The Yeti Hopper Flip 18 Soft Cooler in Rescue Red is built for bold days and hard use, with a color that’s impossible to miss and performance that’s even harder to beat. That vivid red finish looks sharp on the tailgate, at the campsite, or on the dock, and it’s practical when you’ve got a lot going on—one glance and you’ll know exactly where the cold drinks are waiting. It’s a cooler that shows up ready, keeps up all day, and still looks clean when everything else is covered in dust, sand, or road grime.
Sized for real plans, the Hopper Flip 18 balances capacity with portability in a way that’s tough to top. It fits 30 cans, making it an easy pick for game days, road trips, and cookouts, and it can handle up to 28 lbs of ice when you’re committed to maximum chill. At 72 oz. empty, it’s substantial without being cumbersome, giving you that rugged, dependable feel when you grab it by the handles or sling it over your shoulder. And with dimensions of 17.7” wide x 11.5” deep x 12.8” high, it’s compact enough to tuck into a vehicle without playing cargo-jenga, yet roomy enough inside to make packing simple.
Cold performance is where the Hopper Flip 18 really shines. Yeti’s Coldcell insulation is designed to slow heat transfer and help keep contents colder for longer, so your drinks stay crisp even when the sun’s doing its best to cook everything in sight. Pair that insulation with the HydroLok zipper, and you’ve got a sealed setup that’s made to lock in the cold and keep warm air out. The zipper is purpose-built for serious cooler duty, giving you a tight closure that feels secure every time you slide it shut.
Loading and grabbing what you need is easy, thanks to the wide-mouth opening. You’re not fighting a narrow top or digging around blindly—this cooler opens up to give you real access, so you can stack cans efficiently, layer in ice, and still have room for snacks. When you’re hosting or traveling, that matters. It keeps the pace moving, helps maintain cold retention by making quick grabs quicker, and makes the whole cooler feel more user-friendly without sacrificing toughness.
Speaking of toughness, the DryHide shell is made to handle the rough stuff. Whether it’s bouncing around in the back of a truck, sitting on rocky ground, or getting dragged into the shade under a tree, it’s built to resist punctures and abrasions and keep asking for more. The Hitchpoint Grid adds another layer of utility, giving you attachment points for clipping on gear and accessories so you can customize your carry and keep essentials close. And for comfort on the move, the included shoulder strap makes hauling it from the car to the lake—or from the parking lot to the stands—feel easier and more natural.
