YETI Hopper M20 Backpack Cooler, Soft Sided Cooler Backpack, Holds 36 Cans
SKU:
Description
The YETI Hopper M20 is a backpack cooler, a soft sided cooler you wear on your back so both hands stay free for rods, chairs, a tackle bag or a kayak paddle. It holds up to 36 cans with no ice, or up to 22 lbs of ice by itself, and a wine bottle stands upright inside.
The top opens through YETI's MagShield Access, a strip of strong magnets that stays open while you load and snaps shut with a push to hold the cold in. ColdCell closed cell foam insulation keeps drinks and food cold, and the RF welded liner has no stitched seams, so the liner is leakproof. The DryHide shell resists punctures and UV, and the inside and outside are treated to resist mildew.
A slim, tapered shape and padded backpack straps spread the weight for the walk from the truck to the beach, the creek bank, the dock or the tailgate. The HitchPoint grid on the front holds a YETI SideKick Dry gear case, a Rambler Bottle Sling, a bottle opener, zingers or a multitool. Every pick up point is double stitched.
Which Hopper should I get?
- Hopper M20: 36 cans, the full day pack for two or more people.
- Hopper M12: smaller, for one person, and adds a kangaroo pocket for a phone and keys.

FAQ
How many cans fit with ice? YETI rates 36 cans with no ice. With ice, plan on fewer. YETI pairs the M20 with its Large Ice Sheet to save space.
How long does it keep ice? YETI does not publish an hour rating. Pre chill the cooler and drinks, pack plenty of ice, keep it shaded and open it less for the longest cold.
Can I use dry ice? No. YETI says Hopper soft coolers are not made for dry ice.
Can I take it on a plane? YETI says the M20 should fit most overhead bins. Call your airline first.
Was the M20 recalled? YETI's 2023 voluntary recall covered Hopper M20 coolers sold from March 2018 through January 2023 for the magnet closure.
How do I clean it? Rinse with soap and water, wipe the MagShield opening clean, then dry it open and upside down.
