Cooler Question

A co-worker of mine came to me asked me to if there was Yeti backpack cooler. She said husband said something about wanting it for fathers day. I have not heard of this before so to Google, I went searching. I found a cycle company called yeti that makes a backpack but it did not look like you could use as a cooler. I did not find any thing on Yeti site but thought the yeti hopper could be worn as a backpack but didn't see an examples of that. I did find this:

Was wondering does anybody have experience using it?

or any other suggestions?

    I would look at Polar Bear coolers, they have a backpack version.  I have their 48 can model, it is a great cooler.  They have 2 for 1 deals around Christmas.

    I have not heard of a Yeti backpack cooler.  Yeti does have a soft cooler called the hopper but I haven't seen a backpack version. 

    Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

    The Yeti Hopper looks like a purse, not a backpack. I used to have a soft sided cooler that looked like a carry-on bag with the extending handle and wheels and it also had straps to wear it like a backpack. It was very uncomfortable as a backpack so I never used it like that.

    I have the Engel backpack cooler as well.  Perfect for beach trips - sling cooler on your back and you have both hands free to carry other beach items!  Check out this link for info -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CeMd0DioV5A

    I could be wrong but I've heard a few negative comments on the hopper.. Nothing but praise on their rotomolded coolers of course but the softsided cases at yeti pricing, i might look closely at the competition mentioned by others

    Another fan of Polar Bear here.  Great product and when purchased during the 2 for 1 sale a great deal. I use the 12 and 24 case regularly to carry my lunch n beverages along with grocery store runs.  The 12 fits in the saddle bag of my motorcycle.  My son has the backpack model which he likes.

    Ordered the Rtic Softpak 30 yesterday.   Apparently, production has caught up and mine is supposed to ship by July 13th.   Looks like a solid cooler.

    I really like 31 thermals. I have 3 different sizes, one is the picnic thermal tote which could fit inside a backpack. They have some patterns that aren't too girly.
