Soft Sided 11qt Cooler - Embark™

Soft Sided 11qt Cooler - Embark™

We have an older version of this cooler and LOVE it. The downside is that it is heavier because of the white plastic insert, but the upside is that it means you can use ice without it leaking! It can hold up to 12 cans and the dimensions are 10.24 Inches (H) x 11.5 Inches (W) x 8.5 Inches (D)

I do not have this one, but it has great reviews and it keeps contents chilled up to 24 hours. It does not look waterproof vs the cooler tote, so you would need to use ice packs. It says the 12L holds up to 20 cans and dimensions are 8.7 x 11.5 x 11.2 inches

I do not have this specific cooler, but do have a Sun Squad cooler from a few years ago and we love it! This one comes in three different designs, including a pineapple. It is so cute. We use it for picnics and do not use ice in it, but do use ice packs or bagged ice. The dimensions on this one are 16.1 Inches (H) x 11 Inches (W) x 7.9 Inches (D
