YETI Hopper Flip 12 Soft Cooler

I bought this Yeti cooler for my husband’s lunchbox, and it has been worth every penny! Yes, it’s a bit of an investment, but the quality and performance are unmatched. It keeps his food and drinks cold all day, even during long shifts, and the durable construction ensures it can handle daily use without a problem. The size is perfect—not too bulky, but spacious enough for everything he needs. It’s easy to clean, and the design is sleek and rugged. If you’re looking for a reliable cooler that truly delivers on its promise, this is the one!They give you a Chapstick like wax to rub on the zipper, which I highly recommend doing and it keeps your zipper from sticking. The product is easy to use and keeps your zipper from locking up. He loves his lunch box

I have many Yeti coolers but this is my first soft sided one. Like all of my others it is the best. Some helpful hints-Take Yeti's suggestions seriously about pre chilling the cooler. Throw an ice pack in there overnight or a tray of ice cubes. Pre chilling really extends the life of your ice. Also critical is not leaving space in the cooler. If you are not packing it full then throw a towel in there. I use bubble wrap which works great. Do not waste ice trying to cool empty space!To the zipper critics - I hear you. But I believe that if you are having trouble zipping the zipper then you are not using it correctly. This is a Y shaped anchor zipper. It is meant to wrap two fingers around. If you just try to pinch and pull it like a regular zipper you will suffer. Also you need to make sure it zips ALL the way to the end. The last inch is a pain but critical to keep air out. Lastly, the cooler comes with zipper lube. There is no better time to lube the zipper then when you first receive it because the teeth are nice and clean.Destroying a Yeti cooler is almost impossible and it has the best insulation. You get what you pay for.

Heavy duty zipper and holds temp all day. Yes it’s expensive but you get what you pay for.

This is our 2nd one so we can have them at 2 different locations. We use them to take them to the beach for some drinks and snacks. It is a little tough to zip but that’s great quality to keep your stuff cold which it definitely does!!

This cooler is so sturdy and keeps food and drinks cold for hours! Worth every cent!!

Love it works great

I use this cooler weekly to transport raw sushi. The cooler is loaded as follows. Yeti ice first then a towel then the fish wrapped in waterproof butchers paper, then top off bagged crushed ice. Leave very little dead space. The entire cooler can be refrigerated if needed after transporting and the meat kept at 32 degrees for several days if necessary.The method of packing raw fish in ice is common in the raw fish industry.Besides this use I have other Yeti hoppers for day use on the beach mid summer. Again bottom has yeti blue ice food in the middle and a small blue ice on top.I had a zipper fail on one of the earlier hopper models which was replaced with a newer model with the improved zipper. It works smoother and the common problem of the zipper teeth getting twisted at the corners has been addressed. I lube the zipper with the silicone lube and clean the zipper with ethanol if is becomes sticky and reapply the lube.

Expensive, but high quality. Heavy duty zipper. Keeps things cold.
