A 30-can cooler is a versatile choice for a smaller gathering, while a 50-can cooler gives you more room for a larger group. Both the Tahoe and Pacifica Collapsible Coolers offer these sizes. Leave space for ice or ice packs when planning your load - food and cooling supplies reduce the room available for drinks.

Start with a cooler for drinks and chilled snacks, plus a hauler or crate for grilling tools, paper goods, blankets, and games. The 55L Gear Hauler Pro keeps bulky essentials together, while the 60L Collapsible Utility Crate helps organize supplies in your trunk and at your setup.

Pack pre-chilled drinks with ice or ice packs in an insulated Tahoe or Pacifica Collapsible Cooler. Keep the cooler closed between trips for refreshments and place it in the shade when possible. Cold retention varies with outdoor temperatures, how you pack, and how often you open the cooler.

These essentials are designed to collapse when empty. Tahoe Coolers and the Gear Hauler Pro fold down to approximately 2.5 inches high, Pacifica Coolers to 3 inches, the 60L Utility Crate to under 3 inches, and the Rolling Hauler Tote to 5 inches. Store them in your trunk, garage, or closet until the next game day.
