About the Product
The Hopper was built for those adventures where you want to grab your gear and go. It’s the original 100% leakproof, ice-for-days portable cooler. And because we used materials found in things like HazMat suits and whitewater rafts, it’s also tough as nails.
The weekend is young, so pack up your new Hopper Flip 18 and head for the hills. The bigger build suits your larger hauls and longer expeditions.

What customers say about "Features"
YETI Hopper Flip 12 Portable Cooler
- The Yeti products are so good. This one keeps our drinks cold for a long time and it doesn't leak. The zipper is very secure.
- Either way I’ve taken this cooler fishing and holds enough food/drinks for the whole day.
- Works great, keeps things cool much longer than normal coolers
- Ice keeps longer than other coolers. I like that it has a strap and handlle, but the zipper is hard to open and close.
- It was roomy enough to fit my pump, pump parts, and several bottles and it kept my milk very cold for over 8 hours.
YETI Hopper Flip 18 Portable Cooler
- I’m hopeful that application of supplied zipper lubricant and continued use the zipper will eventually not require both hands to operate.
- Zipper works fine and didn’t have a hard time opening.
- Ice keeps longer than other coolers. I like that it has a strap and handlle, but the zipper is hard to open and close.
- I have been using the cooler 5 days a week for approximately 8 months. The zipper failed today.
- And honestly the zipper looked like it would have been an issue - it wasn't very smooth to zip and unzip.
