Title: Been looking for a cooler like this
Review: This ICEMULE cooler is tremendous. It keeps ice and drinks cold for at least a couple days, stores I. A fraction of the space, and is very stable on its base. I work in forestry, and I just use seat belt to secure this in my back seat. No leaks, no drama, just cold drinks and a good deal for a premium cooler

Title: This thing is a beast
Review: I researched many options and reviews before deciding on this one and I couldn't be more pleased. It's so much easier than hauling a large, heavy, cumbersome cooler. We took it to the beach and it kept our drinks cold all day. We'll never go back to a standard cooler.

Title: A backpack cooler that works! Warning will have to answer multiple questions about where you got this.
Review: Took this cooler to the beach for 4 days. First, let me say that a soft side cooler won't compare to a hard-side yeti. Second, in the full day sun on the beach it more than held its own. The backpack feature was a huge win. Seems super durable and able to handle all this family of 6 has to dish out. Warning, a fully loaded icemule is heavy (duh, a 24 pack of water is heavy also...) but the backpack is amazing. Note, you will receive a number of looks and questions as this versatile cooler just makes sense.I was a bit worried with the fold-down top closure. It did take some getting used to and the kids arent experts at closing it yet. Although, the fold down top actually makes it super easy to fill with drinks and ice and incredible to drain water after a full day in the sun.After 1 week of daily use, I'm so glad I chose this cooler. The backpack alone pushes it ahead of the yeti in my book.

Title: Worked but so heavy
Review: caution this is heavy without even being filled. It worked great for our hiking needs but was so heavy and rubber is noisy and hot when hiking with it.

Title: great backpack cooler
Review: I used the ICEMULE Pro backpack cooler on vacation at the beach. I loaded the cooler with pre-chilled drinks and then filled the ICEMULE Pro backpack cooler with the hotel ice machine. The backpack does end up getting heavy if you overload it. But for the not so far walk to the beach it was fine. I might want to buy another one for a family member to use so we can bring more to the beach next year.

Title: Great Quality, Well Made
Review: I got the XL and it holds a lot! I put 14 pounds of ice along with enough food and drinks for a family of 7 for a day trip to the beach. The shoulder straps are comfortable and the overall quality of the cooler is great.

Review: I got tired of carrying a bulky, boxy cooler to the beach every summer, and started researching cooler backpacks. I came across several brands that got positive reviews, with IceMule being one of the top rated products on Amazon and other outdoor sites. After comparing reviews/pros and cons, I ended up buying the large size IceMule Pro, and LOVE it. I've brought it to the beach every weekend this summer, and it holds a ton of ice, cans, and food. The padded straps and insulated back feel super comfortable while wearing, and the design elements make adjusting the fit very easy. The insulation is great, and keeps things ice cold even after opening/sealing the backpack multiple times on a scorching day. Highly recommend!

Review: 最近は2泊のキャンプをする事がないため〇ノーピークのソフトクーラを使っています。〇ノーピークの場合どのサイズでも横長の立方体でトップをファスナーで開けるため使い勝手は良いです。それに比べ、こちらのクーラーは縦長の円筒のため解放面積が少ない分保冷能力は高い気もしますが物が探しにくく形だと思いました。ペットボトルの飲料や、缶ビールなら問題ありませんが細々とした食材には向いてないと思います。また、購入の際はしっかりとサイズを確かめた方が良いです。最初の印象がカッコいいではなくデカイでした。背負える様になっていますが、それでも一人では重過ぎました。背負うよりも、転がすか二人で持つタイプの方が楽です。1泊のキャンプだと十分な保冷力ですし、人と被らないデザインは良いと思います。飲み物専用としてパツパツに入れないで使い続けたいと思います。※利用方法が良く判らない付属品がありますが　説明書がないため本体のみのレビューになります。≪追記≫頻度は少ないと思いますが雨天時に濡れたテントのフライかタープが入る大きさなので、付加価値もあると思いました。
