Knapsack Coolers

The IceMule Pro Cooler Makes Carting Around Drinks and Foods Easier Than Ever

— October 18, 2015 — Art & Design
Coolers are notorious for being not only awkward to carrying but also extremely heavy when filled with ice, drinks and food, so the IceMule Pro Cooler is here to innovatively transform the traditional cooler design into a knapsack. The PolarLayer insulation used in the construction of the IceMule Pro Cooler means it'll keep items cold for up to 24-hours; a feat that traditional coolers even have trouble keeping up with. The IceMule Pro Cooler features an air insulation layer that deflates with ease to let you roll up the bag to easily pack it away, meaning it won't have a huge footprint when not in use like traditional coolers.

Coming in three size varieties including 20, 30 and 40-liter designs, the IceMule Pro Cooler makes camping, cottage weekends and any other situation that requires a cooler that much easier.
Trend Themes
1. Knapsack Coolers - Knapsack coolers are disrupting traditional cooler designs by providing a more convenient and portable solution for keeping items cold.
2. Polarlayer Insulation - Using PolarLayer insulation in cooler construction may present disruptive opportunities for better temperature-controlled packaging designs.
3. Air Insulation Layer - Incubating an air insulation layer in cooler designs may create disruptive opportunities for collapsible and portable storage equipment.
Industry Implications
1. Outdoor Recreation - The outdoor recreation industry can benefit from the rise of knapsack coolers in providing more convenient and space-saving equipment for adventurers.
2. Food and Beverage - The food and beverage industry could capitalize on cooler designs that keep items colder for longer periods of time and offer more portability options for events such as outdoor catering.
3. Shipping and Logistics - Better temperature-controlled packaging using PolarLayer insulation and collapsible air insulation layers could benefit the shipping and logistics industries.
