Bring the YETI Hopper M12 Backpack Soft Cooler on your next adventure

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I love how the Hopper M12 Backpack Cooler keeps my drinks cold for hours on end, even on long summer hikes. It’s surprisingly lightweight for its capacity and fits snugly on my back without feeling bulky. The roll-top design is secure and easy to use, and the insulated body means ice retention isn’t an issue. Perfect for solo missions or sharing a cold brew at the summit."

We head out for a day of hiking, the YETI Hopper M12 Backpack Soft Cooler slung comfortably over our shoulders. With a design that’s as sleek as it is rugged, this packable powerhouse keeps us and our crew refreshed for miles.

The durable build of the Hopper M12 makes it a trusted companion, built to endure dusty trails, overgrown brush, and riverside stops. It’s lightweight yet roomy enough for up to 20 cans, and with a wine bottle-friendly interior, it’s equally at home at a lakeside picnic or an evening concert in the park.

Sturdy straps and a roll-top closure ensure an easy carry, while the waterproof construction and puncture-resistant material keep everything inside perfectly chilled. Whether we’re trekking up a mountain or setting up camp beside the water, this cooler has us covered from dawn till dusk.

Here's what customers have to say

The backpack cooler is well-made and durable, keeping contents cold for a long time even in hot weather. Reviewers praise its quality, size, and portability, though some note difficulty closing the top when full and relatively quick ice melt. Overall, it is a reliable and convenient option for outdoor activities and day trips.

Great for day trips!

Love, love, love my M12! I was worried about having a solid backpack that may be very heavy but the M12 was a perfect choice! Durable, heavy-duty material that will stand a beating from the elements for sure but not overly heavy or large for my needs. Chose this model over the zippered soft coolers because I wanted one tall enough that can hold an upright wine bottle. Flaps will stay open by itself and the magnetic closure holds well as long as the backpack is not overly stuffed. Already took it with me on a short beach hike as well as smuggled on a golf cart. Serves my needs perfectly to hold a few drinks and some food/snacks for the day. Also came with a chest strap to provide additional support when worn as a backpack which I greatly appreciate! Thank you Yeti for making an amazing product!
