Expert Advice
The YETI Hopper M12 Soft Cooler Backpack is the ideal grab-and-go size for day missions, lakeside hangs and warm-weather wandering. It takes everything people love about the M20, but shrinks it into a lighter, more streamlined backpack that still packs serious cooling power. The MagShield Access is a standout feature—a magnetic opening that stays open while you load up bottles or cans, then snaps shut with a leak-resistant seal. Add in the comfy backpack carry, Kangaroo Pocket for quick-access essentials and the durability YETI is known for, and you’ve got a cooler built for adventure without the bulk.
What We Love
- MagShield Access makes opening and closing smooth, intuitive and reliably leak-resistant.
- Hands-free backpack carry is perfect for trails, paddle spots and beach days.
- Fits 20 cans or 5 kg of ice — impressive capacity for its compact footprint.
- ColdCell™ insulation keeps drinks cold for hours, even in summer heat.
- DryHide™ shell withstands scrapes, UV exposure and rugged outdoor use.
- Kangaroo Pocket provides quick storage for phone, wallet and keys.
Product Description
The YETI Hopper M12 Soft Cooler Backpack delivers powerful cooling performance in a smaller, more agile package. Designed for day trips, short hikes and spontaneous side missions, it comfortably fits 20 cans or 5 kg of ice, plus taller items like wine bottles. The slim, tapered design keeps the load close to your back, and the ergonomic straps help distribute weight evenly for easier hauling.
The cooler’s standout feature is its MagShield Access: an ultra-strong magnetic strip that creates a leak-resistant closure while staying open when you need full access. The DryHide™ shell is tough enough for rough terrain and sun exposure, with mildew-resistant interior and exterior treatments to prolong the cooler’s life. Inside, ColdCell™ closed-cell foam insulation delivers excellent ice retention, and the RF-welded liner ensures leakproof reliability. Attach extra gear via the HitchPoint™ Grid, stash essentials in the Kangaroo Pocket and head off into the day with hands free and everything chilled.

Q&A
Q: How many drinks can it hold?
A: The M12 fits up to 20 cans or 5 kg of ice, making it ideal for
day trips or small gatherings.

loading and then seal tightly with a gentle push, creating a
leak-resistant barrier.
Q: Does it carry comfortably?
A: Absolutely. The slim design and ergonomic straps distribute
weight evenly for hassle-free hauling.

or a few bits of trail food.

Brand info
Yeti
At Shore we sell a wide range of products instore and online from drinkware, accessories, coolers, clothing and much more. Us as a team at Shore we love the product as much as our customers it’s safe to say everyone love yeti and has every style and colour of drinkware there is. In 2006, the brothers founded YETI Coolers with a simple mission build the cooler they’d use every day if it existed. One that was built for the serious outdoor enthusiast. One that could take the abuse we knew we’d put it through out in the field and on the water. One that simply wouldn’t break. They decided early on that product innovation would come from necessity and first hand experience not from market research and data analysis. Today, YETI products perform when it matters most - whether that be an excursion into the remote Alaskan wilderness, chasing redfish on the Gulf coast, or just getting together with friends in the backyard.
