If your gear lineup leans bold and your weekends don’t do boring, the Yeti Hopper Flip 8 Soft Cooler in Ultramarine Violet is ready to bring color and capability in equal measure. This striking shade turns heads at the beach, on the boat, and at the tailgate, while the Hopper Flip’s grit-and-grind construction keeps it firmly in the “serious equipment” category. It’s the compact cooler you grab when you want dependable performance, easy carry, and a look that stands out in a sea of neutrals.
The Hopper Flip 8 is sized for quick trips and efficient packing, but it still brings impressive capacity for its footprint. It fits 11 cans, making it a perfect match for a small crew, a day hike, or your personal stash of cold drinks and snacks. If you’d rather build a true ice bank, it fits 10 lbs of ice, giving you the cold coverage you need to keep things chilled through hot afternoons and long stretches away from the cooler refill station. With dimensions of 12.4” w x 8.6” d x 10.6” h, it slides neatly into tight spaces—behind the seat, under a bench, in a kayak, or alongside your camp box—without hogging room. And at 41.6 oz., it stays easy to handle, even when your loadout already includes a pack, rods, or a duffel.
Cold performance is where this cooler proves it’s more than a pretty colorway. Coldcell insulation is built to help hold temperature and slow down ice melt, so your drinks stay crisp and your food stays protected longer. Pair that with the Hydrolok zipper, designed to seal tight and help keep warm air out, and you’ve got a cooler that’s ready for real-world heat, sun, and all-day use. Whether you’re posted up at a campsite or bouncing between spots on the water, it’s built to keep your plans refreshingly on track.
Packing and access stay smooth thanks to the wide-mouth opening. You can load cans quickly, place ice where it’ll work best, and still have room to reach what you need without digging or cramming. When it’s time to grab a drink, hand one off, or pull out lunch, the opening makes everything feel quick and natural—no fumbling, no frustration, no wasted time when the fun’s happening right now.
The Hopper Flip 8 is also built tough from the outside in. The Dryhide shell is designed to resist punctures and abrasions, so it can handle rocky shorelines, rough ground, boat decks, and the general wear that comes with living outdoors. The Hitchpoint grid adds a layer of utility with attachment points for accessories and small gear, letting you customize your setup and keep certain essentials right where you want them. Add the shoulder strap, and you’ve got comfortable, hands-free carry that makes it easy to move from truck to trail to table without juggling your cooler like a suitcase.
