Is it for you
Buy it if
- Day trips and single overnights rather than a week out
- Space is the constraint, not capacity
- One person carrying it, loaded, some distance
Skip it if
- Group trips — this fills faster than you expect
- The premium is hard to justify at this size
The redesign made it taller and narrower, which sounds cosmetic and is not: bottles stand upright, and the footprint fits places the older shape did not. The strap handle makes it genuinely one-hand portable when loaded.
At this capacity the premium is at its hardest to defend, because plenty of cheap coolers keep ice for a day. You are buying the build, not the retention.
