Origin Story
Have you ever tried using your backpack cooler as luggage…Same, and we always returned home with wet and stinky clothes. Here’s how JustinCASE came to be.
FAQs
What is the inspiration behind JustinCASE
JustinCASE was developed to address a common travel challenge—keeping clothes dry while in transit and then having a high performance cooler at the destination and all in one device. Our founder initially relied on a popular backpack cooler, using it to store clothes for the journey and as a cooler at the destination. However, upon returning from those travels, the clothes and other personal items were often damp and warm, leading to an unsatisfactory travel experience. Years of enduring this inconvenience inspired the creation of JustinCASE. Designed to keep your drinks chilled and your clothes dry, JustinCASE ensures you return from your travels with cherished memories, not damp clothing. Now, you can embark on your journeys with the confidence that your belongings will stay just as you packed them—dry and ready for your next adventure.
How versatile is the JustinCASE
The JustinCASE backpack is designed with dual functionality, serving as both high-quality luggage and a cooler. During transit, it keeps your belongings dry and organized, functioning as reliable luggage. Upon arrival at your destination, it easily converts into a high-performance cooler, ready to keep your drinks and snacks chilled. This versatility not only reduces the need for additional bags but also offers an eco-friendly alternative to disposable coolers. Use cases have also revealed that customers are using the cooler and dry storage simultaneously which is possible due to the internal patented liner. JustinCASE is crafted for travelers who value convenience, efficiency, and sustainability.
Can I use JustinCASE on a plane?
JustinCASE was designed to be the ultimate travel companion, offering the perfect blend of functionality and convenience. Compact enough to fit comfortably in an overhead compartment, yet spacious enough to hold up to 30- 12oz cans and a bag of ice, it serves as both reliable luggage and a high-performance cooler. Whether you're heading on a weekend getaway or a longer journey, JustinCASE ensures that your belongings stay organized and your drinks stay chilled, making your travel experience a smooth ride.
Talk about durability for JustinCASE.
The JustinCASE is designed to be light (weighing in at just over 3 lbs. compared to a common and well-known backpack cooler weighing in almost double the weight at just under 6 lbs.), durable, and versatile, making it an ideal travel companion. It’s built to withstand the demands of your adventures, keeping your belongings well-organized and easily accessible. Whether you're on a weekend getaway or an outdoor excursion, the JustinCASE ensures your items stay protected and ready for use.
How easy is it to load and retrieve items from the JustinCASE cooler compartment?
The JustinCASE is designed with user convenience in mind. Loading and retrieving items is effortless, thanks to our innovative design and use of Fidlock buckles, allowing for easy one-handed access. You won’t have to struggle with zippers or awkward angles—everything is built to ensure smooth and quick access to your chilled items. Whether you’re on the water or on the go, JustinCASE makes it simple to enjoy your refreshments without any hassle.
How is JustinCASE a hands-free travel solution
The JustinCASE is a backpack designed to make your travels more convenient and organized. Equipped with accessories that securely hold towels, beach chairs, personal items, and other necessities, it frees up your hands for more important tasks, such as managing your family's needs. JustinCASE is designed to do more with less freeing you to explore and enjoy!

from 27 reviewsThough I am the founder and creator of JustinCASE, I am also a customer. My JustinCASE goes everywhere. Last September I took it to Spain as my wife and I were bouncing from town to town. We ended our adventure in Barcelona, where as it turned out the America’s Cup was taking place. So, we filled up the JustinCASE with cerveza’s and hit the beach for an afternoon of sailboat racing. Now…this is why it’s called JustinCASE…just in case you need a cooler at your destination. Cheers! John Closs

JustinCase is a well thought out and designed product that meets all your needs. The backpack, dry storage, and cooler capacity are amazing and helpful when you’re out and about on an adventure or just heading to your kids soccer game. This cooler is one and done! It’s got it all!!!

Have used my JC bag several times now out on the boat and it's really been nice to have. Fits under the passenger console(when I don't have a mess like in the pics lol) while running and keeps my drinks and snacks nice and cold! And I can keep a clean shirt and towel in the other compartment. Glad I saw y'all at the Charlotte boat show!! :-)

We have used this on several road trips with great success. It keeps the hotel ice and items cold overnight in the room, with icy water left in the morning. We have multiple gym events, and this cooler works as both a table and an ottoman. I look forward to the option of a folding shelf for the interior compartment!

This cooler is fantastic. Quality and design are great. Purchased at the Charlotte boat show a couple of weeks ago and have used it several times already. The ability to have a cooler with actual storage of other items all in a backpack style.

MY husband is 6'5" and most bags look ridiculous on him. He is obsessed with this bag. It goes EVERYWHERE with him! We had to part ways for kids baseball tournaments and I basically had to fight him for it. Needless to say, he won.
It is amazing for a day at the beach, on the boat or for a full day of games at the baseball fields. And I love that my husband volunteers to carry it :). I can't say enough good things.

We received our cooler as a Christmas present and immediately brought it on a New Years trip to the beach.
Great product & perfectly sized!!! Small enough to use as a carry on for the flight but big enough for full days at the beach for a group of 6 thirsty travelers!.
Highly recommend!!!!

I’ve tossed the JC into the back of my truck, dragged it over sand, and even used it as an impromptu seat—and it’s still going strong. Rugged where it counts, yet refined enough to bring to a classy tailgate during football season.
If you’ve ever been let down by a bag or cooler that couldn’t keep up, you owe it to yourself to check out the JustinCase. Shoutout to John and the crew at JC Bags for designing a bag and cooler hybrid that gets it.
Seriously, if you’re tired of bags and coolers that don’t keep things cold or make you look like you’re stuck in the past, do yourself a favor and grab a JC.

Terrific bag and great idea! Best bag I can imagine for any kind of outdoor event! Keeps my drinks cold and change of clothes dry. It has a place for everything! Very high quality and durable material and well-crafted. This bag is just as good of a cooler as a yeti but, with so many more uses. There is no end to its versatility. Well worth the money!

The JC is my go to for travel, sports, and everyday adventures. Having a backpack for my clothes and a leak proof cooler in one is perfect. And so far, I've never seen anything like this.
I use it on the lake, trips to the beach, and when hanging out with friends & family...it’s durable, comfortable and performs perfectly. The lifetime warranty made my decision a no brainer, and gave me peace of mind for the $299 price.
If you want a high performance and versatile bag that adapts to your lifestyle, this is it. Highly recommend!

We have always had the other brands and were our favorites prior to buying the JC. We still use those, but we take our JC everywhere we go. We bought it at a NoFo event. It has been to FL and back with us 8 times. Took it to NC skiing. We’ve taken boating many times. Local events and get asked where we got it from. Each trip has been 6-8 hours and everything is still frozen or as cold as it left. We’ve thrown ice packs in and then picked up drinks along the way for our arrival and they were still cold from the cooler we bought from. This is by far our favorite carry along for everything we want to keep cold. Lite and easy to carry!! It’s our go to cooler!

We love our JustinCase bag! We have multiple kids in multiple sports, we constantly are on the go. This bag is perfect for me to bring to work and have ready for all of our sports activities and practices after school.
I get so many compliments on how many functions the bag actually has. JustinCase has endless uses! We can easy pack extra clothes for after long practices and tons of snacks and drinks of course! It’s easy to carry around on the ball field and the perfect size to keep next to you while you’re enjoying the game. It also makes boat rides easy instead of tossing an oversized cooler in and we can’t wait to use it on our canoe trips and so much more! We are so happy with our JustinCase bag. Not only is it a well made quality product, it has a great family behind the scenes who truly cares about their consumers.

I ordered this bag while traveling for work on a Monday afternoon. It was already at my house when I arrived Wednesday evening! As a parent to an infant, we've trusted this bag to keep our baby's precious milk frozen for long road trips in the back of the truck with the sun beating down on it - it's delivered every time. We love the versatile ability of the bag to act as dry storage to and from our destinations and easily use it as a cooler as well. We travel with a lot of bags as a parent of 2 small kids (IYKYK), so this cuts down on what we need. Thanks JustinCASE!

I first got this cooler envisioning a court side bag that would hold everything I need to play, including beverages me and my teammates. This bag does just that. For sand volleyball, I keep my towel, hoodie, hat, brush, bug spray, car keys, chapstick, wallet, sunglasses, cell phone in the various compartments. For pickleball, sub out the middle compartment contents to hold my paddle and ball. Most importantly, it fits plenty of beers for all my teammates and keeps them cold with no leaking. Cheers!

First off, I feel like I have only touched the surface of what this bag will do. I’m on a run of 6 of 7 weekends out of town for soccer with my kids and this makes my life simple. Pack the clothes for the trip, load the drinks up when you are there. And sometimes both at the same time! Aside from the utility of the bag, it is very light compared to some other backpack coolers I have used as well as well made from the zippers, to the easy to use latch and the handy side pocket used for cords / phone accessories. Looking forward to using this on my upcoming beach and holiday trips
