*Taken mindfully with a tested brand-name tape measure
It has round corners and is inflexible, so the above measurements are maximums (not accounting for corners, that is). This ain't one to be stretched.
It's premium in appearance and the build quality seemed excellent. It's going back because it's not a lunch box, and that's what I needed. A good little lunchbox for my roommate's RA and Von Willebrands (hemophilia) medications. The latter is worth several thousand, so we can't take risks.
She wound up going with another brand's actual lunchbox which we loaded with ice packs and tested for 8 hours indoors (planning for a trip). It worked, cost less, and this one was too big to pack in a carry-on. For me, that's regrettable. I wanted to keep this one because of its design, quality, and beautiful "cactus" color, but it's too big for a lunchbox (unless you're packing for two: multiple meals, or for four single meals *simple) too small for a big haul of groceries.
Hydroflask DOES make an actual lunch box though, and I'd recommend their products readily having seen this one first-hand.

NASCAR! Don't think, just buy.
Bought "used - very good", item did not appear to have been used at all. $48.49 to my door.TLDR - Great all-around day trip cooler! 30 slim cans!This cooler fits the standard 14x14x14 max size for soft-sided coolers at NASCAR events, that's the first plus. I bought it to replace an RTIC Soft Pack 20 whose zipper seal tore and it couldn't be zipped closed anymore. I'm going to trim the seal on the RTIC and continue to use it.At first glance this Hydro Flask cooler seems thin and flimsy--and it is--but the rigid top makes a great armrest if you don't lean on it too hard (3 stars for sturdiness), and I was able to fit 30 (YES 30) slim cans into it with two Hello Fresh ice packs. The insulation is much thinner than Yeti or RTIC but doesn't seem to affect performance for a day trip. It's also VERY light when it's empty. The same can't be said about my RTIC. The rigid top also means there's a bit of extra room above the zipper. Probably could have fit four more slim cans into the cooler but I didn't for some reason. We ended up taking cans home that didn't get consumed, so no harm no foul. Cooler was packed up with cans from the fridge and the ice packs at 8:30 a.m. and when it was unloaded at around midnight the ice packs were still hard in the middle. The way it was packed, each can was making contact with the ice packs. The front pocket is useless for much more than a credit card, just like RTIC. The strap doesn't grip my shoulder too well, cross-body carrying required. If you're larger and can't cross-body carry, look elsewhere or upsize the strap. The strap isn't attached using D-rings, it uses sewn-on webbing loops. You could probably swap the strap and clip one on to the webbing but you'd need to add a carabiner to each side or engineer a quick solution.Hydro Flask makes some awesome insulated bottles, so I had high hopes for this. It did not disappoint. It will absolutely not be my multi-day camping cooler, but for a day trip cooler it's perfect. The nylon skin seems very durable. The inner skin is thinner (4 stars for durability) than the RTIC but with responsible use and keeping sharp items out of it, I think it'll be fine. I will not be crushing my cans and putting them back in the cooler. It's not waterproof like the RTIC so I recommend and will probably continue to use sealed ice packs instead of ice.
