Between the beach trips and backyard barbecues, there are many occasions when you’ll need to lug around your drinks and snacks. You don’t have to default to a hard shell cooler, and can instead opt for an easy-to-transport backpack cooler. Target’s in-house brand Sun Squad includes three fun options that go along with the season.
You might recognize these backpack coolers from the past couple years. They were first released in 2019, and the Pineapple design was the clear winner. It was brought back the following year, along with Watermelon and Striped options, with an upgraded look. All three of those designs are back for 2022, and they look new and better than ever!

The Pineapple Backpack Cooler features a yellow hue with fruit skin-like detail, green touches, and a crown by the top handle. For those who prefer watermelon, the Watermelon Backpack Cooler has a mix of a seed design and actual watermelon prints, resulting in a bright red piece with green and black detailing. The Stripe Backpack Cooler offers a more neutral option, complete with different shades of blue, pink, white, yellow, and coral.
Each of these fun backpack coolers have insulation to keep the contents cool. They feature zippers and a tote handle and shoulder straps to ensure you can carry them with ease. While you can certainly fill one with a mix of drinks and snacks, to give you an idea of how much can fit in there, it can hold up to 20 beverage cans. Bring on the soft drinks and hard seltzers!
