It’s a well known fact that the only thing better than just drinking is drinking in public because it’s just the right amount of naughty. Technically you could get arrested, but that’s half the fun. (On that note, according to the lawyers we’re obligated to say “Cool Material does not condone or recommend public consumption.”) Walking around with a huge cooler filled with ice and cold ones isn’t just inconvenient, it’s an invitation for trouble. But a messenger bag, that’s a whole different story. The Timbuk2 Limited Edition Dolores Chiller 2 is a fully insulated, waterproof cooler capable of carrying (at least) 12 bottles of beer with an attached bottle opener that is disguised as a messenger bag. Take it to the beach, the pool or just out for a stroll and you will never be more than arm’s reach from a cold one.
