Yeti Roadie 24

The new Yeti Roadie 24 is a hard-sided personal cooler designed for easy hauling and comfortable carrying. Rotomolded construction makes it lighter weight at 12.8 pounds and extremely strong, while keeping contents cold for longer periods of time. A Quicklatch makes it easy to open and secure. The interior is 13 inches, which fits a 2-liter bottle of soda or a bottle of wine upright and up to 18 cans of beer. The cooler measures 17 1/2 × 16 1/2 × 15 1/4 inches.  The small profile of the cooler allows it to be stored right behind the front seat of a vehicle for easy access on the road. Available in multiple colors and with an optional dry goods basket.

Phoozy Apollo II XL

The Phoozy Apollo II XL provides multi-purpose protection for your phone. It acts like a life jacket for your phone to help it float in case it falls into the water. It helps extend battery life up to three times in cold conditions, which typically drains battery life faster. The case also helps protect your phone by reflecting more than 90 percent of heat generated by the sun to prevent overheating. Additional protection is provided from drops and the case seals to keep dirt, sand, and water out. Using NASA-derived technology, the Phoozy will not interfere with cellular, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth signals.
