The Igloo MaxCold Voyager was the best backpack cooler I tested under $100, but I think a better investment would be the Icemule Pro XL 33L. While the Igloo performed decently in my insulation tests, if you’re willing to spend a bit more, you can get a much more adventure-ready option.

The RTIC 20-Can Backpack Cooler gets the job done and the price is right, but for a similar price, there are better options. The zipper is difficult to open and the insulation ability lags behind the Icemule Pro, which is similarly priced.

This ugly little beast is the best budget backpack cooler I tested. It held more cans and was better at insulating compared to the Tourit. The Igloo MaxCold Voyager has a great price, though I’d bet you’ll be looking for a new backpack cooler in three or four years, as it’s not the most durable.

The Igloo BMX 25 cooler is the most budget friendly cooler I’ve tested in the 20-25 quart category. It performed the worst (out of four brands) in my insulation and ice-retention tests, but not by very much. The best performing was the YETI Roadie 24, but that only outperformed the Igloo by 5 hours (about 8% better). The Igloo is much less expensive than YETI, too. Otherwise, the Igloo is ugly, but it gets the job done.
