Video Transcript for Review of AO Coolers Coolers - Canvas Cooler Bag Charcoal 24 Cans - AC89FR

Hi, everybody, Andy here with etrailer.com, and today we're gonna take a look at the AO Cooler's canvas cooler bag in charcoal. This durable travel cooler is going to keep your drinks and snacks cold on your next outdoor adventure. This cooler bag is designed to hold up to 24 12 ounce cans and 14 pounds of ice, and it's going to maintain that ice for up to 24 hours at 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Now this bag features a wide mouth opening as you can see right here, so that's going to allow you to load this up very easily and also locate items that you have in here very easily. And this features a one piece TPU liner. It's flexible, but it's also leakproof.

It's very durable. It's going to be puncture resistant, so you're not gonna have to worry about this easily tearing or getting a hole punched through it. And as you can see, this can be pulled inside out, and that's going to allow you to let this air dry after every use. And that would be my recommendation, is once you're done using this and you have everything emptied out, you can just easily pull that lining inside out, let it air dry before you put it away for storage, and then you're not gonna have to worry about this being musty or anything like that when you next need to use this. Now this also features a 3/4 of an inch thick polyurethane high density closed cell foam in between the inside and the outside that's going to prevent air from entering this cooler.

So that insulating foam is all the way throughout the bag. So it's going to do a great job of keeping the inside of this bag cold and protected from the warmer air outside. I wanted to mention that AO Coolers actually guarantees that this cooler will never leak or sweat, but of course if you have melted ice in here and you turn this upside down, water will come through the zipper, but you're not gonna have to worry about this lining leaking or this sweating on the outside. Now, the way that this is designed to be used is you fill up your cooler bag with ice and with your beverages and with food, and then you zip it closed, like I've just done right here. By the way, this is a YKK zipper, so it's a very durable, very rugged zipper.

And we have two zipper pulls here for convenience. So once you have this loaded up, and you have the zipper closed, then you're just going to pull down on the top corners here and buckle. So let me go ahead and show you how that's going to be done. Obviously, this is going to work a little bit smoother when you have something inside of this. So you pull down these corners and buckle them.

And if you notice, that actually changes the shape of this bag to more of a cubed design. Let me see if I can do this one just a little bit better. There we go. So again, when you have this bag filled up, that's going to be easier to do. But when you have these two buckles on either side connected, it actually changed the shape of that bag to a more cubed design. It's a more compact shape. It's going to be easier to carry, and it's going to be easier to store in the back of your vehicle, or in your truck, or in your boat. It's not gonna be taking up a whole lot of room. So that's a nice convenient feature that this bag offers. And while we're here, this does have a a side pocket, or a front pocket, however you'd like to describe it that can zip open and close. And this is going to be great for like your maybe utensils, napkins, other things that you want to keep at hand to go along with your beverages or food. So that's a nice convenient addition to this cooler as well. Now, the exterior is made of heavy duty 600d polyester, which is water and tear resistant. And on top of that there is a Scotch Guard top coat that's going to provide UV protection. So I'm very impressed with the durability of this cooler bag. It feels rugged. I don't think it's going to easily tear. I think it's going to be able to put up with quite a bit of punishment as you're transporting it and throwing it in the back of your vehicle, or your truck, or your boat, or what have you. And speaking of the durability, we have webbed handles that are going to be very durable as well. And as you can see, you've got two handles, one on either side with this hook and loop enclosure. It's going to make it very easy to carry. And then we have this adjustable shoulder strap that's going to also add to the ease of carry. Let me zoom out here real quick, and just throw this on my shoulder. You're not gonna have to worry about this getting tangled up, because it does swivel as well. So as you can see, this is going to add to the ease of carry. And then if you don't need the shoulder strap, you can easily remove it. You have these durable clips here that you can remove the shoulder strap and even throw it in that pocket if you so desire. Speaking of our shoulder strap, we have these tie downs points, two on each side, and you can use them for your shoulder strap, as you see here. Or you can use them for tying this down in your boat, or in the back of your truck to keep it secure, so you don't have to worry about this flying off of your vehicle, or flying off of your boat. So those tie down points are going to help you be able to secure this bag. And this is also going to fold down for easy storage. Even though it is very durable, it's flexible so you can collapse it down to easily store this. Now, just to go over some overall dimensions for you just to give you an idea of the size. In this cubed shape, the overall width, we're sitting right at around 17 inches wide in this shape and about 12 inches tall. And then the length or the depth, we're about 10 or so inches long. Of course, those measurements will vary when you put items in here. It might expand just a little bit more, but that kinda hopefully gives you an idea of the size of this bag. And again, this is going to hold up to 24 12 ounce cans. The volume that this carries is actually 24 quarts. And when this is empty, this weighs about three pounds. So before you start loading it down, it is relatively lightweight. But overall, if this bag meets the specifications that you are looking for, I think this is going to be a great item for you to consider. Again, the build quality is outstanding, and I think it's going to be very long lasting as well. Well, that's going to conclude our brief look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.
