Charleston (October 24, 2023) – Monti Coolers, a newly-launched outdoor accessories brand based in Charleston, is excited to announce the debut of its new line of packable, portable coolers. Designed for the modern adventurer, Monti Coolers offer a sleek, lightweight, and easy-to-use solution for keeping your beverages and snacks refreshingly chilled while on the go.

Monti Coolers currently come in two sizes and three colorways – all of which are lightweight, waterproof, and convenient. Monti Coolers are both highly collapsible and readily adaptable: put the contents in and you can roll, scrunch, and squeeze the rest of it into whatever space you have left in your pack – quite unlike firmer, soft-sided coolers. When not in use, each cooler packs down to a fraction of its full size inside an integrated stuff sack, small enough to fit into a backpack pocket, tote bag or tackle box.

“We are incredibly excited to introduce Monti Coolers to the market on a large scale,” said Sam McChesney, founder of Monti Coolers. “Our goal was to create portable coolers that offer convenience, durability, and style. Whether you’re going on a skiing trip, hosting a tailgate, or simply enjoying a day outside with friends and family, Monti Coolers will be there to keep your drinks cold. We believe our customers will love the functionality and versatility provided by our coolers and future products.”  

Monti Coolers soft launched as a proof of concept in 2019 to validate a personal need the founder had while working as fly-fishing guide in Wyoming and Alaska. He found that no cooler on the market met the needs of outdoor guides hiking deep into the backcountry with other gear, so he began prototyping to make a lightweight, leak-proof cooler that he could personally carry while guiding and hiking, pack away when traveling, and simply have on hand for local outings. Following a successful soft-launch earlier this year and further validating the market’s need for something completely new in the cooler space, McChesney perfected the product’s design to launch to the public this fall. 

Monti Coolers’ launch focuses on its two core products — the Shasta and the MayFly. The Shasta and the MayFly Coolers have the same technical specifications and are made of the same materials, except that the Shasta holds a 23L capacity and the MayFly’s is 14L.
