I love this cooler. I purchased it this past summer for a beach trip and loved how easy it was to use and clean. At the beach, I hate how sand gets in everything. This cooler has an opening on the top for quick and easy access so you don't have to open the entire cooler and get a bunch of sand in it. It also sprays down easily after each use. I honestly was surprised by how much stuff I could fit in this cooler. The front pocket is a lot larger than I anticipated, which I like. This cooler has not leaked on us. We have used ice packs and ice cubes and no water has leaked out. I have not timed how long our drinks stayed cold for, but I haven't experienced them getting warm while using this bag so that it is a good sign. If you are looking for a cooler that is perfect for travel, carries a lot, and is affordable, this is a good option.
