We were at the sporting goods store yesterday, and we saw the coolest thing in preparation for our trip.
It was a backpack cooler. There was an area which held on the bottom 6 cans/or maybe quite a few water bottles.This was the bottom/front of the backpack.
The other part was a regular backpack. We have traditionally used just a regular backpack, but was wondering the pros and cons of this setup.
Pros: Other stuff won't get wet from the condensation of water bottles
No need for a fanny pack or water bottle straps (which I can't find anyway!)
Cons: Possible weight problem, could the backpack get heavy?
We normally use a regular backpack from my DH's college days, and it has worked fine. But now the kids are older, and we are going in a hotter month.
Any other opinions on this? I can't decide. The backpack cooler is $24.99, so not too terribly expensive
