“Love it. Perfect for a small picnic, lightweight and takes small ice pack in the lid.”
With the current warm weather and whether you’re planning to make the most of the sunshine with a picnic or a leisurely walk, or simply commuting to work, having a cold drink on hand will be essential.
Thankfully, one compact gadget can keep your drinks and snacks cool throughout the day, and some customers can obtain it for free by taking advantage of a cashback offer .
The Ice Backpack Cooler is priced at £15 at Argos, however, a promotion from TopCashback allows new members to receive a complimentary £15 welcome bonus alongside cashback on any Argos purchase of £15 or above. This effectively means the Ice Backpack Cooler can be snapped up at no cost once the cashback has been processed.
Customers will need to pay the initial £15, but this sum will be credited back to their TopCashback account as cashback, which can then be transferred to a bank or PayPal account. It should be noted that cashback isn’t issued immediately and may take up to seven days to appear in accounts.
This price includes free click and collect, with standard delivery starting at £4.95 or complimentary for smaller items when spending over £100. To claim the offer, shoppers simply need to complete their purchase via this unique link , reports the Manchester Evening News.
Perfect for day hikes or picnics, the Ice Backpack Cooler maintains the freshness of your food and beverages without the hassle of carrying a cool box. Its insulated design preserves temperature for hours, ensuring sandwiches remain fresh and drinks stay cold from the car park right through to the campsite.
The lightweight build won’t burden you during walks, while the hands-free backpack format allows you to carry additional equipment or keep children under control. An internal bottle holder system secures drinks upright, preventing any tipping or spillage while on the move.
The space-efficient design has enough space for a family lunch or a full day’s snacks without taking up boot space. The durable fabric withstands regular outdoor use and cleans easily after muddy excursions, with the internal bottle holder ensuring everything remains within easy reach when required.
For those with a larger budget, Dunelm offers the Three Rivers 2 Person Backpack with Picnicware for £59. This backpack includes all the necessities for an ideal outdoor meal for two, featuring two acrylic wine glasses, two acrylic plates, and two sporks.
The 15-litre insulated section is ideal for maintaining your food and beverages at the perfect temperature for as long as six hours. Thanks to the white PEVA heat-sealed interior, any spillages can be quickly wiped clean.
Alternatively, the Lifewit 21L Soft Cooler Backpack Bag is £20.99 on Amazon. This multi-purpose insulated rucksack can hold up to 30 cans and features several pockets for convenient hands-free transport during picnics, camping trips or family days out.
Meanwhile at Argos, the Ice Backpack Cooler has received almost 30 five-star reviews. One customer commented: “Love it. Perfect for a small picnic, lightweight and takes small ice pack in the lid.”
Another reviewer shared: “Put a frozen bottle of water in at 8am and it still had ice in it at 5pm after being in 26°C heat all day. Excellent bag, plenty of room for a few bottles of drink and sandwiches.
“Highly recommend, would buy again. I love it, handy big pocket on the front for a phone, for example.”
A third customer explained: “I bought this because I no longer own a car so do a lot of my shopping on foot and bus,” a third said. “I buy frozen fruit and veg because they keep better, but I’m often buying several 1KG or 500g bags at a time and this is too much to carry with all the other bits and pieces.
“So, I bought this. I can now put all my frozen food in this on my back and still carry two bags with my others shopping. Keeps tighter frozen stuff nice and cool and it comfy so very happy. Big enough for me and very light.”
The Ice Backpack Cooler hasn’t attracted any critical feedback online, though there are a few considerations worth noting before making a purchase. With a 10-litre capacity, it’s perfectly suited for transporting a packed lunch, but may fall short for family-sized picnics.
Additionally, the bag comes exclusively in blue, which might not suit everyone’s preferences. Despite this, another satisfied Argos customer praised their recent buy , stating: “I bought this two weeks ago for a road trip and it kept drinks cold throughout. Well worth the price.”
A separate five-star review notes: “I bought this for a holiday and took it on a hike. It was perfect for the job.
“It’s big enough for two (500ml) water bottles, a small first aid kit and I could have fit a snack in too, if I’d had one. I used the side pocket for sun cream and it was really comfortable to carry for the walk, which was about 90 mins. Really happy with it.”
