AO Coolers Traveler Original Soft Cooler with High-Density Insulation

I couldn't tell from the photos, but the zipper top closes like a book bag, not a rectangular cooler. I thought it would be to large for a daily lunch or dinner bag, but it works well. I can't compare it to other soft sided coolers as I haven't bought any others but the construction seems very sturdy. The interior liner is some of the thickest plastic I've ever seen.I like it more as the zipper is straight across the top instead of making it into a "box".After a solid 6 months of using this for my lunch bag cooler, I thought I'd update and clarify my review. The top zipper is doube ended, a feature I like as you can open it from either side, or zip them together in the middle if you prefer.When opened, the cooler opens into a square shape. which makes loading it easier than say a Yet which only opens to a slit. The top is also insulated, where a Yeti is thick plastic. The interior plastic liner is a single piece, so it's not a formed fit, wrinkles and spaces make it a tad harder to clean out but a gargen hose and detergent is sufficien. The one piece construction avoids interior welded plastic seems as in the Yeti.I had doubts of the usefulness of zippered pocket. But they are very handy for storing some utensils or paper plates/napkins, The Yeti doesn't offer side pockets.The insulation is sewn through in some spots (sides, corners) which would effect performance.After 6 months as a truck lunch cooler I'm very satisfied. The Yeti is more extreme, but not needed at teh price point for keeping a tuna sandwich from becoming soggy.This product (AO) looks very similar to the Polar Bear brand but I paid $20 less than that one. I recommend it for the price to performance ratio.

I did my homework on this purchase. I joined Freedom Boat Club a few months ago so I go out on a powerboat about once a week. I need a convenient way to bring cold drinks and food without lugging a huge cooler from my car to the dock everytime. So, I wanted to find a suitable soft cooler that was a good compromise between size and weight -- and of course it needed to keep drinks cold and not leak all over my car.I really did want a Yeti soft cooler but I really didn't want to pay $300. So I googled and read every review and article I could find on soft coolers. As far as I can figure, there are basically four segments in the market: 1) Yeti -- perhaps the best and undoubtedly the most expensive; 2) Yeti knock-offs -- a host of coolers that claim they are as good as Yeti and cost almost as much; 3) Mid-priced soft coolers -- like this one; and 4) Disposable, tradeshow-grade crap.So I've had a bunch of type 4 coolers and I'm done with them. They don't keep stuff cool and they leak water everywhere. I decided that type 1 (Yeti) is not going to happen -- just too much to spend for a soft cooler no matter how good it is. So I was really torn between Type 2 and 3 and trying to make the best decision. At the end of the day, it came down to a few good reviews for this AO Cooler, one in Consumer Reports, and the realization that the most logical decision is to take a chance with this cooler for $60 rather than a Yeti knockoff for 3-4 times more. If this AO Cooler works out, I've saved a bunch of money. If it doesn't, then I get the Yeti knockoff or even the Yeti itself knowing that it's worth the substantially higher price.So far, so good. I've taken it on a couple trips and it performs well. My drinks stayed cold and there was no leaking. It's not as heavy-duty as the Yeti or knock-offs but I think if I'm careful it should hold up. I'll update this review in a few months and report positively or negatively on durability. At this point, I would recommend this soft cooler.

searched for awhile to find a quality cooler that would fit over the transmission hump in my work truck. fits perfect. very good cooler, keeps stuff super cold.

I bought this cooler for our family vacation (4 of us) to the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone. We did a lot of hiking and I wanted to have some snacks and waters with us in the car at all times. I also bought the Cooler Shock Large Dry Packs to go with it. This worked out so well. It was the perfect size for us, not too big and wieldy, but still large enough to fit plenty of drinks for the 4 of us and even sandwiches. I also really liked that the cooler had side pockets for dry good. The Cooler Shock Large Dry Packs worked amazingly well, too. These packs kept everything cool without any of the melted ice mess.

One of the big questions i had but couldn't find a picture or answer was "So does it really have two pockets?" And yes it does. As for the performance i reviewed this unit along side yeti and Ice mule and a few others and this unit performed on par if not better then some units costing twice as much. The main reason i went with this cooler is of its size an features. I needed something high performing for those trip to the pool or an overnight trip out of town. This units pockets and deep enough to handle most of your essentials IE cellphone,wallet,keys and the cool thing is in the other pocket you can put snacks beach stuff like sunblock ect... And i love how you can fit 12 cans in here with about 7-10lbs of ice max load and yes it fill fit more cans if you minus some ice. I love the form factor once you put in 12 cans it is a stout sturdy little guy. I have this model AO Cooler and a few other for other purposes but this fits the bill if you are looking for a high performance soft-side cooler and don't need more then 12 cans "yes you can fit more" and you want your ice to last more then 12-24hrs. Oh and the build quality is great a solid canvas shell keeps it looking good and it resists, tearing, even if placed on rough terrain.

After much research I went with AO 24 Deluxe. I am not disappointed at all. I love the side pockets and the overall quality is great. I use it as a lunch kit and can’t speak to the insulation yet as it’s winter in Canada... Only complaint would be the shoulder strap is too short to put over your head and wear across your body. Can’t go wrong for the price.

夏のレジャーにはもってこいの商品です。直射日光を避ければ、一日なら問題なく使えます！大きさもちょうどいい。ハードクーラーも良いけど重いのがネック。

bonne qualité, malgré qu'elle est souple, elle est robuste , pochette très pratique

クーラーボックスとしては大満足なのですがポッケがこんなに大きいものだったのかと。ただ完全に自分の下調べ不足で商品には全く問題ありません。
