Peak summer temps may be behind us, but there’s plenty of cooler season left. In fact, cold snacks and dry goods are popular year-round.
No matter the season or activity — whether watching a sunset, reaching the peak of a mountain, or simply enjoying the outdoors — ICEMULE Coolers believes memories are made even more special with a cold drink in hand.
From single-person daypacks to big haulers with foam insulation, ICEMULE backpack coolers use waterproof materials to keep ice, drinks, and snacks cool inside. And when the weather acts up, the coolers can act as dry bags to protect clothes and valuables from the elements, according to the brand.
You can wear some of them like a sling, and others have a backpack harness to hold things close and secure on your day’s journey. But the brand designed all of them keep to your drinks and snacks cool — and support good times along the way.

Classic Mini 9L
This personal-size version of the Classic uses all the same materials as the larger members of the Classic family. A single shoulder sling strap lets you saddle up and take your cold kit everywhere. Keep lunch and drinks cool in its 9L capacity, or fill it with ice and haul up to 10 cans.
Classic Small 10L
The 10L size of the Classic can hold 12 cans with ice. This size should work for personal use and for keeping drinks and snacks cool for a few friends.
Jaunt 9L
The backpack-style carrying straps of the Jaunt let you keep the bag, and its contents, close to your body while on the move. Consider this when hauling cool contents to a picnic, a day trek, or jaunting about town.
The walled bag keeps 10 cans chilled on ice inside and has an outer zippered pocket for valuables.
Jaunt 15L
The Jaunt’s construction includes a layer of insulating foam for hours of cooling up to 16 cans with ice or 25 without. You can also use the waterproof and puncture-resistant exterior as a dry bag to protect your valuables from the elements, ICEMULE says.
The outer pocket zips shut and can hold essentials like keys and a wallet away from ice and drinks inside.
R-Jaunt 20L
A more sustainability-minded take on the existing Juant, the R-Jaunt Cooler is built from recycled PET fabric to reduce plastic waste and save energy.
ICEMULE says the 20L size can haul 22 cans on ice and keep them cold for hours thanks to the Jaunt’s insulating foam layer. The compact design and simple straps make it portable for day trips, picnics, and other outdoor activities where you want to carry drinks and snacks.
The roll-top closure allows for easy access to all that’s inside, and there’s an exterior pocket for securing other small items.
Pro Large 23L
The Pro Large 23L can haul up to 24 cans on ice and secure items on the outside, like a beach towel or sweatshirt. Backpack straps with a sternum strap show this pack is serious about carrying such weight. It could come in handy for shorter journeys or just showing up to the tailgate with drinks to spare, the Pro Large 23L is a round cooler dedicated to keeping things cool.
Pro XL 33L
With a 32-can-plus-ice capacity, this pack cooler lets you carry plenty of food and drinks along with you. And with the ability to carry hefty weight, according to the brand, the Pro XL 33L could potentially even help you pack meat out of the backcountry. It has all the functions of smaller sizes, but let this Realtree pattern serve as a reminder that hunting season is still cooler season.
BOSS
The ICEMULE BOSS took top honors as the best overall backpack cooler in our 2023 roundup.
Beyond the multiday ice retention, this oversized cooler backpack has a suspension system and lots of options for dry storage in outside pockets and straps.
Our reviewer praised the pack’s “double-padded mesh shoulder straps and hip pads plus an adjustable hip belt and sternum strap. The pack has a burlier build for rugged adventures: It can handle being strapped down to a whitewater raft or canoe.”
Sports Bottle
Although not a cooler per se, this bottle is still chill. Made of Pro Grade stainless steel, it’s built to withstand the toughest of activities and fits standard cupholders so it can come along on your everyday adventures. The vacuum insulation technology can keep drinks cold for up to 24 hours, according to the brand.
The built-in straw lid adds ease of use while the nonslip silicone bottom should help keep it from slipping on slick surfaces.
