We made finding the right size and type of cooler tote easy for you by pairing our recommended styles with popular Summer destinations. Check out our handy graphic to find the best insulated cooler to help you chill out this season!
1. Heading to the beach or pool?
We recommend: The New Horizons Tote + Clear Clip Pouch The tote will hold your beach towels, book and other “stuff” which the clear clip pouch can keep your suntan lotion from melting in the heat. I love the canvas fabric on the tote which is also a great solution when hitting the farmer’s markets or flea markets this summer. The washable fabric makes it easy to care for if it gets dirty.
OTHER GREAT OPTIONS!
- Adjustable Sling Backpack: carry essentials hands-free!
- Fresh Market® Thermal: holds ice to keep food & drinks cold! This large thermal is also a great way to see your ice cream from melting on the way home from the grocery store. Pack all of your frozen items in it with the refrigerator items on top and your will be surprised how solid the freezer items still are when you get home even on the hottest days.
2. Off to the office?
We recommend: Thermal Tote OR Around the Clock® Thermal . Not sure which one to pick, it all depends on what you take for lunch. A visual is a “6-pack” will fit in the Around the Clock Thermal with some room to spare. The Thermal Tote is great for the kids for their school lunches.
