Adventure-ready 20L Day Escape Soft Cooler Pack keeps drinks cold for 36 hours

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:


"I take the Day Escape Soft Cooler Pack on everything from lake days to ski tailgates. The backpack straps make carrying ice and drinks a breeze, and it actually stays cold overnight. The Tru Zip is fully watertight, so even after a long day in the sun, I don’t have to deal with leaks or soggy gear in the truck."


When the plan calls for cold drinks and fresh snacks wherever the trail takes us, we reach for the Hydro Flask 20L Day Escape Soft Cooler Pack. Its lightweight, durable design pairs Hydro Flask’s signature insulation with a waterproof construction that keeps ice solid for up to 36 hours—plenty for a full weekend of play.


The backpack carry straps free up our hands for gear, while the welded seams and Tru Zip watertight closure prevent leaks, even when loaded with meltwater or tossed into the back of the rig. The 20-liter capacity fits enough for small groups, and the minimalist profile keeps it easy to haul from trailhead to tailgate. Whether we’re hiking to a lakeside spot or posting up après-ski, this soft cooler makes every adventure more refreshing.

Customer Images

Here's what customers have to say

The product offers excellent insulation, keeping contents cold for long periods, and a comfortable backpack design. Reviewers praise the waterproof and durable construction, as well as convenient features like the unique zipper and attachment points. However, the new design changes have received mixed feedback, with many customers finding the narrow and rigid top opening makes it difficult to access and retrieve items. While the product is effective at keeping things cold, the limited accessibility is seen as a major drawback by some users.

Whats with the zipper? Come on

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The zipper opening for the cooler super small, will rip off your watch if your not careful and its hard to even see in to see what you want to grab. Sand gets into the zipper track and it wont close. Your past model the top opened ALL the way up and was much easier. Doubt we will be fusing this much which is sad.

I liked the old zipper

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I liked the old zipper access that folded open. The narrow top of the bag isn’t as nice to use for loading up your food/beverages.

Cool New Backpack Cooler

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thanks HydroFlask for a nice new cooler design. We are excited about the new zipper and the multiple handles to help get years of Adventure out of our cooler.
