The fact that the cooler offers not one, but two big insulated pockets is a tremendous advantage. Not only will this feature allows you to arrange your provisions, but it also increases the bag’s versatility. One of the things we liked about this model is that it comes with many pockets.

Thanks to its generous storage capacity, the Engel cooler bag can accommodate up to 24 cans of drinks, just like the Hopper 30, albeit with a little less ice. The Engel cooler bag is a sturdy model that comes as an alternative to the YETI Hopper 30. Moreover, this model comes with a lifetime warranty, whereas the Roadie comes with a 5-year one. We don’t know if this system is bear-proof, but it definitely secures the lid when it closes.Ĭompared To YETI: The Pelican 20 offers mostly the same advantages as the YETI Roadie, even though it costs less. You simply have to push a button and you can open the latches. This cooler uses 2 latches that have a simple design. The molded handle offers a better grip, and it will make the cooler’s weight easier to carry. The YETI cooler comes with a metal handle whereas the Pelican uses a molded one. We liked the Elite’s handle better than the Roadies. This cooler can also keep your drinks cold for up to 3 days, so there are no significant differences between the two. And just like the Roadie, the Elite also has a durable rotomolded construction.Īs far as the cooler’s effectiveness is concerned, the Pelican Elite can go head to head with the Roadie. This model can hold up to 15 cans of drinks and enough ice to keep them cold for several days. The Pelican Elite 20 is a cooler similar to the YETI Roadie in both design and effectiveness. However, the TOURIT cooler comes at a much better price. Their interior linings are top-notch, they are durable, and they have low maintenance. Neither of these pockets is very large, but they’re spacious enough to accommodate eating utensils and small accessories or gadgets.Ĭompared To YETI: Both the TOURIT and the YETI coolers offer similar storage capacities and performances. As far as the unit’s cooling capacity goes, this model will keep your drinks cold for up to 3 days, probably slightly longer if you pack enough ice and keep it out of the sun.Īnother good thing about this model is that it comes with 2 dry storage pockets. You can fit up to 20 drink cans inside the cooler if you pack it properly, along with plenty of ice to keep them cool. The protective lining will keep the water inside the cooler from spilling out, but it will also prevent the warm air from leaking in.ĭespite its compact design, this model is actually very spacious. Moreover, this model comes with a high-quality zipper that has a protective lining. Both the walls of the cooler and its lid come with a lot of padding that will keep the warm air from entering the cooling compartment. One of the things we liked about this model is that it comes with thick insulation. This model has a similar build and design, and it can deliver similar performances while costing a fraction of the YETI’s price. The TOURIT 20-can cooler is a cheaper alternative to the YETI Hopper Flip 18. We were surprised to find that the HD30 will keep your drinks cold for a longer time than the Hopper TWO, so it’s actually the better cooler of the two. While the Hopper TWO has the better design especially due to its generous opening, the Engel HD is the more effective cooler.

This will make loading and unloading the cooler more difficult because you will probably need to keep a hand on the cooler’s side to stop it from closing.Ĭompared To YETI: The Engel HD30 is a good replacement for the YETI Hopper TWO. The only downside of using this cooler is that it has a somewhat narrow opening. The cooler’s top handles are sturdy, and the shoulder strap is adjustable and padded, making it very comfortable to use.


The cooler’s zipper is waterproof and it will keep the ice from melting while preventing the accumulated water to leak. This cooler is also very user-friendly and portable. Activating this valve will remove all the air in the insulated compartment, increasing the cooler’s performance. One feature that helps tremendously in this regard is the vacuum valve. Thanks to the cooler’s well-thought design and features, this model is capable of keeping your drinks cool for more than 4 days when you pack and store it correctly. We were really impressed by the cooler’s effectiveness. Despite its compact design, this model is actually very spacious, and it’s large enough to accommodate up to 24 drink cans along with 10 pounds of ice to keep them cool. The Engel HD30 is the perfect cooling solution for those who are looking for a soft-sided cooler.
