re: Awesome soft side cooler

I don't put fish in a soft side, so I don't have any experience with it. But I would doubt the AO interior is any stronger than the Polar. The Polar interior is pretty heavy duty material.
If you're cutting off fins and waiting for them to calm down before putting them in, I wouldn't imagine you would get any punctures in the polar either.
But I would buy a fishbag before using either an AO or a Polar for fish. They seem to be much more suited for the task. They are long enough to where you don't have to bend them or double them up.

I think it's the same material- a thick textured vinyl; both coolers are pretty much identical and if you put them next to each other you really can't tell the difference.
It sounds like everyone in this thread is saying Polar's are just made for food and drinks, or at least marketed as such. I'm just pointing out that the AO's are marketed as fishing coolers and not just the F&D. For those looking for a cooler to pull double duty, the AO may be a better alternative, as the vinyl exterior IMO is better suited to the task over the canvas of the Polar.
As for the fishbag- is it insulated? Pretty much a requirement in the summer months here. The AO fits perfectly in the front hatch of my Hobie; when fishing from a kayak you're limited on space and I'm not too concerned if the fish get contorted to fit in the bag! They bend back at the cleaning station.
