Systems and methods for vertical storage bag transport coolers in accordance with embodiments of the invention are disclosed. In one embodiment, a carrier device for liquids, the carrier device includes a body compartment; a lid; a strap configured to receive at least one vessel having an attachment loop, the strap comprising a first end and a second end, where the first end of the strap attaches to a first end of the internal face of the lid; the strap inserts through the attachment loop of the at least one vessel resulting in the at least one vessel being oriented vertically; and wherein the lid encloses an at least one opening of the body compartment while the at least one vessel is encapsulated by an at least one internal wall of the body compartment and an internal face of the lid, and is oriented vertically.

An insulating device backpack may include an outer shell, a first sidewall defining a front portion of the insulating device backpack, and a second sidewall and a third sidewall defining side portions of the insulating device backpack, and a fourth sidewall defining a back portion of the insulating device backpack, an inner liner forming a storage compartment, an insulating layer positioned in between the outer shell and the inner liner, the insulating layer providing insulation for the storage compartment, and an opening configured to allow access to the storage compartment, and a closure adapted to seal the opening.

A collapsible backpack cooler includes a base, a collapsible portion, a back portion, and one or more straps configured for use by a user in securing the collapsible backpack cooler to their back. The collapsible backpack cooler is configured to allow the collapsible backpack cooler to transition between an expanded configuration, and a collapsed configuration having a reduced volume as compared to the expanded configuration.

An insulating device backpack may include an outer shell comprising a first sidewall defining a front portion of the insulating device backpack, a second sidewall and a third sidewall defining side portions of the insulating device backpack, and a fourth sidewall defining a back portion of the insulating device backpack, an inner liner forming a storage compartment, an insulating layer positioned in between the outer shell and the inner liner, a back panel support structure coupled to a reinforcement patch and the fourth sidewall of the outer shell, a pair of shoulder straps coupled to the back panel, an opening configured to allow access to the storage compartment, and a closure adapted to seal the opening.

A system for holding multiple beverage containers may include a cooler or carrier with toting handles, closing tabs, and base. The base may be formed from a molded plastic, rubber or synthetic rubber material. The base may also include feet that hold the base a sufficient height from the ground. The base may have a generally conic tapering drain floor that makes up its top surface. The tapering drain floor may make draining the carrier easier by directing water toward a drain hole located in the base. Extending up from the base may be a multi-layer soft-sided wall where different layers perform different desired functions. For example, an inside layer closest to the internal cavity may be a waterproof layer, a middle layer may be an insulating layer, and an external layer may be a decorative layer.

An insulating device can include an aperture having a waterproof closure which allows access to the chamber within the insulating device. The closure can help prevent any fluid leakage into and out of the insulating device if the insulating device is overturned or in any configuration other than upright. The closure may also prevent any fluid from permeating into the chamber if the insulating device is exposed to precipitation, other fluid, or submersed under water. The insulating device may include a back panel support structure and shoulder straps allowing the device to be worn as a backpack. This construction results in an insulating chamber that is substantially impervious to water and other liquids when the closure is sealed.
