IceMule Coolers are truly the cooler for every adventure. From the beach to the boat, canoe trips to road trips, picnic to paddle board, IceMule will keep you cool. IceMule combines the portability of a backpack with the leak-proof, ice-keeping performance of a premium hard shell cooler. A Kickstarter success story, IceMule was created by an outdoor adventurer tired of bulky  coolers and soft-sided coolers that just didn't work.

2015 Holiday Gift Ideas - IceMule Pro CoolerChoose from the IceMule Classic, the IceMule Pro with backpack straps and the IceMule Pro Catch for the fisherman or woman on your list. IceMule Coolers keep ice intact for up to 24 hours or more, will never leak, have zero zippers to break, jam or fail, are airtight, float and are tough as nails. And did we mention you can carry them with no hands? You can't do that with a super-awkward-impossible-to-carry-impossible-to-pack hardshell cooler.
