Amazon Basics 24-Can Cooler Backpack

Not every day needs a 30-litre expedition cooler. The Amazon Basics 24-can is the bag for the ordinary stuff — a work lunch, a few cold drinks, a trip to the park — and it earns its place by being simple and reliable rather than clever. The wide-open top is the star: instead of fighting a narrow zip, you fold it back, drop everything in, and clean it out just as easily at the end.

Inside is a PEVA foil lining that reflects heat and keeps the contents cold for hours with an ice pack, with a leakproof construction that keeps small spills contained. It's a compact 12 litres or so — right for one or two people — and light at 540 grams, so it never feels like overkill for a single lunch.

The carrying is flexible: wear it as a backpack or grab the top handle when you're just moving it from car to table. A front ribbon holds keys, and two side mesh pockets take a water bottle or your phone. It's the honest, no-drama option — and the one to pick if you want a dependable everyday cooler without paying for features you won't use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this too small for a family day out?

For a full family picnic, yes — it's a 24-can, roughly 12-litre bag aimed at one or two people and everyday lunches. If you're feeding three or more, look at the 28–30L bags in the range.

What's the advantage of the wide-open top?

Speed and cleaning. A wide mouth lets you see and load everything at once instead of posting items through a narrow zip, and it makes wiping the lining out afterwards much easier — which is what keeps a cooler from smelling.

Can I carry it by hand as well as on my back?

Yes. It has both a top grab handle and an adjustable shoulder strap, so you can wear it for the walk and then just lift it by the handle from car to table.

Do you deliver, and how long does it take?

Yes. Your delivery estimate for your address is shown at checkout before you pay, so you can see the timing first. Delivery is free UK-wide on orders over £30, with a flat £3.99 charge under that.

Can I return it if it isn't right?

Yes — you can return it in line with our returns policy for a refund. Keep the packaging where you can, as it makes the return tidier, and get in touch and we'll help.

Amazon Basics 24-Can Cooler Backpack: the simple everyday cooler

3 min read Frostline

The Amazon Basics 24-can is the bag for ordinary days — lunches, a few drinks, a quick trip out. Here's how to get the best from a deliberately simple cooler.

Make the wide mouth work for you

The broad opening is the whole appeal: pack it in one go, and at the end of the day fold it back and wipe the foil lining clean while you can see every corner. That habit alone keeps it fresh for years.

One good ice pack goes a long way

Because it's a compact space, a single well-frozen ice pack against the contents keeps a lunch cold for a normal working day. Pre-chill the food and you'll rarely need more.

Two ways to carry

Wear it on the walk, then grab the top handle to lift it the last few feet from car to picnic table — no need to shrug it on and off for short moves.
