Have you ever used one of those old school, cheap, foam koozies to try to keep a drink cold? Yeah, they don't work that well and the designers of ColdCan know it.

ColdCan has set out to change all that. Its designers have revolutionized the [canned drink beverage insulating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-jug-hugger) market with the use of Cryogel, which is made of a version of the same thing in [NASA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zero-gravity-coffee-cup) spacesuits that insulates astronauts from the harsh temperatures in space. Not only that, but ColdCan has made its container into an interchangeable system that allows you to connect a [16 oz adapter for your tall cans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/can-clip). ColdCan has a lid that keeps an open drink from spilling when the lid is on top. The container is waterproof, and floats, when closed. Soon the brand will release a bottle adapter as well. To top it all off, they are made in the USA!
