YETI® Hopper® M12 Backpack Soft Cooler
Rugged, comfortable shoulder-friendly cooling that keeps your essentials ice cold for days
The YETI® Hopper® M12 Backpack Soft Cooler is the perfect companion for day trips, side missions, and adventures where portability meets performance. Designed for those who refuse to compromise on keeping their refreshments cold whilst exploring the great outdoors, this compact backpack cooler holds up to 20 standard cans or 12 lbs of ice and fits wine bottles with ease. Whether you're trekking to a remote campsite, heading to the beach, or embarking on a multi-day hiking expedition, the M12 delivers exceptional cold retention without the bulk of traditional hard coolers.
At the heart of the M12 lies YETI's proprietary ColdCell™ closed-cell foam insulation, engineered to offer impressive cold-holding capabilities that keep your contents ice cold for extended periods. An ice retention test demonstrated the cooler maintains cold temperatures for up to 4 days, making it one of the strongest performers in the backpack cooler category. The interior features an RF-welded leakproof liner that eliminates traditional stitching, preventing seams from becoming weak points where cold air escapes. This construction ensures your cooler remains airtight and watertight, protecting both your provisions and your gear from unwanted spills and leaks.
The M12's innovative MagShield Access system represents a significant upgrade over traditional zipper designs. Durable and powerful magnets create an ultra leak-resistant shield that stays open when you need it and snaps shut with a gentle push, making access effortless and intuitive. The fold-over top secures with two quick-release buckles for those moments when you need absolute security during transport. This magnetic closure design is quicker, safer, and creates a reliable, airtight seal that keeps your contents cold and secure without fiddly mechanisms.
Durability is engineered into every aspect of the M12. The high-density DryHide™ shell fabric withstands punctures and UV rays, whilst both interior and exterior materials are treated to resist mildew, extending the cooler's lifespan through seasons of adventure. The slim, tapered design combined with ergonomic carry straps ensures even weight distribution for comfortable hauling, whilst double-stitched reinforced pick-up points handle more weight than you'd prefer to carry. The Kangaroo Pocket provides convenient access to keys, wallet, and phone without rummaging through your ice, and the HitchPoint™ Grid allows you to attach accessories such as the Rambler® Bottle Sling or Sidekick Dry® Gear Case for enhanced functionality and hands-free carrying options.
