Amazon Basics 24-Can Cooler Backpack: the simple everyday cooler
The Amazon Basics 24-can is the bag for ordinary days — lunches, a few drinks, a quick trip out. Here's how to get the best from a deliberately simple cooler.
Make the wide mouth work for you
The broad opening is the whole appeal: pack it in one go, and at the end of the day fold it back and wipe the foil lining clean while you can see every corner. That habit alone keeps it fresh for years.
One good ice pack goes a long way
Because it's a compact space, a single well-frozen ice pack against the contents keeps a lunch cold for a normal working day. Pre-chill the food and you'll rarely need more.
Two ways to carry
Wear it on the walk, then grab the top handle to lift it the last few feet from car to picnic table — no need to shrug it on and off for short moves.
