Coolers are great and all, but they’re way too big, bulky and unwieldy for carrying around the great outdoors. And while there are some soft-sided cooler bags that can be thrown over your shoulder, they’re also often too bulky and more like a giant messenger bag than a light-and-fast piece of kit. Enter the Pelican DayVenture.

Pelican Dayventure-Sling-Cooler The DayVenture is a soft-sided cooler designed for an entirely hands-free operation. Whether you’re hauling those drinks and ice down to the local fishing hole or up the side of a mountain (hey, some of just really love cold beer). Pelican crafted it using their 840D, double-coated TPU puncture-resistant material that’s designed for the toughest of situations; a compression-molded base that gives it structure and lets it stand up when you need to reach inside and pull out a drink, and a wide-mouth zipper with waterproof seal that keeps things from getting messy as you’re hauling this bad boy around. The high-density closed-cell foam interior walls pack an insulating punch.

Best of all? You can carry it over your shoulder with ease with the padded shoulder strap. With an 8.5-liter capacity, it can hold four wine bottles, or 12 beer cans plus ice.

So, the next time you’re packing up some drinks or food on ice for a day in the great outdoors, leave the bulky hard cooler at home and bring the DayVenture. Your arms will thank you.
