Our verdict

A hands free backpack cooler with thick foam insulation and a tough welded shell for hikes and beach days. Ice retention is not given in hours, so plan on topping up ice on long outings.

Overview

A thick MaxCold Ultra foam lining wraps the main compartment of the Igloo Trailmate backpack cooler to hold the chill, while a welded, coated polyester shell resists dirt, sand and water. Padded straps carry it hands free.

Carrying drinks and food on your back frees the hands for gear on the walk to a trail spot or beach. The listing never states how long ice lasts, so the insulation claim cannot be checked against a number.

Who it's for

Day hikers, beach trips and tailgates where the cooler must be walked a distance suit it well. Multi day campers should choose a hard cooler built for extended ice life.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Hands free carry with padded straps
  • Thick foam insulation
  • Welded shell resists sand and water
  • Wide opening main compartment
Cons
  • Ice retention time not listed
  • Heavy on the back when full
  • Leakproof rating not stated

Performance notes

Cold holding depends on the foam thickness and how often the lid opens, since each opening lets warm air in. Pre chilling the bag and packing ice on top stretches cooling time. The welded seams and coated fabric block splashes and sand from outside.
