54 cans and 4 bottles in the bag. Sounds like the makings of a great song, and there is plenty to be humming about with this cooler.
Up to 4 pounds of ice and the PEVA material keep everything nice and cold for 24 hours. When the ice starts melting, there is no need to panic as this cooler is leakproof.
An extra pocket on the outside provides a great hidey-hole for your cell phone or any other accessory you want to take with you.

Floating Cooler
Whether you’re at the beach, pool, or river, this cooler will add fun and convenience to your outing. The inner chamber holds up to 12 cans whilst floating in your midst.
That gives you more time in the water rather than having to go back to the shore for a drink.
Handles on the side as well as a rope allow you to carry or tow this cooler along the water. Three air chambers keep everything from tipping over and if there is a leak the included repair kit soon fixes that problem.
A zippered lid keeps the coolness trapped inside the center chamber.
This may become your new best floatable friend.
Coleman Soft Cooler Bag
Have you ever opened up an older cooler bag and were shocked to find mold and mildew inside? Kiss goodbye to that problem with this cooler bag from Coleman.
The antimicrobial liner keeps those nasties away.
It only fits 9 cans, which is at the lower end of cooler bags on this list. However, the outer pockets allow you to store those extras that you need to enjoy a relaxing munch by the water.
Heat-welded seams prevent the melted ice from leaking out so that everything inside stays nice and cool (and wet).

When everything is over and done with and you have returned home, this cooler can be folded and stored away until your next excursion.
Arctic Zone Titan Deep Freeze Zipperless Hardbody Cooler
This cooler bag looks tough and it is. If you’re into extreme adventures the exterior can stand up to any abrasion and is puncture-proof.
A removal shelf allows you to separate the heavier food and drink items from those that are prone to be squashed.
The shoulder strap can be adjusted so that your back doesn’t feel the strain as you hike or walk to your destination. If it’s a long journey, that’s fine as this bag keeps your ice cool for 2 days.
Enjoy your trip and don’t worry about the food. It’s being taken care of.

The padded shoulder straps make this a dream to carry when the inside is fully laden with your food and drinks. The exterior fabric is tear- and scratch-resistant as well as lightweight so you won’t be getting tired while making your way to your favorite spot by the water.
You can fit 30 cans inside the bag. 2 outside zipper pockets offer extra storage and there is also a couple of mesh pockets to stuff even more onto this backpack.
A beer opener and place for your cell phone on the strap means that you’re all set to go!

You have the option of carrying it by hand or using the detachable shoulder straps. It’s all a matter of what style you prefer at the time.
