![]() We’ve owned the wheel-less version of this cooler for two years and even trusted it to keep a baby’s milk cold during long 10-hour drives across the country and for chilled drinks at the beach in over 100-degree weather. We tested an unwheeled version of this cooler and liked it - but realized we’d love it with wheels. The Details: 30 cans | 1.1 pounds | 13 x 7.5 x 15.8 inches | Ice retention: 16 hours However, no other damage was present, and we think this backpack performs admirably in most everyday scenarios. Unfortunately, we also experienced heavy leaking through the zippers and cans denting in the interior after we tossed this cooler off a table a couple times. The padded, adjustable straps are comfortable, but there is no chest strap, and wearing the backpack at full capacity for significant distances may not be ideal for some. The thick-lined insulated interior is also leakproof (but the backpack itself isn't) and can keep ice for up to 16 hours. It presents like a regular backpack and is easy to lift and carry, making it perfect for picnics in city parks. In addition to the main compartment, you’ll have your pick of extra storage options, including two side mesh pockets, a spacious front lid zip pocket, and a slim strap pocket (great for holding a phone or cash). The Tourit 30-can Cooler Backpack holds more like 20 cans with ice, and we love it for its bang-for-your-buck price and lightweight, multi-feature design. It disappointed us during our durability tests. The Details: 26 liters | 3 pounds | 23.9 x 10.4 x 14.97 inches | Leakproof | Other sizes: 18 liters Overall, the Day Escape’s performance is outstanding. We flipped the bag upside down when it was fully loaded and gave it a shake, and we’re happy to report there was no leaking. That said, we’re confident it could do the job on a day trip. Most of the ice had melted within 2.5 hours when the cooler was out in Tennessee during the height of summer, but it kept more ice intact and drinks cool in lower temperatures out on the water. One qualm was that the temperature retention wasn’t consistent. There are no additional pockets or storage options, but the tote does have built-in loops and attachment capabilities so you can customize it with compatible extras as needed. ![]() The fact that it’s leakproof, easy to carry, spacious inside (one tester’s mom was loving the fact she could lay a veggie tray on the bottom with no issues), and stylish put it at the top of our list. The 600D polyester exterior is durable and waterproof, and we really liked how they worked it into the cute tote design. We tested the Hydroflask Day Escape 26L in two different real-world scenarios, including in the hot southern sun and out on a boat trip. ![]() The ice retention is variable depending on the weather.
