we used the cooler as carry on thing for a couple of years until we stopped bringing meats to the Island. We bought a smaller soft sided cooler (less than $10, made in Rhode Island) which holds 6 beers and a water and still has some room..because...you stick it in the freezer and the sides have a gel that serves as an ice replacement so more room

VERY skeptical that it would work but after hours in the sun at Happy Bay it kept everything nice and cold...and collapsed almost flat for travel
