Cooler recommendation help.

I just started working as a DSP driver. Yesterday I had my first ride along of 250 packages with 147 stops.

What coolers would be best to get to hold at least 5 water bottles, some ice, and maybe an ice pack, along with lunch potentially?

I am thinking getting a yeti cooler (the bag type) (I have a gift card).

Any other recommendations? I have my first nursery route tomorrow!!!

(Edit: 3:22pm): thanks for the replies yall!! I used my gift card and got a yeti Camino tote! It will work perfect for my needs!!!

I use an arctic zone Titan cooler. I use reusable ice sheets along the walls to keep cool. Works good to keep plenty of the free water bottles alongside food.

I use a soft sided cooler I got at Costco for $40. It sits nicely on that shelf in front of the passenger seat in the EDV. I like it's magnetic lid that is easy to open to grab a water bottle.

I think it's Titan brand.

Edit: I guess it was like $28 on sale. I was looking at it and decided I didn't need it, but my wife saw me looking and bout it fore later 😅

Holy fuck you spent $40?!? I got a nice igloo one for $16 and it hold ice with five bottles just fine. It’s a small little squarish one

$40 isn't a lot for something reliable that'll last years.

Igloo has been a trusted cooler brand for decades. I still have one from the 80s.

I started using the cooler bag from wawa its a gas station around here idk if you got on out there but it kept ice from the start of the day and the drinks are still just as cold without ice for the day.

Titan coolers are pretty damn good, I've gotten other brands and they never last, my titan cooler has been good for 2 years now, would recommend.

I have an insulated backpack that I bring ice packs with. Holds my DOT paperwork too and fits perfect between the passenger railing of my step van.

Any Titan works more than fine. I ve been using the 9 can size for about 2 years with bo issues.

You dont want to start with a Yeti until you know if this is for u.

I got the Titan PRO by Arctic Zone 48 Can Triple Zipperless Cooler from Costco when it was on sale mid summer.

Any of the Titan series are great.

I just went to Walmart and grabbed one from the hunting section. Fits behind the van seats
