Perception Kayaks Splash Seat Back Cooler - for Kayaks with lawn-chair style seats

I have a Pelican Catch 100 with a lawn chair seat. It attaches easily and fits perfectly between the seat and the cargo area. The zipper is not crazy tight like a Yeti so you won't flip the kayak trying to unzip it. I pulled it out of the box, stuck it in my big freezer for about 30 minutes to cool it off, put 5 cans and about a dozen ice cubes in it, paddled around for 3 hours in the heat, got in and out of it a few times, but forgot to empty it when I got home. The next morning it still had ice cubes in it. I'm not a soft-side cooler kinda guy but I like this thing. It will hold 12 with ice.So back in April 2019 I bought this cooler on faith because NOBODY had reviewed it....like anywhere. It's now April 2020 and because of this virus about the only thing I can do is kayak so let me just say that I still love this thing! It hangs there turning dead space into usable space. I use it more for dry storage than a cooler to be honest. Yes, its a little overpriced and no, I don't know what all those loops are for but.....I still really like this thing.

Holds several bottles of water plus lunch and also doubles as my trash bin! Easy to remove and clean out. Easy to install for the next trip. Don’t let the bungees fool you, they are very strong and sturdy. Doesn’t droop or sag when you add ice. I was very impressed.

We have this to my husband for Father’s Day. He hasn’t used it yet but loved the idea of it. He is excited to try it out. It’s a great size for the kayak seat. It’s nice to have it out of the way. It seems very sturdy.

This cooler is awesome! It gives me space on my yak for those overnight yaking camping trips. The cooler keeps the ice cold and keeps the ice inside the cooler no leaking. After a weekend trip i still had ice and little water.The zipper is nice but it seems fragile as long as you don’t over pack the cooler i think the zipper will be fine. That’s why i took a star off the zipper is an important part of the cooler and if it fragile and easily broken the cooler become useless. I hoping this doesn’t happen to me as long as i am gentle with that zipper i should be fine.

My first to using this cooler was in a tournament that lasted 8 hours. I packed the cooler with 2 gel ice packs, 6 bottles of water, 2 sandwiches, and 2 frozen snickers. Got in the water at 5:00 am and set in for a day of fishing. Temps started off in the 70s and climbed to the upper 80s. It got hot. 10 hours later I grabbed a snickers and water out of the cooler. Water was still cold and the snickers was still frozen. Cooler was worth every penny.

I ordered this when it was about the only one on the market. Now, dozens of cheap imitations. Mine handles some tough conditions from cold river trout fishing to hot salt water fishing. Everything from the zipper, to the liner and the seams are doing great. I never have liked the bungee attachment system, but it gives necessary flexibility to fit a large variety of seats. Not enough to deduct from it’s over-all sturdiness.

I have a sit on top kayak and this fit perfectly behind my seat. Unfortunatly it was a bit tricky to get into because it is right behind the seat but once I figured out the best way it worked fine. Kept three frozen bottles pretty much frozen for the whole day in 100+ heat. I even forgot about it in my garage for several hours in that same heat and the bottles were still frozen.

I was a little disappointed in the fact that the ice (1:1) was melted after 12 hours. The seams that are sewn together at the bottom have zero insulation which seems like a missed way to get a little better performance. I think some of the options at half the price would offer the same performance. It also would have been nice it there was at least one small pouch included for some external way to stash something, the cheaper options offer a nice detachable option included as well.Some pros: The plastic rubber lining on the inside does do the job of keeping all water in that melted, and seems pretty think and durable for what it is. The form factor is also nice, good for a short afternoon out on the water without taking much space (my mistake was taking for an overnighter and having all my drinks warm by the late afternoon).If I had a do over I would have bought one of the cheaper options as I think it would be the same thing for less money while giving you a few extras like removable external pouches.
