Keeping your stuff cool on the go is a must during hotter months, but you have to have the proper gear to make it happen.
Well, just for today, Amazon has slashed prices up to 45% on everything you need to stay cool out there, from soft coolers to slim ice packs that fit everywhere.
These coolers come with insulation that works, so you won’t open your cooler to find that all of the ice you bought melted, coating your bottles and sandwiches in a pool of water. They’re more useful than you’d think. Shop some of our favorite styles below:
If you’re going on a day trip to the beach or hiking for miles, this 30-can bag will outlast the weather. Drinks and snacks stay cool for 16 hours while inside, and you don’t have to worry about any of that cool ice or liquid creeping onto your back while wearing the bag. A ventilated back and leak-proof insulation keeps you dry.
"We use this backpack almost every day," a satisfied customer said. "We're always hiking to new river spots and we love this backpack. We're gonna buy another one. It's light-weight. It's waterproof. We always fill it with ice and beverages and it holds the ice really well. It's not as efficient at keeping the ice cold as their big black backpack. But it does the job. I love how lightweight it is and how many pockets it has. It even has a bottle opener on the side. It's our favorite. One of the best things I've ever bought on Amazon. Seriously."
A reliable ice pack is a must, whether you're looking to keep your cooler or lunch chilly. This pack has four! Tourit's ice packs are slim enough to fit in just about everything, and they're packed with gel that holds low temperatures longer than regular water-infused ice packs.
"My husband leaves his lunch sit in his truck and it is 90+ degrees outside. The little packs keep his lunch and soda cold all day," said a happy customer. "They pack nicely in his lunch box. I like that they are narrow and I can lay two on the bottom and then put his soda and sandwich on top of them."
Want to tote along drinks for you and a few friends? This soft cooler is here for it — it can fit a whopping 48 cans! There's a lot to love about this cooler, including an inner liner that's waterproof and leakproof. The exterior is crafted from high-density Oxford cloth that's made to last. A padded handle and detachable shoulder strap help keep the bag from digging into your shoulders.
"I bought this for a trip to New Mexico when daytime temps were about 104 degrees," said a five-star fan. "I wanted to keep bottled water and snacks in the car, but knew they'd be scalding hot and/or melted after going hiking for hours. I've never had much luck with soft side coolers, but chose to give this a try since it packs flat and was a good size. I was so glad I did!! I'd fill the cooler with ice when leaving the hotel around 8 a.m., pack it with drinks and snacks and head out for the day. The cooler sat in the car (which reached well over 130 degrees inside) until about 6 p.m. when I'd get back to the hotel. In 10 hours, only about half of the ice had melted each day and everything inside stayed extremely cold. There was even one day I didn't fill it with ice and just put cold drinks inside and left them in the car all day. Everything still stayed nice and cool!"
