When the plan involves real miles, long afternoons, and cold drinks that stay cold, the Yeti Hopper Backpack Soft Cooler M20 in Black Forest Green is the kind of gear that makes everything feel easier. It’s built to carry like a backpack, chill like a hard cooler, and keep up when the day goes from parking lot to trailhead to tailgate without slowing down.
Capacity is the sweet spot for serious outings: it fits 36 cans (only) or 22 lbs of ice (only), so you can load it for a full crew and still keep things organized. It’s also wine bottle compatible, which is a small detail that makes a big difference when you’re packing for picnics, cabin weekends, or that “let’s make this a little nicer” kind of evening by the water. With dimensions of 15.3” w x 9.9” d x 18.1” h, it’s roomy without feeling bulky, and the tall, upright layout makes it easier to stack items smartly and grab what you want without digging around.
The cooling power comes from Yeti’s Coldcell insulation, designed to hold temperature when the sun’s working against you. Pair that with the Dryhide shell and you’ve got a tough exterior that’s ready for scrapes, bumps, and the general abuse that outdoor gear is guaranteed to see. Toss it in the truck bed, set it down on rough ground, or squeeze past crowded tailgate setups—this thing’s made to handle the real world, not just look good in the garage.
Access is where the M20 really shines. The Magshield access system gives you a wide opening so loading and unloading doesn’t feel like a puzzle, and it snaps shut with that satisfyingly secure feel you want when you’re carrying cold cargo on your back. It’s quick to get into, easy to seal up, and makes the whole cooler feel more like a well-designed pack than a floppy soft bag.
Comfort matters when you’re actually carrying a cooler, and Yeti clearly built this with an ergonomic fit in mind. The backpack design spreads weight better, rides more naturally, and keeps your hands free—whether you’re hauling gear to the campsite, walking a beach path with chairs in tow, or hiking in to a fishing spot where cold drinks and fresh provisions are part of the reward. Even at 89.6 oz., it’s engineered to carry in a way that feels stable and comfortable when it’s loaded up.
And then there’s the Hitchpoint grid—Yeti’s answer to bringing a little modular practicality to the party. It gives you attachment points for the extras you always end up needing, making it easier to customize your setup and keep essentials within reach. It’s the kind of thoughtful feature that turns a cooler into a system, especially for long days where you’re packing more than just beverages.
The Black Forest Green colorway finishes it off with a rugged, outdoorsy look that feels classic and capable. It’s understated, sharp, and ready to go anywhere you do.
