Can I use dry ice in this cooler backpack?
While dry ice offers superior cooling, it is generally not recommended for use in sealed soft coolers like this backpack due to the risk of pressure buildup and potential damage to materials.

Does the backpack include ice packs?
The product description does not mention included ice packs; it relies on the user to supply their own ice or ice packs.
Troubleshooting
Backpack not keeping contents cold for the expected duration.
Ensure the backpack is fully packed with ice or ice packs. Minimize opening the zipper. Pre-chill the backpack and contents before packing. Check that the waterproof zipper is fully sealed.
Water seeping through the zipper.
Ensure the zipper is completely closed and the flap is correctly aligned. Inspect the zipper for any damage or debris. Apply a zipper lubricant to ensure a tight seal.
Straps feel uncomfortable or dig in.
Adjust the shoulder straps for a snug but not overly tight fit. Utilize the chest strap to distribute weight more evenly. Ensure the backpack is not overloaded beyond its intended capacity.
Exterior fabric shows staining.
Clean the affected area with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher stains, a gentle, non-abrasive cleaner may be used. Rinse thoroughly and air dry.
