Anybody have one? Any count?

I do not own one but have spoke with people who do.
Great cooler but didn't last as long as a regular soft side cooler. For the beach or lake I think they would be great. As an everyday cooler that gets a lot of use I don't know if they would hold up.
I do like the design and have thought many times of getting one because of how light they are and being light light when packing

Hopefully some others will chime in and change my mind.

That’s kind of the angle I as looking at. It would be nice to be able to roll one up and travel with it, especially flying and you want to take a cooler to the beach, hunting, etc. just not sure how durable they are and if they can hold ice well enough over a 24 he period. I’m not expecting it to hold ice like a hard side.

I’ve got one that I got as a gift if a backpack style. It’s a good cooler.

I don't know this one.

I got a polar bear backpack cooler as a corporate gift and it's been good for beach/boat trips. Works well for a day trip.

Had a polar bear camo (not a backpack) cooler and i tossed it in the trash. Hated to but it was crap

Im fixing to give the magellan ones a try. Academy keeps some in stock. They are roto molded like yeti

I have a backpack style Icemule I’ve had maybe a couple years, I hang it on the tractor, throw it in the back of the ranger, in the boat. Clean it up with soap and water and take it anywhere.
Like all coolers if you take time to prep it, I put mine in the freezer before I pack it, it’s as good as any soft cooler, but light weight and easy to carry.
Ice for 24 hrs. No it ain’t happening.

Ice for 6-8 hrs on the beach?

I’ve got an ozark trail backpack cooler and if you keep it off the sand it’ll easily keep drinks for 8 hours on the beach.

The backpack gets used maybe 5-6 times a year. It's pretty good. Had it 5 years or so.

Yes, it keeps 8 hours in the sun, throwing a towel over it will help.

We have one and it sucks..

Had one for a few years. Use it for short trips.good for that.

How bout the SHITI cooler?

We have one that we use for kayak trips. I've had it keep ice for 8ish hours only once. But we didn't open it too often. For our normal usage (pulling coldbeer every 20- 30 minutes) it will hold ice for 5-6 hours reliably. In my experience, the beverages stayed cold enough to enjoy even when the ice melts down as long as you don't spill too much of the water. The price is a little high for what it does but overall, I'm fairly satisfied with it's performance. The packability and light weight sold me on it.

Zippers on the traveler line (rigid square/rectangular backpack ones) are dreadful. However, their customer service and commitment to their product is excellent. Had one well out of warranty and they replaced it with zero questions asked.
