Cotopaxi Hielo 18L Cooler Tote - Our FAQs

1. Will the bag leak if my ice melts?
   The internal liner is 100% waterproof and food-safe, designed to contain liquids. However, to maintain the best thermal performance and prevent excessive condensation, we recommend using reusable ice packs rather than loose ice.

2. Can I fit wine bottles in this tote?
   Yes, the 15-inch height allows for most standard wine and spirit bottles to be carried upright securely.

3. Is the shoulder strap adjustable?
   Yes, the removable strap can be adjusted to your preferred length, allowing you to carry the tote comfortably over your shoulder or across your body.
