AO Coolers Caravan Canvas Soft Cooler with High-Density Insulation and Oversized Storage Pockets

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.

This bag is my favorite of all the bags I’ve had over the past 20 years. Keeps food cold. Has plenty of storage space. Easy to travel with this bag for long multi day trips. Love this bag.

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.

UPDATE 10-2024: I've had two of these bags now and they have held up reasonably well, but if used daily like me, the main zipper will die (a beefier zipper would be a welcome improvement). The good news is, you can return the bag to AO Cooler (you pay shipping to them, they pay shipping back to you) and they will install a new zipper (and interior lining if needed) for $15. .. These bags also work well to bring home frozen items from the store.I work for the railroad and I've been using the 24-pack AO Cooler as an overnight lunch bag for several months now. Keeps everything cold for my two-day trips (using freezer packs and pre-frozen foods). It's holding up well. I carry 1gal of water plus glass containers of frozen food = heavy. No problems with the zippers or the handle so far (though I wish the carry handle had some padding). The full-width side pockets are indespensible - love the side pockets!Going to get a bigger one for road trips. Highly recommend.PS: I was concerned the 24-pack size might be too big for use as a lunch bag, but it's not. I'm glad I didn't get the smaller size.

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.

保冷性能は、今まで買ったソフトクーラーの中でも最強です。保冷剤を入れてもあまり重くならないので、飲み物を長時間運ぶ時にお勧めです。

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

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。
