CleverMade Cooler Backpack
When toting a lot of gear around having to carry a cooler in your hand, can sometimes feel like one more burden. We bought this backpack cooler after a vacation with a friend who had the same one. It has plenty of room for lunch on the go and pockets to hold all the extras! We took this to the beach and by the end of the day, we still had cold food.
