There are some adventures where we just want to grab our stuff and go. That’s where the Hopper comes in. It’s the first 100% leakproof portable cooler. We’ve engineered it the way we do everything — to keep ice for days and be tough as nails. So don’t call it a soft cooler — it’s anything but. The Hopper is loaded with features you won’t find on any other cooler and built to go the extra mile, whether that’s down a wild river in a kayak or on a floatplane trip to a remote salmon stream.
DryHide Shell The Hopper’s high-density fabric is waterproof and resistant to mildew, punctures, and abrasion. The liner is made from a FDAapproved food-grade material.
ColdCell Insulation Closed-cell foam offers far superior cold-holding to ordinary soft coolers.
HydroLok Zipper We borrowed from survival suits and hazmat protective gear to make the ultimate waterproof, airtight closure.
Tie-Down Points Six D-ring tie-down points give you multiple ways to secure the Hopper.
HitchPoint Grid Easily attach pretty much anything to your Hopper. Bottle openers, carabiners, or accessories like the YETI SideKick Gear Case.
Double-Stitched Carry Options With a detachable shoulder strap and three different sets of reinforced handles, you’ve got options on how to make the load easier to carry.

Pricey, but worth the money. While pricey, this cooler is pretty insane. It does a great job of keeping things inside cold, even in direct sun. Zippers are great and don’t leak even the slightest. I got the Hopper 30 which holds a good amount of stuff, and gets pretty heavy when packed to the max. I bought it for my parents as a gift, but if I were buying for myself I would wait for a sale on it. No regrets on buying even at full price though.
The zipper is very sturdy and still slides smoothly Items stay frozen nearly the whole weekend with 2 yeti 4lb ice blocks. However, the ice blocks do take up about 1/2 the space. After two summers of use, the handles are still very securely attached. The zipper is very sturdy and still slides smoothly.
