Don Coolio, he knows la aventura. Don Coolio, he was made for la aventura. Don Coolio, he has muchos colores. Don Coolio, he travels muy bueno. Don Coolio, he turns the head of men and women alike. Don Coolio, he keeps everything cool, even when it is too caliente outside. How have you not met Don Coolio? Perhaps that is because Don Coolio is the newest and drippiest cooler to ever exist, a satchel that keeps drinks and foods cold, made especially for people who choose a live of adventure and experience.

There’s nothing better than a cold drink at a forest waterfall (like Tamul in Mexico) or on a mountain peak (loved this atop Taylor Peak in the Tetons). Except maybe a picnic on the beach, especially if you had to hike through a jungle, or down a cliff, or both (Waipio Hawaii, anybody?). Ice water at Burnside skatepark in the summer. Cold beers at a bonfire kickback like at San-O in August. Yeah, a quality cooler is a game changer for a life lived well. Don Coolio was made for living that life, being first and foremost a next-level functional temperature controller. That means it keeps your food and drinks on ice for days, even on their most base-line option.

But given this is an adventure cooler, you best believe they added in straps for easy carry (two words: backpack cooler). And you best believe they shaved weight wherever they could because every ounce less of material you’re carrying means 1 once more of liquid you can bring to the party. Because let’s be perfectly clear: this cooler was designed for the party, no cap.

Don Coolio is stylish, no doubt. A mustachioed sloth in a Hawaiian shirt wearing a sombrero, just a chill dude welcome everywhere, yes, the company mascot is the epitome of Don Coolio the cooler company. Climbing ropes double as beefy straps that speak to the adventure that drives these coolers. Some have built-in bottle openers. All are collapsible, making the return to civilization once you’ve lightened the liquid load considerably easier. The Don Pack can hold 36 cans for 72 hours of coolness, weighing in at just over 2 pounds; the Don Tote, at a pound and a quarter, cools a case of beer for 48 hours; then the Don 6’Er is made for the stooplife, keeping 6 tallboys cool for 36 hours at a weight of about a pound and change.

Then there are the colorways, with more swagger than Kendrick after getting the whole world to call his enemy a pedophile; Don Coolio coolers are set to make a bigger splash than a fat dude at a belly flop contest. With names like Taco Tuesday (perfect for infinite pools and Baja beach blanket bingo), Forest Daddy (who prefers the woodlands and leafy greens), Orange AF (dark orange handlebar staches in a sea of tangerine), understated Incognito and the bougie Denim Drift (conjuring memories of Nantucket boat parties and the La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club).

Pros & Cons

Pros:

  • Exceptional Cooling Performance & Portability: Don Coolio coolers are designed to keep food and drinks cold for extended periods (e.g., 72 hours for the Don Pack) and feature lightweight construction with backpack straps for easy transport, making them ideal for adventure.

  • Unique Style & Lifestyle Accessory: Beyond functionality, Don Coolio coolers boast distinctive designs, vibrant colorways (with creative names), and a fun, adventurous brand mascot, making them a statement piece that enhances the “vida buena” lifestyle.

  • Practical Features & Robust Build: They include useful features like climbing rope straps, some with built-in bottle openers, and a collapsible design for convenient storage. The materials are high-end and built for durability in adventurous settings.

Cons:

  • No specific cons were mentioned in the review. The tone is entirely positive and promotional.

Don Coolio is for la vida buena

Don Coolio is fashion and function and drinking, three of the greatest parts of a life of exploration, combined into a single rugged product. The Don brings colors and designs sure to turn heads; features that blow away the competition; and a vibe that makes it more lifestyle accessory than simple temperature shield.

Don Coolio is made by people who also live the way you live. Don Coolio, he likes to farm the aura. Don Coolio, he likes to go beyond where the others go, to meet with the people who prefer to live off the map. Don Coolio, he is dedicated to la vida buena. If you are too, then Don Coolio would be very pleased to join you on your journey.
