Indiegogo staffers are placing crowdfunded merchandise to the take a look at in our sequence of sincere critiques. On this version, Zoe, a Senior Marketing campaign Strategist, tried out Litheli FrozenPack: The First Backpack Automotive Fridge. Did it meet her expectations? Learn on to seek out out extra.
Hello! It’s Zoe once more. This summer time’s warmth is off the charts—international warming actually appears to be kicking in, huh?
Bear in mind Litheli? They’re those who mixed an influence financial institution with a wagon final yr. You may try my earlier evaluate right here. I like this model not simply because they’re inventive, however as a result of their merchandise are all the time high-quality. Their objects are persistently sturdy, stable, and dependable.
This time, they’ve come again with a cooler that’s additionally a backpack, as soon as once more powered by their energy financial institution. As I discussed earlier than, Litheli wasn’t the primary to create an influence financial institution, and so they definitely didn’t invent the cooler. However they hold shocking us, don’t they?
Unboxing & Setup
I acquired my Litheli objects within the scorching summer time warmth. The backpack and the batteries arrived individually, and the backpack got here in a field with a pleasant wooden body. I believe Litheli needed to keep away from any harm to the product throughout delivery.
Here’s what it seems to be like for the entire set:
Options I Beloved:
Compact, Quiet, and Highly effective
It’s undoubtedly smaller than your common electrical cooler, making it simple to position on the automobile seat. Say howdy to your in-car fridge! On a summer time street journey, what might be higher than reaching into the backseat for an ice-cold Coke?
When it runs, it’s actually quiet. I’m not going to lie; the compressor sound doesn’t even startle my cats. You may hear a really mild buzzing in the event you sit proper subsequent to it, however you wouldn’t discover it from a number of inches away.
I plugged within the energy financial institution and began the cooling course of. At 15:25, I set it to max cooling when it was at 68°F, and by round 15:49, it had reached 0°F. The battery can run for as much as 6 hours, so bringing one battery on a day journey could be sufficient for me if I exploit the eco mode.
I put 6 cans of Weight-reduction plan Coke and eight bottles of 500ml water into the backpack, and it nonetheless had loads of room. I’m fairly satisfied I may match 10 bottles of 330ml cola and 9 bottles of 500ml beer as claimed.
Excessive-High quality
In my final evaluate, I didn’t emphasize this sufficient, however receiving two of Litheli’s merchandise makes me need to say it: their merchandise are actually prime quality. The backpack is roofed in nice cloth that’s waterproof and simple to wash.

With the backpack, you get two batteries, a again cushion, backpack straps, and even a number of aspect pockets. For the backpack straps, Litheli even prepares a field for it because it’s gentle! They know that is going to be with you on each hike and out of doors journey, so that they make sure that it’s top-notch. The eye to element on the backpack is one thing I like.
Intuitive
The backpack doesn’t include a handbook, and it doesn’t want one. You simply plug within the energy financial institution in one of many aspect pockets, hit the crimson button in entrance to begin, and use the plus and minus buttons to regulate the temperature. That’s it.
In one other pocket, there’s a plug for automobile charging. In case you run out of energy, you may cost it within the automobile.
Issues That May Be Improved:
Weight
If I needed to nitpick, general I like the product, nevertheless it’s actually heavy if you wish to carry it as a backpack. I weigh 125 lbs and will solely carry this on my again when it’s empty and for brief distances, like transferring from the automobile to our picnic spot.
The picture was taken when the backpack was empty and with none straps, cushions, or the ability financial institution.
My companion can handle it, but additionally just for brief distances. Even on a mountaineering journey with cans and bottles, a full pack would nonetheless be a burden for him. However once more, I weigh 125 lbs and battle with my higher physique energy. Plus, I’m not a hardcore hiker, so this might simply be a private challenge.
Conclusion
Litheli outdid themselves once more! I can consider many locations to make use of this: for hikes, street journeys, RV journeys, picnics, sporting occasions, and undoubtedly on the seashore. Say goodbye to cumbersome coolers or ones that want ice. For round $300, you may personal this wonderful product.
