My preferred choice for a Prime Day deal is the remarkable IceMule Cooler Backpack.

I don't know who originally conceived the cooler backpack, but it's a genuine savior during the summer season. Beverages can be heavy and arms -- at least in my case -- become fatigued quickly. I've experimented with several options, but my preferred cooler bag and reliable summer companion for five consecutive years is the stylish and robust IceMule Jaunt. It's currently discounted to (typically ) on Amazon for Prime Big Deal Days and is my top home bargain up until now.

The IceMule is an exceptional present for anyone who frequently embarks on trips to the park, beach, or campground. It's also an excellent cooler bag for day hikes and other outdoor escapades because it's lightweight, portable, and waterproof.

My favorite cooler backpack of all time is 20% off during Prime Big Deal Days.

There are two IceMule models available for sale during Amazon's October deal days promotion. Here's a brief breakdown.

• The top-tier IceMule Jaunt with a capacity of 9 liters is now priced at . The larger 15-liter bag is available for , typically $110.

This is the sack I possess and it has served me admirably for five summers of camping, hiking, and general enjoyment. The 9-liter sack can accommodate around nine or 10 cans with space for ice.

IceMule's Classic version is also marked down to $52 from in the smallest 9-liter capacity. While I haven't personally tested this cooler sack, it seems to be constructed from a softer material, making it more collapsible. However, this might also indicate that it is less sturdy and long-lasting compared to the Jaunt. The Classic showcases one strap that can be worn across the body, while the Jaunt has two traditional backpack straps for some additional support.

I adore the roll-and-buckle closure

No disrespect to zippers, but you never know when one might fail, especially on an outdoor equipment piece that could be subjected to rough handling, moisture, and regular wear. IceMule eliminates the risk of zipper failure with a roll-and-snap closure. This feature also enables the removal of air from the semisoft cooler sack, ensuring that the cold contents inside stay cold for a longer period of time.

There's a built-in spout for convenient draining

When the ice eventually dissolves, you can effortlessly pour it out from the top or utilize IceMule's built-in spout to empty the cooler bag and continue on your way. This also helps reduce melting and keeps the bag lightweight.

IceMule produces various backpack coolers in different sizes and colors.

Looks incredibly stylish and designed for durability

Lastly, I absolutely adore the appearance of this cooler. The Jaunt features a sleek and understated design, crafted from sturdy material that hardly displays any marks or signs of use over the span of more than five years that I have owned it. Both models come in a variety of enjoyable colors and patterns, ranging from simple matte black to tie-dye and camouflage.
