soft-sided cooler

Collapsible insulated bag

A soft-sided cooler is an insulated bag for keeping food and drinks cold, made from flexible fabric rather than rigid plastic.

Unlike hard coolers, they collapse for easy storage and often include shoulder straps or handles for portability: I packed sandwiches and beer in the soft-sided cooler for the beach.
