Picture this: You’re packing up your cooler for a sunny beach day. Or a neighborhood barbeque. Or a sunset picnic. Or maybe even a weekend road trip. Wherever you might take your cooler, odds are you need to be prepared with more than just snacks, meals, and drinks. And you’re in luck! Many Arctic Zone® coolers are loaded with extra features and offer storage options beyond just the main insulated compartment, so you can easily carry everything you need to take on your adventure. Let's take a look at some of the ways to store your favorite essentials.
Travel Necessities - Keys, Phone, Wallet
Almost every Arctic Zone® soft cooler has their own version of a front zippered pocket. This is the perfect place to put important items like keys, phones and wallets while at the pool, beach or traveling. Coolers like the 30 Can Ice Wall® Backpack Cooler even have multiple, interior zippered pockets to keep your personal belongings safe and stashed away. The best part is, these individual pockets keep your everyday essentials separated from ice, food, and drinks in the primary insulated cooler compartment.

Reusable Water Bottle
If there’s one thing to never leave home without, it’s a reusable water bottle! Attach a carabiner to your favorite bottle (such as our 20 Oz. Stainless Steel Bottle) and clip to the daisy chain attachments on the outside of your cooler so you’ll have more room on the inside of your cooler for your favorite snacks and drinks. Plus, our reusable water bottles keep beverages cold for up to 24 hours or hot for up to 12 hours.

Sun Protection - Sunscreen, Hats, Sunglasses
Enjoying the great outdoors with a refreshing ice cold drink? Don’t forget to think about protecting your skin. Even when chilling in the shade or hanging out on cloudy days, sun protection is key. Keep sunscreen, a ball cap, and sunglasses in the side mesh pockets of your cooler. Most coolers, like the 60 Can Wheeled Cooler, come with a mesh pocket on either side for easy access.

Textile Goods - Towels, Jackets, Blankets, Extra Layers
If headed somewhere near water like the beach, pool or marina, towels and picnic blankets are usually high on the packing list. And regardless of where you’re going, it’s always a good idea to bring an extra layer or two just in case. Easily store these textiles using the adjustable bungee straps included on many of our coolers like our Zipperless™ line.

And while you’re at it, choose to be a responsible partygoer by stashing some trash bags for easy clean-up.
