Does anyone have any experience with any small coolers for the saddlebag? I'm just looking for something good for regular day trips, and the occasional overnighter. I have the locking rigid saddlebags that Harley sells on my Dyna Superglide Custom. Any advice would be appreciated!

 

Can't say about a cooler for your bags but my bags are always full of raingear, jackets, tools or other seemingly essential gear.
I have a collapsible cooler by Coleman that I fill at the end of the day with some beer, ice, and what other groceries I need for the evening and morning then fold it up and strap it on wherever it will fit.

 

I use a vinyl insulated bag intended for use in a golf bag. It fits in the saddlebag easily and is big enough for 4 12 oz cans. I use a small flat flexible "freeze pack" (for icing injuries) in the bag and I can keep 4 12 oz beverages cold all day. Might be smaller than what you want but it works well for drinks.

 

We bought the HD cooler as it fits perfectly. Tried using a AO soft sided cooler but it didn't give much storage capacity once placed in the saddle bag because it had to be shoved in and didn't conform to the bags shape. A lot of dead space.

 

Soft sided cooler here.
When full it will hold a 12 pack and ice.
It carries bottled water on long runs.

It's flexible so easy to bungee to the bike.

 

Search on Polar Bear Coolers. One of the best soft sided coolers I've used. I use their 24-pack. But that size will not fit in a saddlebag.
If you order a cooler from the Polar Bear website, they are offering an end of year special if you use coupon code: 2112
You will get 2 coolers for the price of one.

I bought a saddle bag cooler made by American Outdoors at an estate sale for $15.00, looks like:

About $50 new. I like it a lot, says it will hold 15 cans. I usually stuff several bottles of water and juice with ice packs, keeps them ice cold all day in hot weather. I takes up the whole bag so no room for anything else.

 

Save some space in your coolers. I freeze a couple bottles of water and use them instead of ice packs/ freeze packs. Back years ago. A friend had holes drilled in the bottom and he was the designated beer carrier. We all packed his stuff and he would haul the ice and beer.

 

Didn't know AO made bag coolers. We have one for use on our boats, but it's of the regular style. Have yet to use another brand that works as well.

 

I have this one. Works great. Use it when I'm on the bike and other times as well. Holds 15 cans and ice stays for a long time.
