I have the Engel soft ice chest that has the backpack straps. Works better than any other soft ice chest I've had. I use it when we go to the beach and after all day when you put it on to walk back to the hotel, your back isn't wet.

I have an RTIC that gets used weekly. I haven’t used my Yeti soft cooler in months. Flip top over clam top 10/10. If the Engel is cheaper than RTIC, get it. If not, look at RTIC.

AO Coolers are great. I use the 36 in my kayak.

Same here. I rarely use my old style hopper. The flip lid on my RTIC is great.

I have one. It works pretty good, but doesn’t hold ice as well as other soft sided ice chests I have. It will hold ice for most of the day, which is perfect for a beach trip or a day on the boat. My AO holds ice much longer, but the backpack straps on the Engel is what sold me.

Never heard of Engel, but as others have stated, i have the RTIC soft 20 and 40. I prefer the 20 only because i end up putting so much shite in the 40 and it gets pretty heavy to carry from where i park to where i tailgate. The 20 is my boat drink ice chest, so i use it almost every weekend.

Don't know which Ozark Trail cooler you have, but I bought this one (Ozark Trail Premium Jumbo Tote) on Black Friday last year for only like $20 and it has been phenomenal, works great. We use it inside the car for pretty much every trip we take and will easily keep ice all day long.

I also hear great stuff about Polar Bear soft coolers.

I may get one of those simply because of how much I hate getting things into the top of my Yeti.
