I like taking this to the beach and filling the bottom insulated part with ice packs, some drinks, and snacks. There's a top part that I can put more food in, or my sunscreen, and extra items. There's 2 pockets on the side that snuggly fits a standard water bottle. I do wish the pockets were bigger for my reusable bottles for hiking. There are also 2 smaller pockets with zippers to put my keys or valuables in. The backpack is comfortable with the padded straps. Great bag for the beach for me.

This bag is gorgeous and made from recycled plastic bottles (which I love!!). It’s extremely light weight and roomy and has so many compartments and expandable mesh at the top. I personally use it for trips to the park and pool with my kids and our friends and I love that I can pack bottles, juice boxes, snacks, sandwiches, etc. for everyone and simply throw the bag on my back without having to add another bag to carry. My favorite feature is that the top and bottom are separate compartments so you can keep everything organized and take more with you. The backpack is padded and adjustable so it’s comfy and I think it’s great for a mom on the go but can also see it being utilized for hiking, the beach, etc. We expect to get a lot of use out of it!

Whoever thought to have a cooler and backpack in one is a genius! It's so convenient for so many situations. From carrying lunch to work to bringing drinks to the beach, this is an awesome backpack. The cooler is a good size for a few people, and the top part is perfect for storing utensils or other items for your adventure. I love that it has some zippered pockets too...this has a lot more space than you think. It's well-built, which is important since picnics can get heavy! I'm not worried about the straps tearing, and they're padded and comfortable to wear. Plus, the color is beautiful! A win all around!

Thoughtfulness of application are at the forefront of the design of this backpack. The insulated compartment is separate from the others. Zipper seal and insulation provides protection from potential leaks, as well as providing a designated spot for items you need to keep cold. The top compartment is a good size for dry goods, snacks, etc, plus several other compartments for anything else you want to carry. Comfortable and stylish, plus made from recycled material. All around nice product.

The Tarana Backpack Cooler is a lifesaver for our family. We have 3 kids all under five years old and this cooler really makes our lives easy when we need to take snacks and drinks on the go. The cooler has a few different sized compartments that can fit many things. The backpack cooler can hold sandwiches, chips and other snacks as well. We use the main compartment for drinks like soda cans, water bottles or juice boxes. There is more than enough space for all of our drinks and ice. The cooler is lined well and keeps everything so cold. It's durable and made well, so I have yet to experience any leaks. The backpack itself is the perfect size. Even when it's loaded with food and drinks, it's not that heavy and easy to carry on your back. It's stylish and looks great. Say goodbye to me lugging around my old hard cooler, the Tarana Backpack Cooler has replaced it! I highly recommend it!

I got this backpack cooler to replace a 5 year old cooler backpack that's falling apart. After a couple trips to the beach, and a small road trip, I'm pretty happy with this bag. I wish the cooler portion was a little bigger. It's nice have many pockets and the larger normal backpack area above the cooler.
