Great cooler!!!!

The cooler is very light. It appears to be very well made and durable. Love that the top can be removed and flipped over to use the drink holders.

Love this thing!!

It’s awesome. As someone that drives a small car with minimal space. This cooler is so compact and the fact the walls are so thin is a game changer when packing for 2-3 people.
