For those days when you don’t have the time to go camping or hiking but need to be outdoors, a picnic in the park will do in a pinch.  In just such a situation a necessary piece of outdoor gear is a cooler and, if it comes in the form of a backpack, all the better. Imagine this – finding a quiet corner of the park, sitting under a shady tree, eating cheese and grapes with a fresh baguette, and sipping on some ice-cold white wine – ummm, exquisite!  This only works if the wine is icy cold and what better way to keep it cold than having it packed in the REI Backpack Cooler? This amazing backpack cooler has 2 insulated compartments with removable waterproof liners that are 100% PVC free. You can load up one compartment with ice covering the wine while the other compartment can hold all the food. Even if you had to walk a bit to find this idyllic picnic spot it would not be a hardship because the REI Backpack Cooler has padded adjustable shoulder straps and a sternum strap that make it easy to carry a load comfortably. It even has lash straps so you can strap on a picnic blanket. Have a look at this nifty backpack cooler.
