In Hawaiian, makai means “towards the sea,” so [Everyday Makai](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Everyday-Better-for-You-Chips) represents a lifestyle that revolves around going to the sea every day. “I use my Coolio nearly every day for snacks for outings to the playground, for wine and seltzers for after-school happy hour, and for lunch and beers for the beach,” says the founder of Everday Makia, Audrey. “It’s a perfect size cooler bag for an afternoon session. Wear it cross-body and hands-free for a hike down to a secret beach or a ride on your beach cruiser.” Everyday Makai is committed to using as many recycled and recyclable materials in the production of the Coolio. The cooler is crafted from a biodegradable PEVA liner, recycled felt insulation, ECONYL webbing, and Tyvek paper that is waterproof, durable, and recyclable at the end of its life. Everyday Makai is teaming up with [Terracycle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wag-n-wash) to make sure its bags don’t end up in the landfill and is offering a 5-Year Warranty for all Coolios purchased during the [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chillbee-sofichill) launch.
