As my anticipation for the start of ICAST nears each year, I try to imagine what new updates I will see. This year Ice Mule exceeded my expectation because for the past two years, other than new colors and their Pro Cooler with straps, there were no, what I would call a big change. At this year's ICAST Ice Mule rolled out a backpack cooler. The new cooler design has thick insulation on all four side of the cooling chamber. The backpack closure is the same design as on all the other Ice Mule Coolers. This cooler has been tested extensively and will keep items cold for an extended period of time.
There are three pockets that have zippers that allow contents to be cooled. The backpack has a padded waist strap with comfortable backpack straps. When I tried on the empty backpack cooler it was comfortable to wear. I did have a problem with the waist strap. I could not close it. I needed about 6 more inches. That should not be a problem for average sized people. You can see below that the waist strap should fit perfectly. You see my pants belt is more than 6 inches longer than the waist strap on the backpack.
My bad, not a Ice Mule design issue. I recommended that a waist belt extension be added as an accessory for people with large waste lines like me. The new Ice Mule Backpack Cooler will be available next year.
I have been using my Ice Mule Cooler for over two years. I take it everywhere. It works great when I take it into hotels. It can easily be filled at the ice machine and it rolls up tightly and can fit into your luggage.
A great travel buddy. You can find Ice Mule Coolers on Amazon or other online outdoor recreation outfitters. Get yours today.
Until next time, be safe in the sun and have a great day in the great outdoors.
