How many cans does the Hopper Flip 18 hold?

Yeti rates it for about 30 cans, or 28 pounds of ice. Real-world capacity drops if you add ice packs.

Is the zipper really leakproof?

Yes. The Hydrolok zipper is designed to seal fully, so the bag can be carried upright without leaking. It needs occasional lubricant to stay smooth.

How long does it keep ice?

Most owners report ice lasting a full day in warm conditions. Multi-day trips usually need a hard cooler.

Does it come with a shoulder strap?

The bag has carry handles. A shoulder strap is sold separately for some versions, so check what is included.

Is it good for flights?

It works as a personal item on many airlines, but it is bulky when full. Measure against your airline's carry-on limits first.

How does it compare with the Hopper Flip 12?

The Flip 18 holds more cans and ice and suits group outings. The Flip 12 is lighter and easier for one or two people.
