Why Buy a YETI Soft Cooler?

Hard coolers are amazing. There’s a reason you see them at the campsite, beach, and sporting events. But sometimes, a soft cooler is a better choice.

Because of their shape and ability to compress a bit, soft coolers can be easier to pack in your car, truck, or boat. They are also often smaller in size (30 quarts and below), making them easier to carry by yourself. Plus, the Hopper Two 30 comes with a detachable shoulder strap that allows you to carry the soft cooler and your other gear simultaneously.

YETI Hopper Two 30: A Good Cooler Gets Better

We reviewed the Hopper 30 — YETI's second iteration of its famed soft-sided cooler. It comes with upgrades to thermal performance and accessibility, all the while maintaining the same durable qualities YETI is known for. Read more…

Though it has soft sides, it’s still durable. YETI uses a DryHide exterior that resists punctures, abrasions, and mildew. Plus, it’s waterproof and won’t leak.

YETI claims it will hold 20 cans with about 20 pounds of ice. The Hopper Two also holds a good amount of food that can cover a weekend of camping, depending on what you need to keep cold on your next outing.

The ColdCell Insulation is made of closed-cell rubber foam that’s designed to hold in the cold longer. In the long run, that will help save money in your ice budget.
