I'm flying and need a 24 pack cooler when I get there, how thin will it compress when empty?

I actually sent mine back because it was just too big. I think it would compress down pretty thin though. It's not too rigid!

not very thin. Its a great cooler for keeping things cold but the thick insulation does not compress. Ends up about 4 x 15 x 22.

Its been a while , since I returned the product it was too large for me, but if I recall somewhere between 1 to 2 inches when flat.

It is well insulated and will not compress too well. We used as a piece of luggage.

It hardly compresses at all once used. When you first get it, it will be tightly compressed, but the instructions tell you to fill it with water to help it plump up in the interior. The way it works is that the interior lining bulges inward, which I guess helps to create the insulating properties. Once that bulge is created, the cooler pretty much stays in its rectangular shape from then on. Hope that helps.

Rather than trying to compress it and wasting space, it makes a great carry on bag.

should be fine...its very thin and can fit into almost any confined space...remember it's filled with H20

About the size of a six pack---this float cooler does not seal--ice melts almost immediately--we use it as a dry storage which is perfect for on a river rafting /tubing expedition.

The cooler is made from Styrofoam and the lid does not have any type of seal other than the lip so I don't think it is "Air Tight". It is still a good container. I sent this container with two of cool packs from Seattle to North Platte next day FedEx and the contents were still frozen.

I haven't really crammed this thin with cans, but I did a little test for you, Alex, and it looks like you can get at least sixteen cans in with room for a good amount of ice. I don't really buy bottles, so I can't help you there. I've been buying coolers since my undergrad days back in the eighties. In my opinion, this is the best small-to-mid-sized cooler I have seen.

I use mine as a HLT, its very tight. My square cooler MLT just has a lid and it works fine. I'm getting about 75% efficiency. Although I do use a blanket. I would think the push lid version would be fine, I know others have used it as a MLT, and I never heard any complaints.

very compack and light weight , 4 by 6 inches 2to 3 inch thick depending on how you compress it and or fold

The cooler has a hard plastic liner. If the cooler tips, then likely yes it would leak a bit

oh so sorry.. but I remove it from the box, unfolded and blew it up so quick that I'm afraid I won't be of much help...I do remember coming out of the box, it was folded very tightly and it does work great, of course, depending on what else you have going in your carryon it could take up more room that you can allocate for it...I wish I could have given you more of the answer you were looking for.

It's very light weight. Just be sure to wrap it in a tshirt or another clothing item to keep from bending it. Be sure it is completely cooled before packing it as well.

I strap a small cooler on it which is approx. 12 lbs fully loaded. Not sure what the official capacity rating is.

I measured in the bag 24" long and 8" diameter (assuming its a cylinder). It's too heavy for a single pack, but if you're sharing the load with a couple of others, I guess it wouldn't be too bad.

It is completely compressible. Only limitation it has is how full you fill it 'cause that would determine if you could zip it !!!

I have a Coleman Xtreme 50-Quart Wheeled Cooler and it fits with ample extra space. This float is huge when blown up, I could actually float in it if I wanted to.

It will compress a little, because it has a soft liner. However, I'm not sure I would try to compact it to much so you don't compromise the integrity of the liner.

It deflates very flat; I easily slip it into my slim laptop bag. Fully deflated, it is no thicker than a couple manila folders. You can also fold it and roll it up. That's how it arrives. Rolled up it is about the size of a beer can, maybe 5.5 or 6 in long by 3in diameter

I think SJ answered the intended question - is this cooler strong enough to carry the load when completely filled, or does it need to be supported from beneath. It does sound like it might need support from the bottom for any extended carry when full.
