Retailed on the ThinkGeek website, the Chewbacca Can Cooler will keep drinks cool while keeping hands warm. The rubber inner sleeves are designed to hug a standard 12 oz can while the can cooler measures to be 4-1/2″ tall by a 3-1/2″ exterior diameter.

Designed to mirror the [iconic Chewbacca character](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-tray), this can cooler is made of brown pelt polyester that frays every which way like the character's furry coat. A mini bandolier is also strapped to this cooler to replicate Chewbacca's recognizable details.
