Review of the Hopper Backflip Ice Chest

The backpack ice chest is designed to maximize space while minimizing weight. On the other hand, you do sacrifice some flexibility and portability in favor of the extra mass. However, those sacrifices are worth it because the backpack ice chest is designed with today’s demanding commercial market in mind. The product’s lightweight construction and a patented, high-tech material make this a great choice for people who need to take an ice chest on a regular basis.

Inside, you’ll find an FDA approved polyurethane food-grade lining surrounding the Coldcell insulated foam. This closed cell rubber foam means that the Hopper Backflip can be compressed or unfolded, but still provides superior thermal properties for an extended period of time, when compared to other products that are more compact than backpack ice chest. One drawback to the product is that its handles get extremely hot when you place your bag on top of them. It’s definitely something to consider when purchasing.

The final price range for the Hopper Backflip Ice Chest is around $150, so it’s a decent size, if not exactly cheap. If you’re looking for a durable backpack cooler that has all of the features of a full-size cooler, the Hopper Backflip is very comparable in price to other products in its price range. The best thing about it is that it’s made from the same high-tech, flexible polyurethane material as the more expensive, lighter-weight Oagear Ultimate backpack cooler. The packaging is also pretty good-looks well made and the x10 pan that comes with the cooler includes an olefin sleeve and sticker for added protection.
