Video Transcript for Review of AO Coolers Coolers - Carbon Series Cooler Bag Silver 12 Cans - AC48FR

Hi everybody, Andy here with etrailer.com and today we're gonna take a look at this AO Coolers Carbon Series Cooler Bag in silver. This durable travel cooler is going to keep your drinks and snacks cold on your next outdoor adventure. And this is designed to hold up to 12, 12 ounce cans and seven pounds of ice. And this will maintain that ice for up to 24 hours even in 100 degree Fahrenheit temperatures. Now this wide mouth tote is going to make it very easy to load and locate your items. So let me open this up and try to give you a view of the inside as best as I can.

This is going to hold about 12 and a half quarts. That's the volume of this bag. And so as you can see, you're gonna have quite a bit of room in there, nice and roomy. And this has a flexible one piece TPU liner that is leak proof. And this is going to do a great job of resisting punctures as well.

And as you can see, this can be pulled inside out to dry after every use and that that's something I would recommend doing. After you're done using this and have everything out of there, just go ahead and pull that liner out to air dry and you're not gonna have to worry about it being musty when you store this. So that's going going to be very easy to do. So very durable inside. There's also a three quarter of an inch thick polyurethane high density closed cell foam that is in between the inside and outside that's going to prevent air from entering the cooler.

So very thick insulated padding and that's all throughout the bag. And so I think that's, it's gonna do a great job of keeping your items in there nice and cold. By the way, I did want to point out that AO coolers actually guarantees that this cooler will never leak or sweat. So that's a nice guarantee that they have on this bag. And this is designed to be used rather the way that this is designed to be used is you fill this up with your ice and beverages and then you zip it close as I have it here.

And by the way, this is a YKK zipper with two poles to help keep your items inside sealed. So it's a durable name brand zipper. It's just adds to the durability of this cooler. So once you have everything in here, once you have this zip shut, you're then going to pull down on the top corners and just like that, and then buckle them together like that. And I'll do that here on this corner. So you just simply pull down bring the buckles together and then buckle them. And as you can see, that changes the shape of this bag to more of a square cube design that's going to make this easier to carry, keep it more compact to compressed. And so especially when you have this full and you're storing it somewhere it's gonna be taking up less space. So that's a nice design that this bag features. And I also wanted to point out that this has a zipper pocket in the front here. It's going to be very easy to use. And you can put in like napkins or utensils or smaller items. You can even throw in the shoulder strap. You can detach the shoulder strap and throw it in there if you decide not to use it. So that's a nice addition to this bag. Now speaking of the exterior, it's made of vinyl coated fabric with this carbon fiber imprint which is widely used in both the RV and marine industries. So this is going to match perfectly to the interior of many of the many boats and side by sides. And it's very durable. This doesn't feel like it's going to tear easily at all. I'm really impressed with the ruggedness of the bag and just how well built this cooler is. So very nice material on the outside, very durable. Now this silver color I could see could potentially get dirty easier than darker colors but all you would have to do to clean this up is just use some mild soap and water and rub that out and then rinse it off. And I think that'll clean up really nicely for you. This also features web handles, as you can see right here. So these handles are durable. Then you can bring them together with this hook and loop enclosure. And so that's going to make this very easy to carry. And then also, I mentioned the shoulder strap. This does include a shoulder strap with a nice padded section here that's going to slide up and down the length of the strap. And the strap is adjustable. Let me zoom out here real quick so you can get a better view of this. I'm just gonna throw it on my shoulder here. So it's gonna be very easy to carry it's gonna be very comfortable. And again, that shoulder strap is adjustable and it can also be very easily removed if you don't want to use it. And the clips on there are seem to be pretty sturdy as well. So, and it's adjustable, it's gonna turn and things like that, so you're not gonna have to worry about it, get it tangled up. Now I did wanna talk about these tie down points here. You have four attachment points on this cooler. So that's going to of course allow you to hook up your shoulder strap or you can actually use this to secure it on the inside of your boat or your truck or whatever. So you don't have to worry about this moving around in your vehicle or potentially having it fly out of your boat. So you're gonna be able to secure this, secure this down. Now this does fold down for easy storage even though it is very durable, it is flexible. So you could push this down, collapse it, fold it down to where it's a little bit flatter, taking up less space. So it's going to be easy to store taking up less space in your storage area. So it's going to be very flexible in that way. Now just to give you some overall dimensions to kind of give you the idea of the size, beginning with the overall width here at the widest point when this is empty, it's sitting at about 18 inches wide and about 13 inches tall and seven inches long or deep. However you'd like to identify that measurement. So hopefully that gives you an idea of the size. And again, this is 12 and a half quarts in volume. And so I think I mentioned it's going to hold up to 12, 12 ounce cans along with seven pounds of ice. And this is relatively lightweight when it's empty, it weighs a little over two pounds. And this does have a limited lifetime warranty. So I'm very impressed with this cooler. It's very well built, very rugged. It's a unique design and I think it's going to be very long lasting for you. You're not gonna have to treat it with kid gloves or anything like that. So if this meets the specs that you're looking for I think this is just gonna do a great job for you. And last you quite some time if you're not too crazy about the silver color, if that's too bright for you. The good news is we do also provide this in black same pattern, same design, it's just a different color.
