It goes without saying that the best coolers are expensive. Some of Yeti's most rugged cool boxes go up to over $1,000. The iconic Yeti Hopper cool bags are both pricey and hardly ever on sale, so when I found this deal, I was gobsmacked.
We're tracking the best early Prime Day deals already at Tom's Guide and have some top-notch Prime Day advice including how to avoid falling for a shady deal.
This Yeti Hopper M20 backpack deal, however, is most certainly not a shady deal. I've tested the Yeti Hopper M15, and I can attest to just how good it is. I even took my Yeti Hopper M15 to the beach last weekend, and it proved its worth!
In my 4-star review of the Yeti Hopper M15 cooler bag, I praised how long it kept drinks and snacks cool for. In testing, it lasted 48 hours at refrigerator temperature, thanks to the mold-resistant high-density fabric. When I actually took the cooler bag to the beach, it kept my food cold all day (until I ate it all).
Then, throughout the afternoon, it kept my cans of beer and soda cool until it was time to leave the beach. I have full faith in the Yeti Hopper M series cool bags — I will always take one to the beach with me now.
Why Yeti, though? Why not any other cool bag?
This is a really valid question. What makes Yeti unique is its design. The M Series cool bags have a MagShield magnetic opening. This magnetic opening is indestructible. I stuffed the Yeti Hopper M15 to the brim and struggled to close it, but once it snapped shut, it was shut for good. It didn't pop back open when I was carrying the bag.
This secure opening means you don't have to worry about the bag letting in hot air or sunlight. The MagShield opening is also pest-proof — the hoards of seagulls at the beach tried and failed to break in!
While this is a photograph of the Hopper M15 (not the Hopper M20 in this article), the Hopper M20 has padded ergonomic straps, too. You might think carrying a full trip's worth of food would be laborious, and while, yes, that's true, the padded straps help take the weight off.
I can't imagine going on adventures without my Hopper M15 now, and with an awesome $65 saving, this Hopper M20 deal is currently the cheapest way to get the same experience.
