These Editor-Loved Coolers and Tumblers From Yeti, Coleman, and More Keep Drinks Cold for Days, From $20

We’ve rounded up editor-loved and shopper-approved picks from brands like Yeti, Stanley, Hydro Flask, CamelBak, REI, and more.

Grab one of our favorite tumblers, water bottles, and can koozies — your summer is covered.

Best Heavy-Duty Coolers

Whether you’re planning a backdoor party, gathering friends for a weekend off the grid, or dedicating the entire day to exploring outside, a heavy-duty cooler is a prerequisite. Wheel the Coleman 316 series cooler over to your campsite or toss the mini Igloo Tag Along Too cooler in the backseat.

RTIC Ultra-Light Hard Cooler

$229 at Amazon

This hefty RTIC cooler may have a hard shell, but it’s one of the more lightweight coolers we’ve tested, and it quickly became our top choice overall. With the right amount of ice, you can count on the contents staying chill for up to a week, but one shopper reports that while ice melted after sitting in their truck bed for two weeks, “The water is still freezing cold.” Another happy camper shared that after a seven-day trip, they only needed to swap out the ice once. The cooler’s built-in drainage is just another benefit, allowing you to lighten your load at the end of the trip.

Yeti Roadie 60 Wheeled Cooler

$475 at Yeti

This hefty Yeti cooler is part of the brand’s Roadie collection, designed to take you from point A to point B without dinging any cans or running out of breath. The wheeled cooler arguably glides around more smoothly than my run-down suitcase, and it can also keep nearly 100 cans ice cold for hours. One shopper considers the Yeti Roadie 60 their go-to tailgating cooler thanks to its telescoping handle and bonus seat when it’s closed. You’ll stay cool all summer long with our favorite Yeti cooler on wheels by your side. 

Best On-the-Go Coolers and Totes

If you’re heading out on a solo trip or just looking for enough insulated space for a few sandwiches, there are backpack coolers, insulated tote bags, and fold-up coolers that can join in on your adventure with icy beverages. You can keep your hands free with the Yeti Hopper M20 backpack cooler and easily rock the stylish Hydro Flask insulated cooler backpack even when you’re not hiking.

Hydro Flask Carry Out Soft Cooler Pack

$132 at Amazon

Water will stay icy in Hydro Flask tumblers, and the brand works the same magic with its lightweight Carry Out cooler that you can swing right over your back. We’ve tested dozens of soft coolers, and this one works wonders for far more than just beverages. There are dozens of pockets of all shapes and sizes, perfect for bottles of wine or leakproof food storage containers of the day’s snacks — guaranteed to stay cold for at least an entire day.

Yeti 20-Liter Daytrip Insulated Tote Bag

$175 at Yeti

Finding the ultimate summer bag isn’t a simple task, at least not when you’re looking for something lightweight, fast-drying, easy on the eyes, and insulated. The Yeti Daytrip tote bag is big enough to fit all the picnic essentials comfortably, but not too large that it’s a pain to lug through trails. This Yeti insulated bag is an editor favorite of ours and the perfect road trip companion.

Yeti 12-Ounce Colster Can Insulator 

$25 at Amazon

For days when your beverage comes in its own vessel, you can still protect it from the beating sun with a clever koozie, and this Yeti is our favorite of the assortment we tested. Grab the Yeti Colster can insulator to trap the condensation and keep your beach beers nice and refreshing all afternoon. Don’t worry about taking routine jaunts down to the shoreline or spending some time watching the grill — your drink will be just as cold when you return. As one shopper said, this can insulator is “built for the trails and the deck.”

CamelBak Thrive Chug Insulated Stainless Steel Water Bottle

$31

$23 at Amazon

CamelBak’s signature chug lid is a big selling point here for easy sipping on the move, but the leakproof closure and cold retention are enough for Amazon shoppers to declare it the “perfect water bottle.” The 25-ounce insulated bottle will keep you hydrated wherever you are, regardless of the temperature. Shoppers routinely praise CamelBak for keeping their water ice cold, even for days. “Stays cold; ice from last night’s match has not melted,” shared one happy buyer. A second shopper confirmed its power, “Doesn't leak and holds onto cold temps for over 10 hours.”
