Yeti Hopper M20 Soft Cooler Backpack Wetlands Camo

Expert Advice

The YETI Hopper M20 Soft Cooler Backpack is the ultimate hands-free cool bag for adventure days, road trips and off-grid exploring. By shifting the load onto your back, it frees up your hands for trekking poles, fishing gear, paddleboards or simply grabbing the dog’s lead. Its MagShield Access system is one of the smartest cooler openings around—powerful magnets create a leak-resistant seal that opens wide when you need it and snaps shut with a gentle push. With serious cold-retention, bombproof construction and a comfortable carry, the M20 is the cooler that goes where hard coolers simply can’t.

Product Description

The YETI Hopper M20 Soft Cooler Backpack delivers best-in-class portability and cooling performance, letting you carry a full day’s food and drinks comfortably on your back. With space for 36 cans or 10 kg of ice, plus room for tall bottles, it’s perfect for adventures where mobility matters—think steep trails, paddleboard launches, remote beaches or festivals. The ergonomic backpack straps distribute weight evenly, while the tapered shape keeps the load stable as you move.

The standout feature is the MagShield Access: a magnetic, leak-resistant closure that pops open wide for quick packing of beer, ice or lunch, then seals securely with a simple push. Paired with ColdCell™ insulation and a fully leakproof liner, it offers incredible cold-holding and reliable protection against spills. The DryHide™ shell withstands everything from sharp rocks to blazing UV, and mildew-resistant treatments extend the cooler’s lifespan. With a HitchPoint™ Grid for attaching extra gear, reinforced carry points and YETI’s signature toughness, the Hopper M20 is built for real-world adventure.
