Travel with Soft-Sided Coolers

Whether picnicking, hiking, fishing, or camping, a soft-sided cooler is a must-have for keeping snacks and cool drinks at hand. Soft-sided coolers and cooler bags are lightweight and easy to carry virtually anywhere, weighing little more than what’s stored inside. While not as big, soft insulated cooler bags are generally more affordable than hard coolers and easy to clean and store after use.

Choosing the Right Soft-Sided Cooler for You

When searching for soft-sided cooler bags, look for a variety of different features, including:

  • High-density fabric that's waterproof, mildew-resistant, and puncture-resistant.
  • Liners made from FDA-approved, food-grade material.
  • Deep external front pockets that provide additional storage.
  • Padded shoulder straps that offer comfortable hands-free carrying.

You may be looking for the right lunch bag cooler for the kids, or maybe you're searching for a small beach bag cooler to take your oceanside lounge session to the next level. Whatever it is, answering these simple questions can help you find the right soft cooler for you.

How Long Should Your Cooler Keep Things Cold?

Some insulated cooler bags, like mini coolers, are ideal for one-day excursions and short-term activities. Others can keep things cold for days. Some insulated cooler bags also have internal compartments that store both chilled and non-chilled items. Before making a purchase, make sure the cooler you choose will keep your food and beverages cold for as long as you need.

How Big Should Your Soft Cooler Be?

When picking the size you need, keep in mind what activities you’re most likely to partake in. A smaller cooler tote bag may be ideal for a day hike with your significant other, whereas a more sizable cooler is great for larger outdoor gatherings.

Soft-sided coolers come in multiple sizes and are usually measured by how many cans they can hold for convenient visualization. Mini cooler bags typically store up to 12 standard cans, while large soft-side coolers can store close to 45 cans. Filter your options above to narrow down your choices.

What Carrying Method Do You Prefer?

Cooler bags may come with basic handles or straps that make them easy to carry across the shoulder. Smaller soft cooler bags come in backpack-style designs suitable for rigorous activities like hiking, jogging or lengthy outdoor outings.
