler bag can keep beverages cold for several hours (if not days), though the exact timeframe will depend on your environment and beverage-to-ice ratio. This longevity is possible because of Yeti’s DryHide double-TPU Shell and Coldcell Insulation, which put a dense barrier between the contents of your soft cooler and the outside world.

A leakproof zipper will prevent liquid from getting in and out of the Hopper Flip 18 unnecessarily. Yeti says the materials it uses on the inside and outside of its soft cooler were designed to reduce mildew, and the outside can prevent damage from exposure to UV rays. All of these performance characteristics are common in full-sized coolers, but it’s impressive Yeti was able to keep cramming them into a much lighter, more portable cooler design. There are still some features—like the ability to use dry ice for cooling—that are exclusive to Yeti’s full-sized coolers, but all of the essentials are here.

Best small: Carhartt Deluxe Dual Compartment Insulated Lunch Cooler Bag

A small square shape black lunch bag with a zipper at the bottom of it and full with items in it.

Why it made the cut: This basic lunch bag is built super-tough and keeps food cold long enough for really late lunches.

  • Capacity: Six cans
  • Handle type: Shoulder strap and carry handle
  • Price: $29.50
  • Extremely durable outer
  • Shoulder and hand straps
  • Extra front pocket for more storage
  • Holds a 6-pack for when you’re off the clock
  • Shoulder strap is sewn on so it’s not removable
  • Capacity may be small for some large lunches if you’re also adding an ice pack

Don’t let this small cooler’s size fool you; its ultra portability doesn’t mean it’s less performant than our other recommendations. It’s made of 1,200-denier polyester, designed to resist water and protect your food. The soft cooler’s thermal insulation will keep hot foods hot or keep up to six canned beverages cold for several hours. At just 10 inches wide and nine inches tall, this soft cooler was designed to be taken on quick trips to the beach or onto a job site. A front zippered pocket can be used to hold utensils, small sauce bottles, or other paraphernalia, while a top compartment can hold more cans or be used to keep food and beverages separated. A carry handle and shoulder strap make this Carhartt lunch cooler bag easy to cart to any jobsite.

Brumate MagPack 24-Can Backpack Soft Cooler outside on a deck.

Brandt Ranj / Popular Science

Why it made the cut: This big but portable soft cooler is easy to carry around and can keep drinks cold for days.

  • Capacity: 24 cans
  • Handle type: Shoulder straps
  • Price: $274.99
  • Kept beverages cool for over 24 hours
  • Shoulder straps were comfortable
  • Magnetic lock was easy to open but stayed firmly shut

The most premium model in Brümate’s newly launched MagPack line of soft coolers is this 24-can backpack, and it’s worth every cent of its comparatively high price. The inner layers of the backpack are constructed using a proprietary technology called “IceShield” to insulate your beverages and a waterproof shell around the outside to keep any unwanted pests from getting inside. Both of these elements made the soft cooler feel solid both inside and out. We never felt like we’d damage it by moving it in and out of a car or casually dropping ice and cans into its inner chamber, then shaking them around to ensure even distribution. Our favorite design element was this cooler’s magnetic latch, which was powerful enough to prevent drinks and ice from spilling out when the backpack was turned upside down but easy enough to open one-handed.

Brümate says you can fill this cooler with up to 24 cans plus ice, 21 pounds of only ice, or seven bottles of wine with ice. We filled it with 18 cans and roughly 10 pounds of ice and left them to sit overnight. After 12 hours, it looked as if virtually no ice had melted, and the cans felt colder to the touch than when we put them in. We continued to check on our beverages at 12-hour intervals, and it was well into the second day before the ice almost completely melted. At that point, the soft cooler kept the water from the melted ice cool enough that we could grab chilled cans for several additional hours. (The cooler was left in an environment of roughly 68 degrees.)

Carrying the MagPack around was comfortable, as there was enough padding in the back and slack in the straps to make the proper adjustments. Its straps were removable, though, so we could carry it around single-handed or double-handed using its side straps. It’s nice to have this versatility, just in case. If you need a backpack cooler to keep your beverages chilled this summer, we highly recommend checking out Brümate’s MagPack 24-Can Backpack Soft Cooler.

Best collapsable: Igloo 36-Can Snapdown

Igloo snapdown cooler bag

Stan Horaczek

Why it made the cut: With lots of room for beverages and a very secure fold-down design, it’s an ideal way to pack for the coast.

  • Capacity: 36 cans
  • Handle type: Hand and shoulder straps
  • Price: $58.75
  • Very spacious
  • Front pocket provides extra storage for sunscreen or other essentials
  • Sturdy handles
  • Solid insulation
  • Fold-down opening makes for easy loading
  • Heavy when fully loaded
  • No dividers if you want to carry other items besides cans

This rectangular bag unfolds at the top to create a large opening for easy loading. It weighs just 1.7 pounds when it’s empty. That’s crucial because it holds up to 36 cans and ice, which makes it hefty when loaded to capacity. The sturdy hand straps feel very secure, and the included shoulder strap is removable, so it won’t flop around when you’re not using it. This insulated cooler bag’s large, flat front pocket is roomy enough to hold silverware, sunscreen, a Kindle, or whatever other beach essentials you might want to lug along. I brought it along to an all-day fitness competition, and it kept my lunch, some protein shakes, and a few cans of energy drinks chilled nicely, even without adding ice. The fold-down opening does a good job of keeping out sand and other debris from the environment, but the lining can wrinkle, making it tricky to clean. This is ultimately a very solid replacement for those wasteful foam coolers they sell at the supermarket. It’s a lot sturdier, too.

Iron Flask Soft Cooler Bag on a wooden deck.

Why it made the cut: Iron Flask’s soft-sided cooler is a well-constructed day-trip-friendly choice for campers and beachgoers.

  • Handle type: Straps and handles
  • Price: $170.95
  • Solid capacity
  • Drink holders on top

Iron Flask’s Soft Cooler Bag impressed by living up to the company’s claims that beverages would stay cold for two whole days—though that does mean sacrificing some can space in the name of ice. Our tests used the suggested 12 cans and about 10 pounds of ice in a 68-degree environment, and we could continue to grab cold drinks from it for a couple of days. What impressed us the most about this soft-sided cooler was its design. The cooler’s handles and strap felt solid, making it easy for us to carry it around. A pair of circular cutouts on top of the cooler provided convenient spots to hold drinks, while a built-in bottle opener ensured we’d always have one on us at a moment’s notice. The cooler bag’s design makes it the perfect choice for carting around on a commuter/cargo bike , too.

Iron Flask said its soft cooler was rip-resistant and leakproof, and we put the latter statement to the test by leaving ice water inside, shaking it around, and keeping the cooler upside down. Water didn’t get through, so you shouldn’t have any leaking issues while transporting beverages or keeping water in this soft cooler bag in a car or on the beach overnight. By using the right insulation, Iron Flask was able to coax the maximum amount of performance from a lighter weight soft cooler bag. While it’s a little more expensive than the competition, you’re certainly getting what you paid for.

Best budget: Coleman Soft Cooler Bag

A square bag in gray, red, black and white, with a chain on the top of the bag and a pocket in front.

Why it made the cut: This roomy bag provides solid insulation and lots of space to cover various uses.

  • Handle type: Shoulder strap
  • Waterproof: No
  • High capacity
  • Flip-open top makes for easy access
  • Folds down when empty for easy transport
  • Not waterproof or leak-proof, so best for packaged products
  • No handle for hand-carrying

This may not be the least expensive soft cooler we recommend, but its 30-can capacity is impressive given its sub-$50 price tag. Even on 90-degree Fahrenheit days, this Coleman soft cooler bag can keep 30 cans cold for 24 hours because it has heat-welded leakproof seams and robust insulation. While hardly bulletproof, the nylon exterior has an antimicrobial lining designed to keep out odor, mold, mildew, and fungus. Plus, the ripstop fabric is made to prevent tears. That’s plenty of protection for a budget buy. The soft cooler bag also features side handles and an adjustable shoulder strap for easy transport, plus a front pocket to store your keys or bottle opener. 

What to consider when shopping for the best cooler bags

Whether you need them for play or work, the best cooler bags have one main job: maintaining your food’s temperature. Bags accomplish this through insulation, leakproof seams, and other features. Just in time for you to pack that picnic, we’ve unpacked what you need to look for in a cooler bag.

Insulation is the primary way the best cooler bags keep food cold—or hot, for that matter. Most bags feature thermal insulation, which keeps food or drinks at the desired temperature by stopping heat transfer. Think about it: If you place a hot mug of coffee on the counter, the beverage will slowly cool to room temperature. But suppose you put it in a concealed environment. In that case, it’ll transfer its heat energy to the inside of that space while simultaneously pulling heat energy from the air around it until the temperature of both the coffee and that concealed space settles somewhere in between.

A cooler bag’s insulation helps win the heat-transfer battle, and the best cooler bags use foam insulation. The gas bubbles in the foam, as well as the porous spaces between those bubbles, help slow heat transfer. But not all foam is the same. Open-cell foam is lighter and more flexible—making it an easier fit for soft-sided coolers. However, it doesn’t stop the transfer of heat as well as closed-cell foam, which does a better job of limiting the interaction between the gas bubbles. Brands such as Yeti have created foam insulation that’s light and soft enough for bags, bringing the best of thermal to soft-sided coolers. Of course, expect to pay higher prices for technology that so effectively keeps the temperature up (or down).  

Seams are critical in a soft cooler bag because they prevent leaks of all kinds. One type of leak is apparent—if the seams aren’t tight and your bag of marinating chicken spills, you’ll be cleaning your trunk, as well as your cooler. (Also, if you’re planning to dump ice into your insulated bag, weak seams could lead to a wet picnic blanket.)

While not as messy, the other kind of leak could be just as problematic. Remember, they work by creating a perfectly concealed environment to prevent heat transfer. Leaky seams compromise that environment by allowing air to flow in and out.

So what should you look for in a cooler’s seams? Rather than being stitched or glued together, the best cooler bags—the most airtight, that is—are welded together with heat and pressure. The seal on top of the bag also factors in. While zippers are most common—and perfectly suitable—Yeti has developed a magnetic seal that’s nearly as tight as a drybag. 

The outside of your cooler bag is important since that material determines waterproofing and other protections. A fabric’s deniability refers to the thickness of each thread, and anything above “1,000 denier ” should provide ample resistance to water, mildew, and the sun. Many bags also feature breathable, elements-resistant linings—à la Gore-Tex .  

Soft bags can have as much capacity as blocky hard coolers. But if you plan to use it as a lunch box rather than a camping refrigerator, you’d be foolish to opt for the 30-can model. Still, a bigger bag can accommodate more ice, giving you the option of keeping food chilled for longer. Plus, the advantage of the best soft cooler bags over hard coolers is that they are packable, often folding down or rolling up in a way that lets them take up just a fraction of the space when they’re empty.

When your cooler bag is loaded with a case of beer and a bag of ice, you may need an extra set of hands. Models with handles, as well as shoulder straps, offer more ways—and more places—to grab and lift. Extra pockets are useful, too. Some bags have two insulated pockets, allowing you to keep your leftovers warm on top and your beer cold down below. Front and side pockets provide the perfect places to stash your dry goods or your keys. 

Q: Are soft coolers waterproof?

Many soft coolers are waterproof. They feature protective shells or linings that also keep mold, mildew, and the sun’s rays at bay.

Q: Can I put ice in an insulated bag?

You can absolutely put ice in an insulated bag. The interior linings of the best options are completely leakproof, with seams that are welded together. Some even include pourable spouts, letting you easily drain water as the ice melts without requiring that you take out all of your food or drinks.

Q: How long does food stay cold in an insulated bag?

Depending on the cooler bag you choose, your food can stay cold for hours or days. As a reference point, Coleman’s budget bag boasts that it can keep 30 cans cold for 24 hours. Of course, the quality of the insulation technology is important—with Yeti’s closed-cell foam, such as in the Yeti Hopper M30, leading the way—but size also matters. The bigger the bag, the more ice it can hold and, therefore, the longer your bag will have ice to keep your food cold.  

Q: How do you clean a cooler bag?

In most cases, you can clean out a cooler bag by sloshing water around it and using mild dish soap inside to prevent bacteria or odors from building up. If a spill has occurred, you may want to use a sponge to clean the inside more thoroughly. Rinsing off the outside of a cooler bag will be sufficient to keep it clean.

Q: Should I get a soft-sided or a hard-sided cooler?

Soft-sided coolers are generally lighter but keep beverages cooler for a shorter period of time. Hard-sided coolers typically use denser materials as insulation, which adds to their weight and cooling capabilities. There’s no wrong answer, and the best choice will come down to your personal preference.

Q: How much do cooler bags cost?

This depends on their size, capacity, and materials. Our recommendations cost between $33 and $275.

Final thoughts on shopping for the best cooler bags

Whether you’re looking for frosty beers or fresher produce, an insulated bag is like a portable refrigerator that packs up easily when it’s emptied. With thermal bags’ foam insulation systems and airtight seals, the best cooler bags can keep your hot food warm and your cold cuts cool. The size and style you need depend on what you want to eat and drink and where you want to consume it—maybe at a pier or a picnic table . But no matter if you’re looking to tip back a few cold ones on a boat deck or eat a hot sandwich while constructing a client’s back deck, there is an option that’s right for you.

Dimensions: 18 x 8.5 x 16 inches|  Weight: 2.7 pounds |  Material: Canvas

As an added bonus, the bag is made from malleable canvas, which makes it easy to roll back up into your closet when you’re done using it.

Forbes Vetted updates writer Claire Epting , who has used this bag on several long trips, is a fan of its quality. “The internal pockets are very useful, and I appreciate the sturdy zippers located throughout,” she says. “The hardware feels very high quality and I'm never worried about anything snagging or snapping off.”

To keep you up-to-date on the best weekender bags, we refresh this roundup regularly. It was last updated in March 2024.

How To Choose The Best Weekender Bags

Just like the perfect weekend trip isn’t the same for every traveler, weekender bags run the gamut in terms of options. Here’s what to keep in mind when picking the right style for your needs and one that will last through multiple trips.

Small Sizes (Light Packer Or Short Trips): Go for a lightweight canvas or nylon tote with at least 17-liter capacity to hold a few days’ worth of clothes and your laptop. This option can double as your day bag, and ideally it has top handles and an adjustable strap so you can carry it, or wear it over your shoulder or as a cross body. Compartments are key, with separate zippered compartments being key for your essentials.

Medium Sizes (Moderate Packer): If you need a little more packing space, a medium or large duffle (with 55 liter-capacity) is best as these have more volume and slots to keep your things organized. For roll-on fans, look to large carry-on suitcases that fit in the overhead, are expandable (from 40 to 60 liters in capacity size) and have separate pockets and compartments to keep tailored and special pieces flat and pressed.

Large Sizes (Serious Packer): If you’re traveling for many hours or for a weekend that might also turn into an extended stay, you’ll need a lightweight, yet durable wheeled bag that is also expandable, and has in-built storage and hanging systems or compartments to separate your shoes, tech, cosmetics and other essentials. These large capacity stalwarts can hold 70 to 90 liters but ideally you want it to weigh no more than 11 pounds since no one want to lug around the equivalent of a 747 jet on vacation.

Materials And Hardware: Casual canvas weekenders look great but can show marks in white and neutral shades, so go for darker colors if you’re a rugged traveler or make sure your bag is machine washable. Nylon is a great choice for most bags that’s durable, easy to roll up and waterproof. Leather is enduring and tends to get better with age, making this material worth the investment. For more structured bags and suitcases, it’s especially important to invest in good construction and hardware. Think: easy to extend telescopic handles, adjustable straps, pinch and close openings and double stitched seams. For the outer shell, look for polycarbonate (recycled ideally), heavy duty fiberboard and silicone-coated canvas to be the most indestructible.

How Do I Find The Best Weekender Bag For Me?

“When buying a weekender or suitcase, consider your setting, packing style and travel plans,” says Melling. “If you’re going on an active outdoor adventure or racing through airports, for example, you need a bag for the circumstances.” Melling is partial to “soft duffle bags that are malleable in shape for packing.” If you carry a lot, consider a bag with wheels.

Light packers should choose a spacious tote or shopper that will double as your overnighter and day bag. Aim to fit two to three days’ worth of clothes in your bag (roll your clothing, rather than folding it, to maximize space) and be ruthless in eliminating anything you don’t need—chances are, you’ll only wear a few outfits, no matter how much you bring.

What Features Matter Most For A Weekender Bag?

The best weekender bags really should stand the test of time. Brands such as Paravel, Away and even the Prada’s and Gucci’s of the world are embracing eco-friendly materials, vegan leather detailing and recycled materials. If you prioritize space, go for a roll-on and pay attention to the wheels—they shouldn’t make any noticeable sound when in motion and have 360-degree turning capability since no one likes a squeaky or non-cooperative wheel. It’s also worth double checking that your carry-on bag is TSA-approved and if the brand has a warranty. Many will replace, repair and even refund damaged bags or suitcases.

How Many Travel Bags Do I Need For A Trip?

For most travel needs, a classic weekender bag, a larger duffle bag and a sturdy piece of rolling luggage should be your essentials for a long haul trip. Although travel accessories can feel utilitarian, don’t be afraid to show some personality by experimenting with fun, quirky shades: Black and tan will always be classic and timeless, especially in leather, but as with wanderlust, you don’t always have to take the expected path. Securing a unique luggage tag is another chic way to make sure you never mix up your bags with anyone else’s luggage.

Enter the Dagne Dover Indi (again), this time in the small size. The small version comes with all the same features as the large backpack: a washable bag, the Scout Pouch, key leashes, stroller clips, and plenty of exterior and interior pockets.

If you like this style but don't need all the extras and pockets, consider the Dakota Backpack .

Price: $120 or less

Frequently Asked Questions

In most cases, a diaper bag can be carried on to the plane in addition to a personal item and a carry-on bag. Be sure to check your airline's policies before flying.

While any backpack can double as a diaper bag, diaper bag backpacks offer baby-specific features that standard backpacks don't. These include insulated pockets for bottles, a sleeve for wipes and stroller clips.

Why Trust U.S. News Travel

Amanda Norcross , senior content and SEO strategist for travel at U.S. News, purchased the Mina Baie Kinney Backpack and Herschel Settlement Backpack a few years ago while in search of the "anti-diaper bag." Both diaper bags have proven useful even beyond the baby stage. For her other recommendations, she talked to travel industry experts who are also parents.

Shop the Sunshine Vibes collection before it sells out.

Travel + Leisure / Daisy Rodriguez

No water bottle has gained the level of fame that Stanley’s 40-ounce Quencher Tumbler has, making it a highly sought-after vessel that sells out quickly. Rightfully so — the stainless steel tumbler keeps water incredibly cold for hours, famously fits in the cup holder of your car, and comes in so many seasonal colors. 

And today, the brand just dropped its exclusive Sunshine Vibes Stanley collection at Target, which includes the shopper-favorite brand in bold, spring- and summer-ready hues. Whether you’re in the market for a new water bottle or want to add some fun new colors to your on-the-go collection, shop the new launch now while products are still in stock.    

Stanley 40-Ounce Quencher Tumbler

The brand’s most popular water bottle, the 40-Ounce Stainless Steel H2.0 Flowstate Quencher Tumbler , now comes in four new colors: amethyst, aqua, sunshine, and summer plaid, a pattern which consists of its other shades. Shoppers love the water bottle for road trips, workout classes, and long flights, and the new one features the same lid that allows you to sip directly from the bottle, use a straw, or secure it closed to prevent splashes. 

Stanley 20-Ounce Stainless Steel IceFlow Flip Straw Tumbler

While the larger tumbler is designed to be an on-the-go water bottle, Stanley has multiple travel-friendly bottles that are also included in the new color drop. If a smaller tumbler makes more sense for you, grab the 20-Ounce IceFlow Flip Straw Tumbler in aqua, cobalt, marigold, and poppy. And for a water bottle that can be thrown in your bag without fear of leaking, opt for the 20-Ounce All Day Slim Bottle , which comes in four striped patterns and has two openings at the top to fill it easily with water and ice.

Stanley 20-Ounce Stainless Steel All Day Slim Bottle

In addition to the updated colors, Stanley’s new launch also includes a patio collection featuring pitchers , flasks , coolers , and large-capacity drink dispensers . If summer travel looks like trips to the beach or camping in the mountains, the 16-Quart Easy-Carry Outdoor Cooler is an ideal option to hold up to 21 cans, and it comes in three colors: azure, lilac, and pomelo. 

Stanley 16-Quart Plastic Easy-Carry Outdoor Cooler

If past Stanley collections are any indication, this new launch is likely to sell out while you’re reading this. Keep scrolling through for more color options, and snag your favorites from Stanley’s Sunshine Vibes Collection while they’re still in stock.
