Koozie® kooler bags are synonymous with summertime cook-outs, tailgate parties, campsites and everywhere else people gather to have fun. Just like with our famous can koolers; the Koozie® brand takes insulating your beverages and snacks seriously so you can keep the good times going.
We pride ourselves on being insulation experts and want to share that knowledge with you – our valued customers! Read on to learn more about choosing the perfect Koozie® kooler bag for your next promotion.
Keeping Things Cool
For those of us who need a science refresher, heat is transferred through convection and conduction, which are the main culprits of ice melting in your kooler bag.
- Convection: Air flow resulting in the transfer of heat
- Conduction: Heat that is transferred directly through a substance
By keeping the kooler lid closed, warm air can’t flow and melt the ice, so convection is minimal. However, heat energy coming from the walls of the cooler melts more ice. That’s why it is better to keep your kooler bag in the shade because even though conduction still happens, the process is much slower.
Soft-Sided vs. Hard-Sided Coolers

Soft-sided kooler bags are versatile and perfect for everyday use. Soft koolers are lighter, highly portable, easy to store and ideal for a wide variety of events and occasions – making them great promotional items!
Koozie® kooler bags use layers of foam to increase the ice retention property, so the ice takes more time to melt and helps keeps your snacks and drinks chilled until you’re ready for the party to end.
Hard-sided coolers are ready for rugged adventures where keeping items cold for extended trips may be important. They are more durable because they’re made from hard plastic with varying thicknesses of foam insulation to keep the contents chilled. Hard-sided coolers are more suitable for use in rugged terrain or during extended exposure to the elements. (1)
Plastic, hard-sided cooler options have seen an increase in retail popularity in recent years, driven by premium performance brands. These high-end coolers are often pricey and geared towards consumers willing to pay top dollar. (2)
