The folks at Yeti just unveiled a new, limited-production colorway that pays homage to coastline and crustaceans of the northwest with its King Crab Orange Collection. The rich orange shells of the venerable (and tasty)…

The folks at Clevr just found a way to make a beer-filled cooler that much more fun. They added a built-in foosball table into this big, red, and wheeled 68-quart cooler. It’s all housed in…
As Steven Universe has taught us, fusions are a good thing. Pelican agrees, which is why it’s combined a cooler and a bag to make the next best thing for any burly travelers out there. Especially those who can’t leave their beer cans behind.
Thus comes the Pelican Dayventure Cooler/Sling Bag. If you know Pelican, you’re already familiar with its topnotch storage solutions. Pelican’s products are must-haves for any outdoor nut, offering exception insulation, protection, weatherproofing, and excellent chill retention. Just to name a few, of course. With over four decades of expertise in the business, it took on a new challenge by creating a robust and durable cooler solution you can literally carry.
The Dayventure Sling, as it’s officially called, is perhaps not the most pleasant-looking cooler we’ve ever encountered. But looks, of course, aren’t everything. And if all you care about is functionality and reliability, aesthetic shouldn’t really be a problem, anyway. What it lacks in presentation, it makes up for in incredible utility. You get a lightweight pack that features durable, puncture-resistant materials. Not to mention a compression-molded base to maintain its capsule-like structure as you go about the country.
Among the other highlights include its leak-resistant, waterproof zipper enclosure. This should provide easy access to all the beverages you plan to lug with you on trips. The Pelican Dayventure Sling has space for up to four wine bottles and 12 cans, roughly 8.5 liters of overall storage. It’s pretty slick, and you can get one now by hitting the link below.
Most coolers you’ll see in picnics or tailgate parties are bulky, cumbersome containers. They’re sturdy, of course — that’s the whole point, anyway. Consider the Igloo Recool radically different.
It’s brown, has the texture of a cardboard egg tray, and instead of a hinge, it’s got a nesting lid. But perhaps the most important aspect here is that it’s completely biodegradable. Igloo designed the recool as an alternative to cheap styrofoam coolers commonly found at gas stations and grocery stores.
They’re great godsend backups if you forgot to bring your traditional cooler along for the trip. But styrofoam breaks easily, isn’t biodegradable, and they aren’t that good when it comes to regulating temperature. Add the fact that a growing number of cities and towns are making the material illegal.
The Igloo Recool cooler address all these kinks and offers an excellent, easy, and intuitive option. Especially if you don’t want to carry your massive cooler along. The molded pulp construction is much stronger than styrofoam, for starters. Bumps, crashes, jolts, sways — it’ll handle it. The Igloo Recool can carry a load of up to 75 pounds. It has a 16-quart capacity that’ll keep ice for up to 12 hours and hold water without leaking for five days straight.
And it isn’t immediately ruined afterward. Just dry it out and you can use it again. Sure, it’s not indestructible and will probably pare down after a couple of uses. But it’s good enough for everyday common cooler needs, especially if you need a quick, no frills solution.

Once in a while, it’s nice to get out of the urban jungle and unwind. You can go camping, to the beach, tailgating, or even just chill out in the great outdoors. Most of you would probably agree that nothing beats cracking open a cold one to beat the heat or just mellow down. Therefore, it is definitely a must to have a dependable cooler on standby for those unplanned excursions. While you’re at it, you might want to consider the Orca Liddup as your next best travel buddy.
First of all, unlike other brands, Orca offers a large number of color options for you to choose from. You have Grey, Navy, Seafoam, Light Blue, Green, Tan, and dare we say it even comes in pink. We agree that there are other choices available from other labels, but the Liddup keeps a neat feature that we didn’t even think would be handy in certain situations. The name itself is a hint as we discover that the cooler lights up from the inside.
It’s actually an interesting function that would be great when the sun goes down. It eliminates the need to grab a flashlight or your smartphone to illuminate the contents if its dark. This is a perfect solution when there’s little to no lighting available.
The Orca Liddup uses 4 AA batteries to power the LEDs that light up the inside. The 35-quart storage capacity gives you ample space for your beverage of choice. Cutting-edge insulation technology promises to keep your stuff nice and cold for up to 10 days. We just love how the box lights up upon opening, which looks like something out of a video game.

There are plenty of reasons why you should have a cooler at the ready. One, it’ll come in handy at tailgate parties. Two, you’ll have a stockpile of cold drinks during camping trips. Three, it’ll be perfect for solo travels or spontaneous road trips. Four, it’ll save you trips to the refrigerator during mini BBQs, and so forth. That’s why you should really consider the Homitt soft cooler.
Apart from having a design that’s a huge step-up over the more bland and conventional cooler choices out there, it can chill up to 30 of your favorite drinks. Its cooling powers is courtesy of the closed cell insulation system that’s three layers deep and leak-proof, with high-density foam for good measure.
Homitt’s wants to make it easier for people to lug this baby around. As such, it included padded detachable shoulder straps and two side handle straps. This lets you pick the cooler up (for light loads) or grab the side handles (for heavier ones) hassle-free.
The exterior is water and sweat resistant thanks to the TPU coating. On the other hand, the interior features an antimicrobial liner that prevents mold and mildew. Just don’t put sharp things inside to avoid rupturing the special protective materials. The cooler sports features an airtight zipper with a sealing process that ties into the overall waterproof design. It also lets hot air out to keep the drinks inside cool as long as possible.
There are also four plastic D rings near the bottom of the cooler, which allows you to tie it down for better stability — should be useful when travelling along bumpy roads.
The best part? It won’t burn a hole in your pocket — this thing is just $106 on Amazon.
