I had read a lot about how well the yeti backflip 24 fit next to the port side chair. The only thing I was hesitant about was the zipper. Yeti came out with a new backpack cooler, the m20 with a mag strip instead of the zipper. Dimensions were pretty close to the backflip so I bought one to put there. Fits beautifully. The bungees actually worked well in the picture but I’m gonna find a little better way to strap it in. This was just a trial to see how the fitment was. 9D2B5C17-BC77-4424-A769-B0F051757439.jpeg
 
We use a white claw (all they are good for) to prop the magnet open when drying the cooler out. Those magnet openings work so well, the cooler can't dry properly without being propped open. WAY better than the two-handed zipper for convenience reasons.
 
That’s what drew me to the new magnet one. Really easy to open with no zipper hassle and these new ones will actually stay open by themselves!
 
We use the same cooler, toss ours behind the pilots chair and haven't any issues. We got the yeti spreader for top, and the yeti ice blocks work great.

White Claw? Any pics?
