If you’re heading to the beach or park for the day, going out hiking trails, on a boat, or attending a sporting event, it’s a good idea to have drinks and food to keep hydrated and nourished. And a cooler that keeps these items cold should definitely be on the top of the list to bring along. While you can drag one behind that has rollers or lug around one that has a handle, a better option is a backpack cooler.

Looking for a great one? Right now, a shopper-favorite option is available for over 30% off its original price at Amazon.
