How much does the Yeti Hopper M12 hold?

It holds 12 liters, about 3.17 gallons, which is roughly a dozen cans plus ice. That suits two to four people for a day out.

Is the Hopper M12 a backpack or a tote?

It is a backpack-style cooler with shoulder straps and a padded back panel. You wear it rather than carry it by a handle.

Owners report ice lasting a full day, close to a small hard cooler. A hard cooler of the same size still holds ice longer in hot weather.

For one night it works if you pre-chill it and pack it full. For multi-day trips, a larger hard cooler holds ice longer.

Wipe it out with mild soap and water and let it air dry with the opening propped open. The wide mouth makes the interior easy to reach.

Yeti markets the closure as leak-resistant, and owners report no spills in normal use. It is not designed to be submerged or flipped upside down.
