BUILT Utopia Welded Soft Portable Cooler with Wide Mouth Opening - Insulated and Leak-Proof Botanical Leaf 5251696

Love this cooler. It’s keeps ice for a good amount of time and no leakage. Very sturdy and not as expensive as a yeti.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Hot days with frozen items of concern. With the first time use, worries were put to rest as the case performed perfectly. Another plus was not to have a hard plastic box-type with lid and this ample zip-top soft pack was money well spent.

This has become our favorite grab and go cooler. The walls are thick and it keeps stuff cold. We use it for random beach days or kayaking. Only complaint is that if it tips over it’ll leak water out the fabric part of the zipper from melted ice. But it rarely happens so I don’t worry too much about it.

I was first set on purchasing a YETI cooler but was hesitant to pull the trigger due to the cost. I then started looking for an alternative to the YETI and decided on this one. I read the Amazon reviews on both items and decided to give the Built NY a try. My plan was to use the cooler on a fishing trip on a day with temperature forecasted to be in the mid-90. I work at night, so I packed up frozen bottles of water, Gatorade, food and live night crawlers at around 10:00 before I left for work. The cooler was left in my car inside a parking garage at my office. When I got to the lake at around 9:00 AM I checked the content of the cooler and was satisfied with the results. Some ice that I had just poured in the cooler had melted a bit, but ice in plastic bags was still about 85 percent solid and the frozen drinks were about 75 percent still frozen. Being that I left the content in my car in a parking garage that was not air-conditioned for 8 hours and another 1.5 hours before I check the content I am satisfied with the product. The cooler is very well made and should last for many years. Considering the many bad reviews for the more expensive YETI I also consider it a smart buy.

Someone gave this to us as a gift maybe 4+ years ago. Beat goft ever! This thing is tough and has held up w EVERY weekend use for us! The only thing that busted was the top piece of the zipper you use to pull. Still functional zipper just had to tie a string through the loop. It is finally getttting worn looking but still serves its purpose. So, replacing it after almost 5 years only bc it looks worn. Holds ice I'd say about 24 hours b4 it completely melts in the scorching Florida sun and heat. Longer if kept in the AC. So happy the company is still around!

The insulation is outstanding, keeping my food and drinks cold for hours on end. The bag is spacious and well-designed, with convenient pockets and compartments for organization. The build quality is excellent, with sturdy handles and a durable exterior. It's lightweight and easy to carry, making it perfect for picnics, beach trips, and outdoor adventures.

No need to pay yeti prices this cooler has preformed just like the high dollar name brand . You can purchase this and still have dollars left to buy ice and cokes.. and it will keep the cold for days.. I use it for grocery trips too.. I did not care about the color so I got the palm one which was a steal for $59. This is a exceptional cooler for the price.. zero leakage, high performance.

This is a really well built and good looking bag cooler. It keeps things cold for as long as I needed (8 hrs?) The only thing is that the zippers are really weak. I bought two bags and now both of the zippers are broken. They could have spent another $5 on heavy-duty ones and get 5 stars.
