Inner lining for the cooler is made from FDA approved, food-grade materials. The usable space is not small, but compared to the Hopper 30, the available space on the Hopper 20 seems somewhat inadequate. With ice packed into the cooler with the conventional 2 to 1 ratio, there is a noticeably small space for stuff you actually want to carry. Yeti Hopper 20 gets some good features thanks to its smaller size, but that size is a trade-off as well. Yeti hopper 30 full#With the soft-sided cooler being easy to carry, the total weight of a full cooler is far easier to manage when compared to conventional box coolers. That’s an acceptably low number for a cooler this size. The dry weight of this cold cooler is 4 lbs and 6 oz. The performance is the same for both coolers, and indeed, the Hopper 20 will keep the beverages cold for 3-4 days. While this is noticeably smaller than the Hopper 30, it does not lack in features. That is an acceptable volume, and will give you enough room to work with ice and the things you want to cool. Yeti Hopper Two 20 has a capacity of 20 liters. It is waterproof, leakproof, and well insulated to ensure good cooling. HydroLok zippers are leakproof and airtight, ensuring that they maintain the integrity of the cooler. With continued use, the foam and insulation will become more pliant and the cooler will be easier to use. It won’t be very tough, but it is something to be expected. When you first buy the cooler, it will seem to present some resistance. The sides, or even the insulation turning solid would defeat that purpose. The insulation and rubber foam do their job well, they’re also constructed in a way that the materials remain reasonably pliable. Welded seams and the HydroLok zipper have the same appearance and features as those on the Yeti Hopper 30. It uses the same ColdCell insulation with closed-cell rubber foam. Of course, it’s not just the exteriors that are responsible for the life of the cooler. Unless there is some major impact or improper use, this fabric will not give up. You would really have to try to damage this fabric. Going beyond its appearance, the high-density fabric of the shell is puncture-proof and leak proof. It has a great finish and its excellent appearance speaks volumes about the overall design of the cooler. The good part is that this doesn’t take a pick of form over function, or vice versa. Made from high-quality and high-density fabric, this shell is built to last for several years. It is smaller, but with a design and construction very similar to the other.Įxteriors are covered in the same impressive and practically indestructible DryHide shell. Speaking purely in terms of design and construction, the Yeti Hopper Two 20 is pretty much a diminutive sibling of the Hopper 30. Yeti Hopper 20 Review - The Little Cooler With Big Features Design And Construction Of course, the ice will start melting, and more will go with each day, but having a cooler work that well for several days is an impressive feat. If you use the conventional 2 to 1 ice ratio for your drinks and other stuff, you will find that the Yeti Hopper 30 keeps them chilled for 3-4 days. This is a cooler, you will have to add ice to cool things, and keep them cool. Do keep in mind, that is unlikely to be the same as carrying 30-liters of necessities. The cooler is capable of holding a volume of 30 Liters. The name of the Yeti Cooler Two 30 also makes an allusion to its capacity. Using it with the supplied instructions should help increase the life of the zipper, and by association, that of the bag itself. Yeti includes a Zipper Oil in the packaging to help improve the life of the zipper. And thus, special attention needs to be paid to the zipper. High-quality as it is, the zipper is a moving part in this cooler that is meant to last years. Use of this high-quality zipper is the reason Yeti can confidently have the zipper run across the top of the cooler, without worrying about insulation being spoiled. The zipper becomes a part of the insulation, not a chink in its armor. HydroLok Zippers used on the Yeti are of the same quality as those used in waders, hazmat suits, and dry suits. And certainly, a cooler wouldn’t expect waterproofing with a zipper this large. In most cases, we would expect this zipper to be the weak point of the insulation. There is a large zipper running through the top of the cooler. It’s difficult not to appreciate the quality, especially when it adds on increased accessibility. The generous dimensions of this insulation and the general high-quality of the insulation ensures that your beverages inside the cooler can stay cool for days. The highlight of this ColdCell Insulation is a closed-cell rubber foam. Yeti Hopper Two 30 has an impressive insulation at 1.5-inch thick.
