If you're like me, you make several trips to the cooler. I remember going to grab a drink from a cooler with nothing but water left inside. These coolers are great because the ice will last for several days.
YETI is well known for its ice retention ability. I'm a huge fan of this brand because of their great reputation and stylish design sense. This cooler is pretty durable and can fit a nice amount of items.

I'm a huge fan of the style of these backpacks. They look compact enough but don't be fooled by that. The really cool thing about these bags is that you can fit so much into them.
