Maelstrom Backpack Cooler,Soft Lightweight Leakproof Cooler Backpack,Men Women 35/50 Can Insulated Cooler Bag,Keeps Hot/Cold for Up to 16 Hours,Perfect for Camping, Beach

This really is a great bag, I was surprised by the quality of it. For a company I haven't heard of before, I wasn't sure how the quality would be but when we received it, we were impressed. The stitching was done well and it was a lot heavier duty then we thought. This will be great for taking the kids to the beach and keeping everything cool for a refreshing drink. The insulation is great and the size is perfect for our family of 4. I also apprecaite all the extra pockets and thoughtful storage options. I would recommend this for a family outing to the beach or park as a way to keep organized without having to carry a large cooler, this frees up my hands to carry other items.

This is a great product well made and should last for a long time. I have several bags made by this company and have yet to be disappointed in any of them. I love the durable yet lightweight construction, this bag will be going with me on shopping trips to put my cold or frozen foods in to keep them in good condition till I get home. It would also be perfect for those outings or picnics that you want to take along cold foods and drinks, the backpack style is perfect for this. It is very roomy and will hold enough for a family. Love the various pockets that you can use for any dry goods that you choose to take along, napkins, silverware, etc. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a cold bag.

I’ve been using this insulated backpack for several weekend picnics, beach days, and outdoor barbecues. The large compartment easily fits 30 cans plus ice packs and lunch containers without feeling overstuffed. The size remains manageable even when packed and the padded straps distribute weight comfortably across shoulders. I often carry it with snacks and drinks for two people and the pack handles full loads without strain. It’s also super easy to use and then fold up and store. The insulation effectiveness impressed me over hours of use. On a 90-degree summer afternoon I packed chilled items in the morning and opened it again late afternoon, the cold chopped vegetables and drinks remained cool and refreshing. The upgraded leak-proof liner prevented any spills or condensation from seeping through the bottom. Exterior nylon resisted splashes and wiped clean easily. I also appreciated that the zippers and handles held strong after multiple outings and rough transport. Considering capacity, build quality, and cooling performance this backpack offers excellent value. Its ability to replace multiple bags or bulky coolers makes it a go-to for outdoor adventures or work lunches. For anyone seeking reliable, stylish gear that keeps items cold, stays tough, and carries well, this Maelstrom cooler backpack delivers beyond its expectations.

Great cooler great size storage capacity is ok very easy to use no leakage as of yet

I was pleasantly surprised when I received this cooler bag. The color I picked was amazing and the quality of the bag feels like it was constructed with not only heavy material to last but also stitched with quality. There are a number of compartments to help organize other things as dry goods. I love the functionality and especially the shoulder straps, which allows me to carry my rods and cooler to the boat in one trip. The insulation in the cooler helped to make everything I put in cooler that day stay cold for the 6 hours on the boat. If your looking for a cooler that is well constructed and keeps items cold for long periods of time, easy to carry and very cost efficient this is the one for you.

I've had this bag for a year now and it has worked really well. My husband uses it every day as a lunch bag for work in over 100°F weather for ten hours and the icepacks still come back cold and mostly frozen. It's also super great for hikes or picnics and can fit quite a bit of food and drinks in it.

This is an attractive backpack that appears to be very well constructed and versatile. The inside lining appears to be strong enough to hold up to its intended use but I am always careful when packing coolers of this type and aware of any sharp edges on whatever is being placed so as to not tear the lining. The pack is very comfortable to carry with adjustable straps, is the size is just right, and there are numerous zip pockets on the outside for storing various necessities. In addition to a day cooler, this product could easisly serve as a basic backpack for picnicking, day hikes, kayaking, etc. as it is lightweight and can easily store the items needed for one or even two or three days (spare clothing, food, first aid kit, etc.) with the waterproof lining being a plus in the event of encountering rain. Overall, for the apparent quality, this backpack is very reasonably priced and I recommend this product.

This is a really nice, well-made cooler backback. I have a couple of Maelstrom-branded packs for various uses because they are a good mix of performance and value, and this one is no exception. This pack is a little more streamlined than some of them, which I appreciate -- there's a pocket-on-pocket-on-pocket approach to some that might be fairly functional, but is also a bit clunky. So I like that this one is cleaner in design. The color is nice, too. The gray is a surprisingly classy heathered texture. The branding is pretty subtle, which I prefer, and I like that the flag patch is removable. It's attached with velcro, so you can put your own patch or even a different accessory on there. Performance-wise, it's as good as any other soft cooler out there, which is to say that it's OK, but certainly not up to the performance of a hard-sided cooler. But it's also WAY lighter, and you can wear it on your back, so there's that. There's a nod to ventilation with the back panels. It's not nearly as effective as, say, my internal suspension Osprey pack, but at this price point, I don't expect it to be. I'll wear this for 15-20 minute walks, tops, and it's just not worth worrying too much about the fine details of pack design for that duration. Recommended.
