Unrivaled Innovation: The Rugged Road Advantage
The Tardigrade isn’t your average backpack cooler. Designed to be as rugged as it is functional, this backpack keeps your gear dry, your drinks cold, and your hands free.
Backpack Cooler and Dry Bag
Gone are the days of lugging around multiple bags to get your gear from point A to point B. The Tardigrade is built to function as both a cooler and a dry bag at the same time.
Drop your dry goods around the removable cooler insert and hit the road knowing you'll find your gear exactly how you left it.
Withstands the Elements
Whether the day’s adventure is as wild as a sub-zero morning fishing on the ice, or as mild as a rainy commute to the office, the Tardigrade will be your reliable companion every step of the way. The RigorTec™ exterior shell is puncture-proof, waterproof, and protects your contents from the elements - no matter the conditions.
Magnetic Seal
Tardigrade’s PolarSnap™ system features a hidden magnetic seal embedded in both the drybag lining and the cooler insert. When you drop the insert into an empty Tardi, it automatically snaps shut — no zippers, clasps, or fiddling required. It’s a small detail that makes a big impact: sealing in the cold, keeping out the elements, and delivering a seamless, hassle-free experience every time.
Stands Upright, Empty or Packed
The Tardigrade holds its shape whether it’s empty or fully loaded, thanks to its reinforced base and smart structural design. No slouching, collapsing, or tipping—just rock-solid stability that makes packing, unpacking, and grabbing gear effortless. It stays put and stands tall, no matter where the adventure takes you.
Removable Cooler Insert
The removable cooler insert can be used inside the Tardigrade as a cooler backpack, or removed and used on its own.
Heads Up technology keeps the cooler upright, so it can sit with you to keep your drink cold and closeby - no matter the terrain.
