Hopper M20 Backpack Soft Cooler combines easy carry with ice-cold performance
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I love the Hopper M20 Backpack for long days out. It keeps my drinks cold all day and is super easy to haul around on my back, even fully loaded. Perfect for beach days, hikes, and backyard barbecues."
We trust the YETI Hopper M20 Backpack Soft Cooler to fuel every adventure. From early morning hikes to all-day paddling trips, it’s got room for the essentials—beers, sandwiches, and enough ice to last the journey. The backpack style leaves our hands free for fishing rods or bikes, making it easy to go further and stay out longer.
Inside, there’s space for 36 cans or 22 pounds of ice, so we’re always ready for more than just the basics. The ColdCell™ insulation keeps everything frosty, and the leakproof magnetic closure gives us confidence when we’re on the move. With a rugged DryHide™ shell that shrugs off scrapes and scuffs, the Hopper M20 is built for days that don’t go according to plan—and that’s exactly how we like it.

Great for transporting
So far, so good. More importantly, Yeti stands but their product. This will be my 3rd Yeti soft cooler from a single purchase. I had the original zipper cooler and the zipper failed. They send me the magnetic hopper. The magnets failed and they sent me this one. The backpack makes transporting a breeze!

Yeti Backpack
Its a little pricey for the performance. I put in 12 cold bottles and filled with ice. Left in garage for 24 hours out of the sun and all ice was gone. Only cold water left.

My favorite backpack cooler.
I knew once I opened the box it was going to be my favorite backpack cooler. I’ve seen these around and briefly looked at one at a box store. I love all the colors and it’s just made so strong. It feels like it’s really well built. I just got it so I haven’t had the time to really test it but if it’s like my other Yeti stuff I’m sure it’s great.

Backpack coolers are always a winner
Of the 347 Yeti items my husband seems compelled to collect, the backpack coolers are always a winner. Still like the Yeti Backflip (rectangle) design better as it gives you a place to set your drink on top, but this one is pretty awesome too.

It works!
Easy to use, easy to carry and it keeps your stuff cold. I do wish it had a built-in pocket / compartment for dry goods but that’s an easy fix with either another Yeti product or by using the clips to connect a small bag. Either way, great bag!
