TOURIT 30-Can Insulated Cooler Backpack: the do-everything default
The TOURIT 30-can is the bag to buy if you want one cooler backpack that just works for most days out. Here's how to get the most from it.
Load it light, but load it full
At 500 g empty it rewards a full pack — air warms faster than a packed load. Pre-chill everything overnight, drop in two flat ice packs against the cans, and fill any gaps so cold air isn't sloshing around. Done right, sixteen hours is realistic.
Use the pockets to keep the cold zone cold
Every time you open the main compartment you let warmth in. Keep the things you reach for often — phone, keys, opener, cutlery — in the front and side pockets, and only open the insulated zone when you actually want a drink.
Keep it fresh
After a day out, wipe the welded liner, leave it open to air, and it won't pick up a musty smell. Hand wash the shell if it needs it; don't machine wash the whole bag.
