The Grateful Dead x Igloo collection includes the Grateful Dead Dancing Bears Tie-Dye Cooler, which is a Dead-inspired take on the iconic Playmate portable cooler. The cooler features the band’s famous dancing bears motif alongside the famous lightning bolt and skull from the Dead’s 1976 double live album, Steal Your Face. Copies of the super rare album are available on Amazon or on eBay, but the cooler is in stock on IglooCoolers.com.

The tent-top cooler measures 14.5 x 10.51 x 13.61 inches and has enough room for up to 26 cans of soda or beer. Weighing less than four pounds, it’s light enough to take with you to your next park hang, beach day, camping getaway or tailgate. It’s a great cooler for outdoor music festivals too.

In addition to coolers, the Igloo Grateful Dead collection also includes a “Daytripper” backpack, that has an insulated cooler compartment to keep drinks and snacks chilled. A built-in bottle opener is a nice touch for drinks (this bag holds 18 cans and about a dozen bottles), and everything is designed with a leak-proof and waterproof material. The backpack-style design makes this a great everyday bag or travel bag too, with tons of room for your laptop, chargers, blanket, books and more.
