This cooler with a devoted following comes in 12 sizes and four colors. The Yeti Tundra 45 holds overnight camp provisions for four people, or 28 cans (enough drinks for a day on the water). The alpine-yellow hue is a limited-edition Yeti color. 

This nude-colored, retro-style cooler has a leather strap that adjusts to three positions. It boasts an interior covered with expanded polystyrene, for maximum insulation (and minimum heft).

Coleman 54-quart retro cooler, $170 (reduced from $200)

You’d never know this 1970s-inspired bag is actually a cooler. It’s made of a poly-cotton-canvas material that’s treated with mold, water and UV coatings. It has a genuine-leather trim, and features exterior slip pockets. 

Business & Pleasure Co. 15-quart premium cooler, $79

Or, if you prefer, you can close up the cooler with a lock (thanks to its built-in locking plate). The cooler features a bottle opener, UV inhibitors (that help prevent sun damage) and a drain plug (to make emptying melted ice a breeze). It holds up to 81 cans.
