Our take on the Yeti Hopper Flip 18 Cooler

The Hopper Flip 18 is Yeti's soft-sided cooler bag, a 17.7 x 12.8 x 11.5 inch tote that holds roughly 18 cans of beer or soda with ice. It uses a thick closed-cell foam body and Yeti's Hydrolok zipper, which is waterproof and leak-resistant but stiff and needs two hands to open. It weighs about 4.5 lb empty, so it carries easily over a shoulder with the included strap. Owners like the build and ice retention for a soft cooler; the main complaints are the zipper effort and the fact that it is not fully leakproof when tipped.

What reviewers say

Reviewers rate the Hopper Flip 18 highly for ice retention and build quality, calling it one of the best soft coolers for a day out. The recurring complaints are the hard-to-open zipper and the price relative to simpler soft bags.

What people mention
  • Ice retentionPraisedOwners say ice lasts a full day and often into the next on hot outings.
  • ZipperCriticisedMany find the Hydrolok zipper stiff and awkward to open, especially with wet hands.
  • Build qualityPraisedReviewers describe the shell, liner and strap as tough and well made.
  • LeakproofingMixedIt seals well upright, but some owners report water escaping when the bag is tipped or laid on its side.
  • PortabilityMixedThe shoulder strap helps, but the bag gets heavy and bulky once loaded with ice and drinks.

Questions and answers

How many cans does the Hopper Flip 18 hold?
Yeti rates it at about 18 cans using a 2:1 ice-to-can ratio. Real-world capacity drops if you pack more ice or larger bottles.
Is the Hopper Flip 18 leakproof?
The Hydrolok zipper is waterproof, but the bag is not designed to be fully leakproof when tipped or submerged. Keep it upright in the car or boat.
How does it compare with the Hopper Flip 12?
The 18 is larger and holds roughly six more cans, while the 12 is lighter and easier to carry for one or two people. Both share the same zipper and insulation design.
Can I carry it over my shoulder?
Yes. It comes with a removable shoulder strap plus side grab handles, and at about 4.5 lb empty it is manageable before loading.
How do I clean the inside?
The wide opening lets you wipe the liner with mild soap and water. Leave the zipper open to dry fully before storing.
Is it good for keeping food cold on a road trip?
It works well for a day of driving or a picnic, but it is a soft cooler, so for multi-day trips a hard cooler holds ice longer.
Where is the Yeti Hopper Flip 18 Cooler cheapest?
At Academy Sports, for $300.00, as of our latest check.
