What owners single out
In their words
“I recently took my 20 can Soft pack cooler on a white water rafting trip, it held up great and was easily able to strap down on our raft. The next very day I did a tubing trek on a different section of the river and floated it next to my tube, it held up throughout the entire float for about 4hrs, and even endured a handful of rapids. The Ice retention held up for each of the trips. Great cooler, ”

“My sister got us this personalized cooler with our last name as a wedding gift. The zipper was always difficult to zip and most recently it broke off. I reached out to customer service and they said they couldn’t do anything about it because it was outside of the warranty window. Wouldn’t recommend if you want a cooler to last you a while. What a bummer!”
