Hydro Flask20L Carry Out Soft Cooler - Insulated Travel Bag – Baltic

Use this for our food and drinks when we go fishing. Keeps ice very well and everything stays cold. Doesn’t take up too much space either and holds a lot!

I think this is a great cooler for the price. I didn't even know HydroFlask made coolers but unsurprisingly, like their other products, it's very sleek and looks great. I absolutely love the color (I got the light blue) and always get compliments. It seems to perform pretty well in the Texas heat, but keep in mind that I'm mostly using it for park, pool, or lake days (for maybe 3-6 hours at a time). I didn't really want / need anything super heavy duty, so in terms of performance, there might be better options for keeping stuff ice cold long-term, but for my needs it's been perfectly fine. I think $90 is super reasonable, considering similar sized ones (like the RTIC one) are $120+. IMO this HydroFlask one also looks much better than the RTIC and YETI ones, which both have obnoxiously huge logos. This one is simple, elegant, and understated - it looks even better in person than in the photos. Definitely no regrets!

This has turned out to be such a nice purchase! We were looking at other larger names brands, but decided to give this a shot as it’s a little bit cheaper. It’s a very nice quality and is insulated very well. The strap is comfortable and is easy to carry.

The color is perfect and there is so much room inside. Immediately purchased ice packs!

Bought "used - very good", item did not appear to have been used at all. $48.49 to my door.TLDR - Great all-around day trip cooler! 30 slim cans!This cooler fits the standard 14x14x14 max size for soft-sided coolers at NASCAR events, that's the first plus. I bought it to replace an RTIC Soft Pack 20 whose zipper seal tore and it couldn't be zipped closed anymore. I'm going to trim the seal on the RTIC and continue to use it.At first glance this Hydro Flask cooler seems thin and flimsy--and it is--but the rigid top makes a great armrest if you don't lean on it too hard (3 stars for sturdiness), and I was able to fit 30 (YES 30) slim cans into it with two Hello Fresh ice packs. The insulation is much thinner than Yeti or RTIC but doesn't seem to affect performance for a day trip. It's also VERY light when it's empty. The same can't be said about my RTIC. The rigid top also means there's a bit of extra room above the zipper. Probably could have fit four more slim cans into the cooler but I didn't for some reason. We ended up taking cans home that didn't get consumed, so no harm no foul. Cooler was packed up with cans from the fridge and the ice packs at 8:30 a.m. and when it was unloaded at around midnight the ice packs were still hard in the middle. The way it was packed, each can was making contact with the ice packs. The front pocket is useless for much more than a credit card, just like RTIC. The strap doesn't grip my shoulder too well, cross-body carrying required. If you're larger and can't cross-body carry, look elsewhere or upsize the strap. The strap isn't attached using D-rings, it uses sewn-on webbing loops. You could probably swap the strap and clip one on to the webbing but you'd need to add a carabiner to each side or engineer a quick solution.Hydro Flask makes some awesome insulated bottles, so I had high hopes for this. It did not disappoint. It will absolutely not be my multi-day camping cooler, but for a day trip cooler it's perfect. The nylon skin seems very durable. The inner skin is thinner (4 stars for durability) than the RTIC but with responsible use and keeping sharp items out of it, I think it'll be fine. I will not be crushing my cans and putting them back in the cooler. It's not waterproof like the RTIC so I recommend and will probably continue to use sealed ice packs instead of ice.

I bought two for my sons a year ago. Very sturdy

I was expecting more... it works. And I'll continue to use it but for the price there is a lot less insulation than I expected.

Good zippers, space and insulation.
