2 Compartment Tote Cooler
Two insulated halves in one bag. The two compartment cooler lets you keep things apart without carrying two coolers.
Both Sides of This Two Compartment Cooler Are Insulated
Worth being clear, because people assume one side is a dry compartment. It is not. Both compartments are insulated and leak-proof.
So the split is not cold-versus-dry, it is cold-versus-cold. Which is more useful than it sounds: drinks on one side and food on the other, so nobody is rummaging through sandwiches to find a drink. Or the kids' drinks separate from the adults'.
Two Compartment Cooler Capacity
Up to 40 cans or 24 bottles in total — roughly 20 cans or 12 bottles per side, plus ice.
Flat dimensions are about 20.5 x 13 x 3.5 inches and it weighs 1.6 lb empty. It packs flat when it is not in use, which a hard cooler does not.
Storage on the Outside
Two front pockets and a large zip pocket on the back. That is where the phone, keys and sunscreen go, so you are not opening the cold side to get at them — which is the fastest way to lose your ice.
About the Ice Claim
Geckobrands publish "12+ hours", and they hedge it themselves — it varies with how much ice you put in, how often you open it, and how hot the day is.
We will print their figure and their hedge and nothing more. You will see wilder numbers attached to soft coolers all over the internet; this is what the maker actually stands behind.
Two things genuinely extend it: pre-chill the cooler before you load it, and fill the air space. A half-empty cooler is mostly warm air, and warm air melts ice.
For a Group Paddle
This is the one to take when there are four of you. It is coated polyester rather than a hard shell, so it squashes into a tankwell or a hatch in a way a rigid cooler will not, and it packs flat for the drive home once it is empty.
