Pickleball courtside cooler bag
I was looking for a compact soft cooler bag for use on the pickleball courts. This is a review of the 10L size model.The build quality seems very good for the price though time will tell. It is a good-looking piece of gear which is something I look for. Trim and compact, stable when “inflated”, and something I can easily sling over my shoulder. The bag offers 5 sturdy D-ring connection points for the included padded strap. Lots of flexibility in terms of how you can carry it. It also has a built in rubber handle. Plus, the clips that close the roll top provide another way to grab it and go. I may add a carabiner clip so I can attach it to the fence.The 10L size seems perfect for my needs. Big enough for a few cold drink bottles or cans with or without ice, but not so big that it looks like I’m hosting a tailgate party. I got white because I figured it would do best in hot sunny conditions although I plan to stash this in shade whenever possible.The attached photo shows the bag next to my pickleball paddle for size reference. I think I’m going to love this bag and expect to get some compliments on it. It may serve double duty on my boat and I may get a 15L size to use as a ditch bag.

Great buy for the money!
I do an annual kayak/camping/fishing trip that requires us to paddle all of our gear into a campsite. It's always a challenge to fit everything I need for a 3-4 day weekend in one trip on the kayak, and fishing gear. Coolers in particular have always been a challenge. Strapping a large plastic rectangular cooler to a kayak is never easy. I stumbled across these dry bag coolers only a couple days before my trip, and decided to give these a try for the price. I figured if it worked well enough I could always upgrade to a higher end brand later on. Well I'm happy to say I see no need to upgrade, this cooler was above my expectations. The fit and finish is really good. I was surprised how sturdy the roll up area and buckles were. I actually carried it around by the buckle area full of cans. I was able to stuff 24 12oz cans into this bag in 3 layers of 8 cans, and still have room to roll the strap up with ease. There wasn't much room for ice in there, but you could still fit some. You could always cut it back to 16 or 18 cans and go with more ice, but I was going for maximum liquid with me. I tried to keep the bag out of the sun as much as possible which helped keep the cans cooler. I would say actual ice retention isn't super great, but it did fine for me in my situation. I wouldn't expect to keep this in the sun all day and have any ice left. The cooler went right between my legs in the kayak and it was a perfect all around fit. If you do anything similar I highly recommend this exact size, seemed about perfect.

Holds water between liner and leaks
Bought the 25L bag which is a nice size and seemed built well. I used it twice. The third time I got it out it smelled. I tried giving it a thorough rinse with soap in the tub inside and out but after drying it, realized water had gotten in to the liner between the insulation and outer layer causing the bag to reek. It also dripped a small amount of ice water out on the second use.

Tear in lining
There was a tear in the lining of the bag so all the melted ice filled inside the bag. Otherwise the bag looked great.

Float trip
Took this on a float trip crammed full of beers on a blazing hot day. Things stayed pretty cold for about five hours and after that I think I just quit caring. I did the job well.

Sturdy and useful
I was looking for a dry bag that was also a cooler bag and there aren't many in that category. I purchased it to use on motorcycle trips where I could strap it to the bike and it could handle weather.I haven't had a chance to travel with it but I did use it once so far. It does keep things cold and it will hold what I need. The 10 liter is not huge but it should fit a 6 pack and ice.Only complaint is that since the insulation lines the whole bag, it makes it a little hard to role the top and close it.It seems well made and sturdy. Looking forward to using it on longer trips

No water-proof
So, I ordered the 15L and the 25L. They are by no means waterproof at all. Quick test in the tub proved that out. The 25L is just too big and even the front zipper pocket leaked within minutes. Returning. However, the 15L is a better size for my needs. Used for 3 days on a car camping trip. Filled with ice, water and cold packs and put behind my car seat. I would say the ice was gone in about 30 hours but because of the cold packs and cold water and the bag is insulated it kept the water cold until the 3rd day. The size was great and could put on the Kayak if necessary. Do not believe it would like any direct sun.
