Great pack...
by Elaine Magliacane (5 out of 5 stars)
August 19, 2016

This pack is FABULOUS, I took it on a trip thru Arizona, New Mexico and Nevada this Summer. Temps as high as 106, this cooler was strapped to my motorcycle luggage rack and held my insulin... from 4 to 7 hours in the sun and there was ice in the bottom every day... kept my insulin cool and made it possible for me to have a cold drink along the way too :-) Added bonus, the soft pack, was easy to bungie down, and was much easier to load than a 'box'... I'd highly recommend the Ice Mule. I got the Orange pack, you can see it on this picture of me on the trip.

Amazing near perfect cooler...ice time may be a little exaggerated.

I purchased the large. Perfect cooler....not going to keep your ice for 24 hours in the summer though. Fits 18 cans and ice very easily comfortably...could fit up to 24 with ice. Interior and exterior materials seem very tough. Sturdy made, appears all the straps, buckles and seems are made to last. First test: pretty extreme first run, 18 beers and ice, closed cooler, stuck in my shed on summer day (probably 105 in there). After 24 hours I had no ice, water and beer were pretty cold but it was evident ice had been gone for several hours. Second test: 3 days in a row took it to the racetrack. Each morning around 11:00 put in 20 fridge cold beers and a 7 lb bag of ice. The cooler got opened a lot, I kept it in the shade as much as possible but it saw plenty of sun, outside temp was probably 83-88 degrees on average. Each day when leaving, around 7:00 p.m. the cooler still had a very cold ice and water mix. It performed perfectly...I just don't think under any summer circumstance its going to keep ice for 24 hours but I wont really need it to so it is an A+ for me. The diameter of the large will support 10 cans, the height will support 2 rows easily so 20 cans and ice is very easy to achieve. The shoulder strap is about as comfortable as 20 cans and ice can be digging into your shoulder, it pretty easy to carry by the buckle too like a handle. It gets lighter the more you drink so by the end of the day it is rolled up and the size of a newspaper.

I previously bought an IceMule large and loved it. Bought this to use when at the beach or wherever I just need something for a day for myself and/or wife. Works great. Really keeps things cold for a long time and super easy to carry. I was skeptical about it being on strap but the way they have the attachment points arranged it easily stays on your shoulder no problem. I just don't get the "Yeti thing" as in value for the cost. More like a status symbol if you can call it that. LOL. I have had several people comment on how nice and functional this is.

This cooler can hold a good bit more than the 6 cans as advertised
by Anastasia Fano (4 out of 5 stars)

Versatile cooler, attractive and kept my beverages cold for 6.5 hours in 85-90 degree weather, 1.5 hours in the sun.

I am probably odd gal out expecting it to be a bit smaller. I was looking for something to carry just a few beverages on my paddleboard. This cooler can hold a good bit more than the 6 cans as advertised. I would say 9 easily or 6 and a healthy amount of lunch/snacks.

I would prefer a heartier shoulder strap and think a cross body carry strap or dual straps like the larger backs would be a nicer option.

Great color choices.

Moto Cooler!
by Molly (5 out of 5 stars)
September 19, 2018

At the end of August 2018 2 friends and I rode the Northwest Passage ADV route, which goes from the Seattle area to Montana. The route has primarily a dirt focus. I rode a DRZ400S. We turned around after 3 1/2 days of hard riding, only to do the same route in reverse. We only made it to the Idaho border.

I brought a Trangia 27 cook kit, which if you know about camping cook sets, is designed for more than just boiling water. This meant I'd be cooking for my buddies everyday. I grabbed an IceMule 10L cooler before the trip because I wanted to be able to carry eggs, cheese, sandwich meat, etc.

Every day we came out of the mountains for gas, and we restocked with ice and food. It fit a bag of ice (or most of it) with whatever we wanted in the cooler, including Jack and Diet Coke. Every day, I fried up eggs with something else for breakfast (usually Spam and grilled onions). While it was heavy filled with food and ice on the back of my rack, it worked perfectly and I would bring it again. Ice lasted for at least 24 hours, and I didn't add any air in the valve to try to better insulate the contents.

Highly recommended.

Eskimo Cold
by Whiskey Charlie Lima (5 out of 5 stars)
August 30, 2017

Who doesn't like a cold drink?? Eskimoes and Siberians. If you're not an Eskimo or Siberian, this cooler is for you. Your drinks will stay cold and enjoyable. If you are an Eskimo or Siberian, you don't need it because you live in cooler; save your money and buy some coal. Only one flaw - if you're in a hot/humid environment the ice will melt, but DUH. The price is right on the Ice Mule and you won't need a 2nd mortgage (I'm looking at you Yeti, Orca, K2). Works great on the beach, boat, canoe, or skateboard. This is lightweight and fits easily in your car, truck, minivan, or golf cart. If you take a Forrest Gump trek across the country or just go to the golf course, the Ice Mule will be perfect.

Everything I hoped it would be!!!

This is the perfect cooler for my summer beach time needs! I am sure it will also come in handy for overnight camping trips & a fishing day in the boat. It holds a full bag of ice all day & into the night. Make sure you get cured ice from a cooler and not wet ice from the dispencers..... You may pay 50cents more but it makes a BIG difference.

One day I put 1/2 bag of ice and full picnic for 4. Another day I put a 12 pack of beer with ice & a few other snacks. It holds a LOT with some room to spare. I got the large ice mule in Green and I am very happy with my purchase. The fact that it collapses down at the end of the day helps out a bunch when hauling my stuff back to the car. The shoulder strap makes it so easy to cary. The material is very high quality and I think that it will last a long time! I did a lot of research on different coolers before I finally decided on this one and it turned out to be.......

everything I hoped it would be!!!

Made the Switch From Yeti
by Driftless Trout Buddy (5 out of 5 stars)

So -- I'm a fly fishing guide and have used Yeti hard sided coolers for years. They have a soft cooler now that's around $250 or $300 I decided to save $200 and Tey the Ice Mule WOW, I was so impressed I bought another one so I have both sizes. They keep ice as advertised and there are zero leaks they don't even "sweat"!

Love em and so sorry Yeti people I've made the move and taken the sticker of my back window.

Lots of positives and a few drawbacks
by Megan (4 out of 5 stars)

Generally speaking, this was a great cooler. It's the first of this type that we've purchased (all of our others are the hard, box type), and worked well for what we needed it for... a tropical vacation where we wanted the ability to bring our own drinks to the beach. Below are the pros and cons of the IceMule:

PROS:
- Awesome to pack in a suitcase. I was able to roll this up and place it along one side in my suitcase. This is simply not something you can do with a "regular " cooler.
- Quality. While we've only used it for the one trip, it seems really well made. I expect it to last for years.
- Keeps things cold. While it didn't keep things cold as long as we expected (it worked for the day, but by the next morning, all of the ice had melted and the water wasn't that cold anymore), it definitely worked for our purposes.
- Design/look: Pretty easy and comfortable to carry on your shoulder.

CONS:
- Not a lot. I really like the cooler. I guess the only thing I was a little disappointed about was that we filled it with ice and drinks about noon one day. Ice was partially melted that evening, and totally melted by the next morning. Maybe that's the norm. I just expected some magical freezer like effect I guess ;).

If you're looking for a collapsible cooler, this one is great. So much less expensive than some other brands (you know the one I'm talking about), but works well, is easy to carry and even easier to pack, and based on what I can tell in owning one for a short time, is well made.

I love this product
by chemo rn (5 out of 5 stars)
July 30, 2018

I love this product. I left home about 8 am and ended up at my destination about 4 pm. I live in the mid west and the weather was in the 70's to the 80's, I was able to get 6-16 oz bottles in it with a 3 pound bag of ice. At my destination, I found the liquids were very cold. About 1/2 of the ice was melted, but the ice kept the water cold , which kept the liquids cold.

I have to say, I used it on my motorcycle trip, along with my saddleman duffel. The only thing I would suggest is putting a few more rings on the outside of the bag to have more places to attach tie down hooks. As it is, there are two on the over the shoulder belt and one on the closure snap. It made attaching it to my other bag, harder. It did not sit on the duffel evenly and I had to re adjust it several times during the travels, until I got it right.

Otherwise it is an awesome product, very durable and arrived quickly.
