The ICEMULE backpack cooler is a nice addition to our families' gear for active outdoor and traveling getaways. I do not use this directly, my wife primarily, but have benefited from that use, adding 1 or 2 drinks for me with the items she packs.

It feels light to me when empty or full, and she says it is also easy to use and retains ice well, her experience has been over a day, of warm weather and traveling, though not in direct sun. What I find useful and of good design is that you can inflate the bag somewhat, not sacrificing internal storage space, and adding to the insulating properties of the bag, as well as making it somewhat buoyant. While we weren't swimming, we did happen to drop the bag in a pool by mistake and it was floating a bit, comfortably by the look of it, before we got someone to get it and the drinks out.

We've had this bad since July and I will update any new findings. It has served us well during light trails near Big Sur and touring at Hearst Castle. In that time, I would easily recommend this as a simple, no-frills cooler backpack. Thanks for reading.

Got this for almost half the price on prime day and I have to say it might be the best purchase. I’ve made this year so far. My boyfriend was sick and tired of trying to pull a heavy cooler in the sand. What a pain in the ass. Sounds like a good idea but then when you’re actually there, dredging it through the sand, you realize those wheels are not really gonna roll. They gave me the idea to look for a backpack cooler since we don’t really take too much. I happen to see this on prime day and the reviews were great so I thought I’d give it a try and I’ll tell you what, it keeps everything ice cold the ice still stays frozen three hours later there’s still Ice . I mean, I’m not gonna lie a lot of it turns to water, but I don’t even know if it’s possible for that not happen anyway, this thing looks pretty durable. I’ve used it only two times so far but I am a happy camper. I love my beach access and this now makes it easier for me to take quick trips.

Generally speaking, this was a great cooler. It's the first of this type that we've purchased (all of our others are the hard, box type), and worked well for what we needed it for... a tropical vacation where we wanted the ability to bring our own drinks to the beach. Below are the pros and cons of the IceMule:

PROS:
- Awesome to pack in a suitcase. I was able to roll this up and place it along one side in my suitcase. This is simply not something you can do with a "regular " cooler.
- Quality. While we've only used it for the one trip, it seems really well made. I expect it to last for years.
- Keeps things cold. While it didn't keep things cold as long as we expected (it worked for the day, but by the next morning, all of the ice had melted and the water wasn't that cold anymore), it definitely worked for our purposes.
- Design/look: Pretty easy and comfortable to carry on your shoulder.

CONS:
- Not a lot. I really like the cooler. I guess the only thing I was a little disappointed about was that we filled it with ice and drinks about noon one day. Ice was partially melted that evening, and totally melted by the next morning. Maybe that's the norm. I just expected some magical freezer like effect I guess ;).

If you're looking for a collapsible cooler, this one is great. So much less expensive than some other brands (you know the one I'm talking about), but works well, is easy to carry and even easier to pack, and based on what I can tell in owning one for a short time, is well made.

I purchased this bc I travel for work and do not like to eat fast food all the time. When I fly into a new city my first stop is a grocery store in my way to my hotel. It's easy enough to store my items in the hotel fridge but I needed a cooler I could pack in my suitcase for when I check out of a hotel in the morning and my food has to sit in a hot rental car all day while in I'm a production plant. This means I tend to check out around 7 am and it may be 7 pm before I am at my next hotel to put my food in the fridge. Before I used it the first time I did a test at home putting just a bag of ice from the gas station in it and putting it in my husband hot truck while it was 105 F outside. That test did not go well and I have to admit I was disappointed. Understanding a little about thermodynamics I decided to sacrifice some yogurt and fruit to the heat gods and see if I filled it up if it would perform better. THAT WAS THE TRICK! I put ice on the bottom, the yogurt, fruit, and three bottles of water then filled with ice the rest of the way to the point I could fold the top over twice. Then I blew up the valve, sealed and put it back in the truck. Outside it was 105 F so who knows how hot it was in the truck!! I left it for 16 hours and when I opened her up everything was super cold! The bottom of it did condensate some and so the floor was wet where it had been sitting. A few weeks later I got to put it to the test. I went to AZ where it was 117 F out and I left it in my rental car trunk for 10 hours. Everything made it just fine!!! So I don't know if some of the negative reviews were because the people did not fill it up all the way or what. I've now used it 7 times for a full week each time. Each time it's packed very snuggly into my suitcase and then pulled out at location. Then toted around my hotel and rental car all week and I have had zero issues with it getting torn up at all. I would purchase again for sure!! I've paid $30 and $45 dollars for much less of a cooler before.

Just what I wanted for days out, the size is perfect for drinks and snacks for one or two. I have a bigger version of this pack and can’t recommend them enough, ice does remain solid inside for 12 hours + without melting, I haven’t tested it for longer periods yet, and it is very comfortable to carry. Despite being quite pricey when including shipping from the States I wouldn’t consider any other now because it delivers on all front. Another plus point my ICEMULE arrived well ahead of schedule in time for the heatwave :))
