This bag is awesome. You can use it anytime and almost anywhere. The cooler is almost sealed tight and waterproof. I have yet to experience any leaks. There is plenty of room for a six pack and food.

My only complaint it the opening and closing of the cooler compartment. The dry cargo area is above the lid of the cooler. It makes it kind of awkward getting into the cooler while balancing the top to keep the whole thing from falling over. Although, it's not that big of a deal.

Overall, it's great and I'd recommend it to anyone who wants an insulated backpack that's surprisingly comfortable and has enough space for food and drinks. 5 stars

I used this backpack once and I intend to continue using it for trips to the park (small picnics). If your looking for a product for small picnics for two people, this is great.

PROS:
Enough space for 7-8 (12 oz.) bottles and ice in cooler compartment. Enough space for sandwiches, fruit, silverware, napkins, bagged snacks, etc... in top compartment. Extra front side pocket for misc stuff. Durable Zipper. Straps are large enough for the big athletic body types.

CONS:
Condensation of the cooler compartment. The product gets really wet towards the bottom of the bag due to condensation of all the ice. For a moment I thought the bag was leaking but finally figured it. 4 stars
