I'm showing $16 only for the Ivy Green and Ultramarine options. Graphite is still $28. I've had one of these coolers for the last two years or so and it's been pretty good for a smaller grab and go/travel option. Holds ice okay if you keep it out of the sun. The plastic bin inside makes it nice for leak proof, but if you tip it over, it will leak/dump water out of the top. You can't fit a ton in it, but it's enough to pack a few cold drinks or a travel lunch for the family in it. Anything taller than a can in the bottom you pretty much can't use the little SmartBin basket on top because lid won't shut.

The graphite seems OOS online now, the $28 is in store price.

Ah, I see that now. I was looking purely at "pick-up". It was still available locally to me, but price was different than the others. Online price still shows $16 even though it's OOS.

any recommendation for a similar size cooler (10-16 can) that has bit more insulation and interior space?

I know someone that has a similar cooler to the RTIC Ultra Tough Soft Cooler and it was pretty good, but I couldn't speak to longevity or anything. I borrowed it once before and it was roomier (although I don't know what size it was) and seemed decent for leak proofing and ice retention. I know everyone from Ozark to Yeti makes a version depending where you want to go price and quality wise and I believe there's a similar backpack and shoulder carry version at Sam's, but again I've never used those so can't speak from experience.

thanks for the link! my biggest concern is with the opening and closing via the zipper as the person im buying this for has arthritic hands and fingers. I figured something with a magnetic latch would be much better but i cant find anything in a smaller size. Then you get random quirks like the removal box which reduces capacity quite a bit. Ive looked from Ozark to Yeti and have yet to find that smaller size with latches / magnetic latch

Yeah, I understand. I don't like the zippers either and I know there's a few versions out there with latchable tops. Ozark used to make one, but i believe it's gone and most companies have gone the route of zippers, instead. Titan by Arctic Zone has one, but I don't know how tough the latch is to open and shut. I don't have any magnetic closure suggestions either.

I've had this cooler (same size, not pro version but looks the same) for about 2 years. Fits 16 cans without ice, keeps them cold for a few hours with regular openening/closing. Velcro is a bit warn but it still closes and can prob replace that for cheap. I don't need another bit this is good price. Outside and zippers have held up great.

I just replaced my larger (40+ can) soft-sided collapsible Arctic Zone after 13 years of great use. The shoulder strap was coming apart, and the zippers were on their last legs. I sometimes also had trouble grabbing the zipper tab when my hands would flare up, so I used one of those little lanyards that some folks use for cellphones or small cameras. It helped, something to get my fingers through and pull. I opted for the 40-can Arctic Zone Pro from Costco, with the magnetic latch (just to get away from zippers), and no plastic bin which IMO just take up space and reduce capacity. The magnetic latch is alright, very easy to open / close, but I'm not sure how long it will last as the plastic latch assembly doesn't feel overly solid (there was a review on Costco where the latch broke soon after purchase, and there was a recall earlier this year as the magnets fell out). The ones with a Velcro latch are probably fine, but Velcro does eventually start to fray and I hate the sound! 😝
Anyways, the 40-can Pro version that I just purchased does have other quirks, but overall Arctic Zone coolers (including their Titan line) have always performed quite well for me - I also own their expanding lunchbox size, and backpack version; but those are smaller / larger than the actual one in this thread. But if it helps, those already come with zipper lanyards, so a bit easier to grab. Good luck!
