Pelican Dayventure Backpack

A closer look

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:"I took the Dayventure Backpack Cooler on a long beach day and a trail hike the same weekend and the dual compartment setup is what makes it work harder than anything else in this category. Cold drinks stayed cold in the bottom all day behind that leak-resistant zipper, and I used the roll-top upper section for dry snacks and a light layer without any crossover between the two. It carries comfortably even when fully loaded."The trailhead parking lot is full and the beach is a mile walk from the car. Neither situation asks you to sacrifice cold drinks or dry gear, and the Pelican Dayventure Backpack Cooler makes sure you never have to choose. Built around a dual-compartment system in a carry-anywhere backpack form, it handles the cold storage and the dry storage in a single, hands-free package that goes wherever the day points. Pelican constructed the Dayventure Backpack from double-coated 840D TPU, the same tough and water-resistant material running through the rest of the Dayventure lineup, paired with a compression molded base that lets the whole thing stand upright on its own at camp or in the truck bed. The dedicated bottom cooler compartment holds up to six cans behind a leak-resistant zipper with a waterproof seal, insulated with high-density closed-cell foam that holds temperature seriously well throughout a full day out. The wide roll-top upper compartment opens easily for dry storage or can pull light insulation duty as a secondary cooler section when the occasion calls for more cold capacity. Ergonomic padded shoulder straps and a rubberized carry handle make the loaded pack comfortable across any distance, and an exterior pocket keeps the small stuff organized and within reach without opening either main compartment.
