There is a fine line here that a cooler must walk along to be ideal for golf. Simply put, Contents is all about what the cooler can carry. Once again, I'm going to focus on three areas: Contents, Coldness, and Cart-ability Like I did with the Hopper Flip 12, my goal is to see if the Hopper Flip 8 is the go to cooler for the golfer looking to take libations and liquids to the course. It's so much easier to carry, and it gives you another place to anchor the cooler to things, like a kayak, or a push cart. Sure, you can just lift the cooler from the shoulder strap or side handle, but as soon as I picked up the Hopper Flip 8 from the top handle, I knew that Yeti made a great decision by adding it. As I said, I used the Hopper Flip 12 quite a bit this summer, and the lack of top handle was a bit inconvenient. Sure, we lose a bit of the flat top surface area, and the Yeti logo, but I welcome the new handle with nothing but enthusiasm. While similar to the Hopper Flip 12, the Hopper Flip 8 does have one fantastic new feature: The Top Handle. Should something go south with your Yeti, they also have one of the best warranty reputations in the business. Yeti is known for making coolers that can withstand punishment while keeping contents cold, or warm if you need it to go that way. The Hopper Flip 8 has the same Yeti bones as the Hopper Flip 12, and that's a good thing. COLDCELLâ„¢ INSULATION - Closed-cell rubber foam offers far superior cold-holding to ordinary soft coolers.The liner is made from an FDA-approved food-grade material. DRYHIDEâ„¢ SHELL - The Hopper's high-density fabric is waterproof and resistant to mildew, punctures, and UV rays.HydroLokâ„¢ Zipper and wide-mouth opening means great accessibility and visibility to contents.Cubed body makes it easy to haul and store.The Hopper Flip 8 is your new day trip MVP. The Hopper Flip 8 has the insulation power only a YETI can offer, and is engineered to be tough – because flying solo doesn't mean you won't get a little dirty. The Hopper Flip in a new smaller size is perfect for keeping your food and drinks cold while out in the field. One of the joys of a day trip is traveling light. My thinking was that the smaller Hopper Flip 8 could hit the perfect sweet spot, with a size of large enough to carry, but small enough to fit. The Hopper Flip 12 was so close to being the ultimate course cooler. The Hopper Flip 8 is the one whose golf potential caught my eye, and the one that I'm sharing my thoughts about with you today. Yeti has now added two new Hopper Flips to the line-up: A larger Hopper Flip 18, and a smaller Hopper Flip 8. I even bought a Yeti Sidekick for it to hold the keys, phone, and such, and it couldn't have worked out better.

That said, the Hopper Flip 12 was my go to summer poolside BBQ cooler this summer. The hopper Flip 12 was great at holding beers and keeping them cold, but the size was a little large for ideal golf course usage. I ran that cooler through Contents, Coldness, and Cart-ability trials. Back in May, I reviewed the first Yeti flip-top cooler, the Hopper Flip 12.
