Great pics! I have to mention my Igloo 30 can reactor soft cooler. I was finally able to take it out in the 98 degree heat and it held up well. It kept 18 beers and ice with no pre chilling of the cooler or ice packs!
Although the Engel maintains a low temperature the single straight top zipper makes placing large dishes inside very difficult. Also, even though it is a “soft” cooler it is so rigid that one might just as well buy a hard sided cooler with more accessible top opening.

I have, in 3 different sizes, a yeti, RTIC and an Engel. The Engel is by far the most impressive soft pack I’ve ever used.

Have the yeti hopper and it won’t even hold ice over 24hr. It will also leak
bad zipper on rtic
