Half cooler, half daypack, the brand new installment in Yeti’s Daytrip series dwarfs other offerings by triple digits.

At $225, you couldn’t really call a new Yeti daypack cheaper. That is, until you look elsewhere in the product catalog.
The Daytrip 20L Insulated Backpack comes as the latest cold storage solution with shoulder straps. But it is far from the first.
It undercuts similar backpacks in the Hopper series by at least $50, though the number doubles to $100 in one-to-one comparisons in size and capacity.
No matter what you think, you can’t doubt the utility.
The Daytrip 20L Insulated Backpack boasts Yeti’s Coldcell Flex technology to keep perishables fresh for the day when paired with ice. Simple, and features a spacious interior the size of a large Yeti Ice Sheet.
There are also two water bottle pockets, a stash pocket on the front panel and a zipped pocket on the lid, combined with a lanyard for key storage.
In terms of capacity, the Daytrip 20L Insulated Backpack holds 33 cans (just three less than the Hopper M20 Backpack Soft Cooler) or up to seven bottles of wine hidden upright.
In the FAQs listed on the product page, “the zipper closure is not waterproof and we do not recommend submerging it.”
However, official photos show that it is used in the sea and even on a paddle board, so the material is durable and resistant to the elements.
Availability and pricing
The Daytrip 20L Insulated Backpack is available now for early access members (free to register on the Yeti website). It comes in four colors at launch, Navy, Black, “Cape Taupe” and “Royal Blue.”
