SPARTER Backpack Cooler Insulated Leak Proof 33/49 Cans, 2 Insulated Compartments Thermal Bag, Portable Lightweight Beach Travel Camping Lunch Backpack for Men and Women

I drive a party bus in Florida, this sits on the floor all day next to me, I will freeze 2 bottles of water and use them as my ice packs. The bottles are large body armor bottles, they fit perfectly vertically in this bag. If I tried I'm sure I could fit 8 of them in it with some room to spare. This bag keeps my drinks nice and cold all day and does not leak when I do add ice into it. The zippers are well made and sturdy, as are all the straps. This is a purchase I am very happy with and happy to suggest to others. I'm not afraid to call out bad items, and this is a good one.

This cooler is amazing. It kept our drinks very cold for 6 hours in the bahamas in 90 degree heat. We did keep it either in shade or covered with a towel. When we unpacked it there was still some ice left. It Didn't leak a bit and was comfortable to carry.

This cooler backpack is incredibly comfortable to wear on your back—lightweight and breathable enough to keep things cool all day. It's the perfect size for daily use, and the shoulder straps stay comfortable even after hours of wear. In my opinion, the build quality is excellent and far exceeds its price point. I highly recommend it. Plus, I absolutely love the color combination—it adds a stylish touch to a very practical design.

To me, this thing is good from top to bottom the straps fit tight. They’re adjustable to a very good length and as far as storage goes, you could really fit an entire days worth of meals in this thing. It has a top section to store flatter items. Then you have the inside very spacious very good and it does keep things cold. You also have another zipper across the front all in all this cooler is great. I would definitely recommend it.

Pleasantly surprised! This cooler holds quite a bit. I especially love all the extra little pockets it has for dry snacks and other things. The attached bottle opener is a nice addition. I actually downsized to this one for it to be easier to transport in my wagon for flag football tournaments. It holds the temperature well with the gel ice packs. It sat out all day in 50+ degree temps and the ice pack was still frozen. You cannot go wrong with black. It seems to wipe off easily with the exterior material. Durable enough to last a while. Great value for the money.

Love this! Replaced my broken Playmate cooler and now love how versatile this is when I am packing food and drink for a weekend trip. Retains cool temperatures so much better, holds many different items of different sizes and is very comfortable to carry so i can be hands free. Well worth it for this great design.

I live in Texas and I spend a lot of time outdoors at concerts, camping, and hiking... I mainly bought this for the hiking. A typical day hike for me is 15 to 20 miles, and I wanted something with firm sides that would keep my water bottles standing, rather than allowing them to fall all over inside the pack and press uncomfortably against my lower back. I usually go out with 5 liters of water, iced in the freezer, which is a lot of weight pressing against you. The bottles I placed into THIS pack remained standing, and I can tell you that after my most recent 21+ mile hike, I felt the difference! It insulates and retains ice pretty well. When I was walking with the backpack on I did not feel any cold against my back, and I did not feel, or find any leaks. When I was about 16 miles into my hike and I pulled out another bottle, it was still about 80% to 85% ice. When I finished my hike and I looked into the bag, there was a small amount of water from the condensation, and as I said earlier, there were no leaks found. The top storage pocket of the backpack and the one on the front of it provide ample room for my wallet, compass, GPS unit, cell phone, sunglass case, and anything else that I prefer to bring with, rather than leave in my car. The items in these pockets were also well insulated from the frozen items in the storage area of the back pack. The only complaint that I have is that the padding on the straps feel cheap. They did the job and I had no issues on my hike, but when I first put the backpack on some of the back bled onto my right shoulder. I was a bit sweaty, because Texas, and it was not obvious, but seeing that it even happened in the first place makes me wonder... a quality material should not bleed. So why was I "pleasantly surprised" with this product? Well, When I first ordered it, I thought it was a Starter brand backpack. The logo is pretty similar, and though I was surprised that Starter would make a product like this, it did not seem too cray cray, given they made jackets and other outdoor wear. So when I received it, I was sort feeling like I was hoodwinked (even if I was, my fault for not paying attention at the time of purchase). It turned out to be a great purchase though. Oh, I almost forgot, I was able to easily fit two 2 2-liter bottles into the main storage area of the backpack. I found that I could also add a liter and a 1.5 liter water bottle. If I wanted to throw sandwiches and protein bars into the main storage area, there would definitely be more than enough room for a few of each. I am hoping this gives you a better idea of how much you can pack into it.

Full disclosure: I didn't buy this for its cooler function, though that comes in handy. I bought it in my never-ending quest for the perfect all-around dance bag, which for me must be a backpack, because I'm married to a physical therapist who will gaze upon me with insufferable disappointment if I screw up my body by carrying around a cross-body bag. So I can't, at the moment, really tell you if this bag will keep your picnic cold until lunch time on a hot day, or what have you. I can, however, tell you the following: It's got some great exterior pockets! The one in the lid, which somehow I didn't realize it had until I received the bag, is ideal for keeping quick-access snacks, my epi-pen, and my inhaler handy. The one on the front/back (ppl disagree about which side this is on backpacks; anyway, it's the one opposite the straps) will handily hold a 10" tablet, three pairs of technique shoes (what normal people call "ballet slippers" – the soft ones, not pointe shoes), my wallet, and whatever other flat things I've forgotten that I stuck in there. It's got an inner divider with elastic. The mesh pockets are roomy and will hold a pretty large water bottle – a 40 oz Hydroflask should fit just fine, though typically I just stuff them with protein bars. The main compartment is roomy and appears to be well-insulated. I've added one of those felt backpack organizer things at the bottom to keep my various #dancerlife accessories organized and visible, and it's still got plenty of room for everything else I need and my lunch. The insulation also means that the bucket-style opening stays wide open when unzipped, so you can easily see into the bag's interior. The two grab handles feel extremely reliable. I often hesitate to use the ones on my backpacks, but not this time: these are built to last. The zippers and other hardware also feel sturdy and reliable. The straps are comfortable and offer quite a range for adjustment. My sole complaint is that a sternum strap isn't included, but it's not hard to add one. A bottle opener *is* included, however, as are a few thoughtful attachment points for things like keys. Lastly, the bright orange color makes it easy to spot, which seems like it might come in handy when traveling. I'll check back in when I get a chance to take some good pix and upload them, but thus far I'm pretty impressed with this bag. Definitely recommended as a backpack. As a cooler, I'm not really sure, but if I get a chance to really test its merits in that department, I'll update accordingly.
