Materials

This cooler is made from stainless steel which is double-wall insulated. It comes with three pieces, including a lid that doubles as a bottle opener. Reviewers say it has a nice hand feel and functions well.

Effectiveness

What is great about this product is that the outdoor temperature doesn’t affect the temperature of the beverage. Once the beverage is at the ideal temperature for you, you can pop it into this cooler and drink at your leisure. It does not create condensation and will keep your drink around the same temperature that you started with for about two to three hours.

Versatility

The versatility of this product is one of its best features. Not only does it fit domestic bottles from the states, Central and South America, the Carribean, Europe, and Australia, but it also fits cans. It can accommodate regular and thin cans! To keep out thirsty bugs or for transport, there is also a lid included.

Durability

With a few exceptions, the durability of this product seems great! It is strong and insulated and can handle small falls. One part of the design that could be improved is the bottle opener. For many, it is more or less useless.

Style

Whether you’re going for a more incognito look or trying to show off your personal style, there is a color for you. The traditional colors include black or silver, and apart from that, you can also choose from camouflage, marble, or copper.

Value
As you can tell by its placement on our list, we think this is a great option. It is priced higher than some of the other options here, but its versatility is unbeatable.

Material

This is stainless steel, a double-walled insulator with a copper lining between the walls. Included is a freezable gel-filled adaptor that sits at the bottom of your can while in the insulator. The adaptor also works to make a 12-oz can fit into the insulator by giving it a little platform to sit on and raising it up a bit.

Effectiveness

The Hopsulator keeps drinks cold for hours and hours. If the frozen gel adaptor hockey-puck like the piece is used, the drink will obviously be colder and for longer. Even without the puck being frozen, the double-walled insulator will keep a chilled drink cold for quite a while.

Versatility

This product is designed for 12 and 16-ounce cans and works best with those options. However, users have found that they can also use it for 12-ounce bottles or most water bottles. The best part? You can even use the insulator itself as a glass by pouring liquid directly into it.

Durability

It’s a fairly thick stainless steel insulator so with proper use it should hold up pretty well, certainly more so than glass bottles without a cooler! The company, Brumate, really stands behind the long-lasting quality of their products.

Style

So far we’ve found metallic versions of the Hopsulator in matte, shiny, and even glittery finishes. The colors range quite a bit, too. Black, army green, rose gold, and even wood grain are some examples of color choices so you can most likely find something to fit your personal style.

Value

Since you’re basically getting three products in one with the Hopsulator, this is a great value. It sits in a price range lower than most beverage holders. Plus, you’re going to be less likely to waste money on unfinished cans, especially when you use that freezable adapter. It’ll pay for itself in that respect many times over.

Material

The Lounger insulator is made of 18/8 stainless steel so it’s quite durable and rust-resistant. The inner rim has angled gripper fins to keep your drink in place and the rubberized bottom keeps your insulator from sliding around on wet surfaces. It has a double-walled design to keep drinks cool for hours. We’re giving it bonus points for being 100% BPA free!

Effectiveness

The double-walled stainless steel keeps drinks cold for hours. It greatly limits the cold-feeling of handling the chilled drink and will allow for next to no condensation.

Versatility

Works for cans and bottles of various sizes. Rather slim bottles might not have as much grip, though. Users have found that you can still use it for these thinner bottles but it comes with a decrease in cooling time but can be remedied by inserting a paper towel or similar in with the bottle.

Durability

The rubberized bottom really helps with the durability of the Coleman insulator. With less knocking over and slipping off of surfaces, there will be less damage done to the outer steel. Don’t put it through the dishwasher and don’t freeze it and you should have a pretty long-lasting drink cooler.

Style

The style of the insulator is very Coleman-ish. That’s not a bad thing! They come in colors like sandstone, red, dark green, and black. Some users have personalized theirs with HTV vinyl for extra style.

Value

This is a pretty inexpensive choice. We’re talking less than a 24 pack of the cans or bottles you’re going to want to chill in it. We think this option is worth it, even if you aren’t going to use it every day, at this price range.

Material

These coolies are made of polyester (think scuba gear material) on a polyurethane foam insulation. They’re slightly stretchier than their neoprene cousins.

Effectiveness

These will keep your cans cool and your hands dry. They also have a covered bottom to use as a coaster and protect your surfaces.

Durability

Hand Wash for cleaning and layout to dry. They’re also durable enough for iron-on and heat transfer vinyl. You certainly don’t have to worry about them breaking if you drop them, either! Even if you did, which you don’t, they come in multipacks for less than the price of a fancy coffee most times.

Style

These get an A+ for style, even though they have a fairly simple design. If you buy them and use them as made, you can choose from a stunning variety of colors. Most users like to buy these for the ability to personalize them for themselves or gift-giving, though so that’s where they really shine when it comes to style.

Versatility

These are designed to fit standard 12 oz cans but users have used them for bottles as well. They have a bit of stretch to them due to their polyurethane material.

Value

These are seriously one of the best buys for your buck you can get if you need multiple coolers at a good price that will do the job with a fun look.

Material

The Rambler is made of 18/8 stainless steel so it’s very durable and rust-resistant. The outer finish is duracoat, an industrial finish that gives it a nice feel in your hand and provides resistance to rust and chipping.

Effectiveness

The Rambler is going to keep your can or bottle cold from first to the last sip, even if it takes you a long while to finish it. This cooler is double-walled and vacuum insulated for extra temp stability and a sweat-proof surface. It works for hot drinks, too.

Durability

Yeti claims the Rambler is chip resistant and dishwasher friendly and we believe it. This is a sturdy can cooler that should last you a long time.

Versatility

The rambler is designed to perfectly fit cans and bottles. It comes with an inner can that fits around your beverage bottle or can to keep it extra comfy and secure, along with the locking gasket ring.

Style

If you’re a Yeti fan already, you’ll love having a cooler that matches the rest of your containers. These come in typical Yeti colors from Seafoam to Charcoal and many choices in between.

Value

While you might be buying the Yeti name with this one, you’re also getting a really good quality drink cooler that’s going to last. The fact that it is dishwasher safe definitely increases its value in our eyes.

Material

This cooler is made of 18/8 stainless steel. It also comes with two additional neoprene koozies that can be placed on the inside of the insulator and around the can or bottle for an extra secure fit and superior temperature control. Users like the shiny stainless steel outer finish and some personalize with stickers, as there aren’t a ton of color choices for this one.

Effectiveness

The KelvZ cooler lives up to the companies promises of crisp, cold drinks hours after they leave the fridge. Even without the extra insulation of the inner neoprene insulator, users have found that their drinks stay cool in the direct hot sun for much longer than without the cooler. With the insulator, users have found their cans or bottles cold the next morning after leaving them out overnight.

Durability

It’s made of strong stainless steel and has a nice low center of gravity so it’s a pretty sturdy little holder. We don’t recommend putting it through the dishwasher, though some users have had no issue with doing so.

Versatility

It’s designed to fit 12 oz cans and bottles. The extra insulation can help secure some thinner cans or bottles, though.

Style

We love the simple, modern, stainless steel finish on this product. If you’re looking for a lot of color choices you’ll be better off with one of our other choices in this list. However, you can personalize with stickers!

Value

We think this is a risk-free purchase. The company stands behind their brand and products and even if it’s not everything you dreamed of (unlikely), it’s fairly inexpensive and has better features and user reviews than many coolers that cost upwards of three and four times more than the KelvZ.

Material

The material is referred to as Metric 66, a Metric USA specialty. It’s a really soft material that is collapsible, has a handle, and a bottom that works as a coaster. It’s also reversible for a different color. The shape of the surface really makes this one comfortable in your hand.

Effectiveness

This will keep your drink cold and your hands dry. More a hot drink person? This will keep your coffee or tea warm, too. We love the cozy aesthetic of the holder for warm drinks because, on a freezing cold day, you might not want a cold steel mug in your hand.

Durability

It would be hard to break these as they’re so soft and durable. They also come with a handle that doubles as a strap to hold it in its collapsed state for safe storage and long-lasting use.

Versatility

This product works for cans or bottles and has a bit of stretch for slightly wider styles.

Style

We love the color options for this choice. Not only do you get multiple colors, but each cooler is also reversible with a different color-way inside-out.

Value

You get a multi-pack of easy-to-care-for coolers with a cool handle and collapsible design for a really fair price. These are a good overall value for users.

Material

The bulk of the insulator is durable stainless steel inside and out. The collar of the product is rubberized. This gives you good hand-grippage and helps keep your can or bottle in place at the rim.

Effectiveness

Simply put, this will keep your can or bottle cold for hours. Chill the insulator in the fridge before use for extra cooling. The design allows for a vacuum seal optimal effectiveness.

Durability

The stainless steel is very durable but we also like the thick rubber collar because it takes the bulk of the shock and impact if the insulator is dropped.

Versatility

The Thermos insulator is designed for 12 oz cans but some users have no issue with bottles or even 16 oz cans.

Style

There are some color choices that mostly fall in the silver to gunmetal range and with varying logo colors. They look nice and sturdy in any color.

Value

Fun fact: one user did a school science experiment on different can insulators and the Thermos insulator beat out several other brands that were over twice the price. These usually come in a 2-pack, increasing the value.

Materials

This unique product features six pockets that are filled with non-toxic gel. When put in the freezer, the gel expands. The insulated foam and foil work together with the gel to keep your bottle perfectly chilled. There is no bottom to this sleeve, it simply slides over the bottle.

Effectiveness

Using this sleeve is simple, you place it in the freezer for about six hours (or more) before you need to use it. The cold air of the freezer activates and expands the gel. What is great about this product is that you can use it to quickly bring a room temperature bottle down to drinking temperature, or you can use it to maintain the temperature of a bottle without running back and forth to the refrigerator. It is unlikely that a bottle will last this long, but the Vacu Vin will keep a bottle chilled for about two to four hours.

Versatility

Clearly this product is made from wine bottles and will not work for much else. It fits standard 750ml bottles. If you are a champagne drinker, it’s best to not try to shove this sleeve over that bottle, but the manufacturer does make a specific sleeve for champagne. The Vacu Vin is lightweight and folds flat, making it easy to store and transport.

Durability

This product is flexible and incredibly durable. Unless you come at it with scissors, you shouldn’t have any issues. Many reviewers are still raving about the sleeve that they bought three to fifteen years ago.

Style

Honestly, for a formal event, this isn’t the most glamorous cooler. But for an evening in the park or on your back porch with friends, it’s great. It is available in twelve different colors and styles.

Value

If you are a wine drinker, this is a must. It is affordably priced and works well. As we can see from customer reviews, the product is long-lasting and dependable.

Material

The cooler is made of 18/8 stainless steel an is BPA free. It’s free of toxins and chemicals that can leach into your beverage. The bottom is a rubberized material for sturdy use and fewer tips and slips. It’s also good for the office because it doesn’t make loud clanking noises every time you set it down on a hard desk.

Effectiveness

If you put a cold can in and close the screw top lid onto the Rtic you’ll likely have a chilled drink waiting for you in up to and possibly beyond three hours.

Durability

The rubberized bottom lends a lot to durability because it keeps it from being knocked over as often as lightweight holders might be. The strong 18/8 stainless steel is very rust-resistant.

Versatility

This is designed for 12 oz cans or bottles of cold beverages

Style

We really like the stainless steel finish but you can also choose from a variety of other shiny colors and even a few matte options.

Value

The Rtic is slightly higher in price than some of the non-metal coolers but the strong steel and screw top, as well as the rubberized bottom, add a lot of extra value for the price to this choice.
