The YETI Hopper Flip weighs only 5.1 lbs and given the features above the cooler strikes the perfect combination of longevity, ice retention, and lightness.īut cans should not be your only consideration factor when comparing capacity, you will be putting bottles in your cooler too.Īnd since YETI Hopper Flip 18 is 16.25″ wide, it can take 1 L of soda bottle (when placed horizontally), YETI Hopper Flip 12 on the other hand is only 12 5/8″ wide therefore it’s not possible to put 1 L of Bottle neither horizontally nor vertically. YETI Hopper Flip 18 features a Dryhide shell which is basically a very durable, mold-resistant material, and the liner is also made of FDA-approved food-grade material in order to keep your food in the cooler without any concern.ĭue to its cold cell technology, it offers roughly 40 hours of ice range (40 hours is an approximate ice range, it actually depends on many factors).

A common misunderstanding is people think Flip 18 can carry 18 cans but actually it can take 20 cans, and it’s light enough carry by hanging on your neck, when it’s full it might be hard to carry by one person but for that, it has two handles on each side, so you can divide the load with your partner. And YETI Hopper coolers are loved more than the other soft coolers in YETI’s line by the community.Īnd YETI Hopper Flip 18 especially is the optimum cooler for 2 to 4 person, one or two-day trips.

It’s made of waterproof 840-denier double-sided thermoplastic urethane, which is an extremely durable material for a soft cooler, you can throw it from a moving vehicle it wouldn’t break.Īnd thanks to this material and its Hydrolok Zipper, the cooler is extremely waterproof, if you’re planning a fishing or kayaking trip, it won’t allow water to get inside or melted ice leak through the zipper.

Even though it depends on what you prefer to carry in your cooler, this capacity should be enough for at least two-person, but don’t expect the cooler to be keeping your beverages cool for a couple of days, since it’s a soft cooler, ice starts to melt after the day one, but it’s more than enough for daily trips. With a 2:1 ice to can ratio, it can take 13 cans.

When you need a small, soft-sided cooler that’s durable enough for years of use, and that is light enough to carry around on your backcountry trips, YETI Hopper Flip 12 offers everything you’re looking for.
