Dam coolers is an outdoor company with a fun attitude and innovative approach to creating.
Our flagship product is our Hard Cooler which uses Vacuum Insulated Technology to keep its contents much colder for longer periods of time, while being lightweight and lower profiled to give a lean look. We like to describe it as Efficient, Versatile and Practical.
Or as we say at DAM Coolers; Light.Tight.Right.
This same ethos is embodied by all our other products. Our extremely useful Soft Coolers and our 2-in-1 Backpack cooler shout out those three words in every aspect of their design.

Focusing on performance and real value we made our hard coolers injection molded and not roto-molded - This lends itself to the efficiency in the design and manufacturing process which you will see that our pricing reflects.

Using advanced Vacuum Insulated Panel technology we get a lot of performance while maintaining plenty of volume in a small package, the kind of oomph and space you will not see in more expensive coolers.
50% thinner walls or more, and up to 25% more volume!

Since the early days of the first portable coolers, there have been all sorts of insulation material used to help them slow down temperature change. Sand, Foam, Down, Gas and Polyurethane (Roto-molded coolers) are a few.
Some are better than others, but they all have their downsides. From hygiene to environmental impacts to weight, bulkiness and cost.
Our patented patent pending design uses Vacuum Insulated Panels. It is a form of thermal insulation whereby a gas-tight enclosure surrounding an insulation material has all the atmosphere within it evacuated.

Vacuum insulation technology significantly reduces molecular movement of the air between gaps, reducing heat transfer by conduction (via contact), convection (via diffusion) or radiation (UV light and other wave forms).
Because of this they have about one-fifth the thermal conductivity of the best conventional insulation and thereby 5 times the thermal resistance per unit of thickness.
With Ice Retention being the number one driver in the high-performance cooler market, it was a great opportunity to develop a cooler that met and outperformed the competition.
The idea of DAM Coolers was born!

The cooler is also designed to be simple to use. Unique to DAM Coolers is the upside down D-Latch system, made to be ergonomic and easy on the wrists.
Each time you bend down to grab a drink you will be greeted by a smooth, unique looking, easy to handle grip that you pull up towards you with 2 fingers supporting the lid with your thumb and then out, to reveal your treasure inside.

We set our cooler against the latest and the greatest for a 'head to head' ice retention test several times and it always performed extremely well.
Here is our latest result.
![]()
In a “Full to the Brim” ice test in temperatures between 80 and 115 degrees, with an average of about 87 degrees, the DAM 25 was able to hold solid ice for over 6 days.
This simple test monitored how well each cooler maintained cold temperatures and how quickly each reached equilibrium.
Now most of you won't be out in the wild with a cooler with no access to replacement ice but if you were, be rest assured that the DAM25 is your No. 1 choice for a compact, well organized cooler to take to the outdoors.

DAM Coolers was started in 2016 as an idea between a couple of crazy students who just wanted to get the best grade in a school project.
Once we got the idea, we knew that we had stumbled upon something BIG, such that before finishing we were already making real business plans.
We gave it all we had, we even started gluing together stuff and 3D printing parts ourselves in our garage until we made our first prototype.

Our first DAM Cooler performed so well that there was no turning back from that point on. We also got "The Most Likely to Start a Business" award, and did just that!
We started DAM Coolers, LLC and here we are today.

The design and engineering for our first two hard coolers are completed. This covers the 25 and 35 Quart Coolers. The 25 Quart cooler is farther along in the process however with the Mold Construction Fully completed today. We need only take delivery of our Molds and Tools at our factory and start full production. As a matter of fact we have received pre-production samples of the cooler from the Mold manufacturer only to have it undergo some Aesthetic and Quality updates. Today they are all completed, all 13 of them. Yes, 13. Because of our unique design every piece of our Hard Cooler was designed from ground up to assure performance and quality. This took time, but it greatly reduces our risk in the future.
Speaking of risks, as with all crowdfunding projects there many involved. Project Design, Engineering Completion, Partner search and vetting, Manufacturing and Supply chain issues, you name it. All of these can make you a little nervous especially when you are making an advance payment. I personally order a lot from crowdfunding sites like indiegogo and kickstarter so I know what its like to wait 3 months for a new bike helmet or 8 months for a wrist watch to get to me. This is why I took a lot of the risk out of the whole experience for you. With the Molds hot and ready to make your coolers, the biggest risks I predict are the year "2020" and its shenanigans. Yes, you know what I mean. I won't even go there.
So we started out with our DAM Coolers Hard V.I.P Coolers almost 5 years ago, and we spent most of the year promoting them for a Summer 2020 launch and delivery. Today we have in addition to the Hard Cooler, our SOFTCOOL Series of Soft Coolers and our 2-in-1 Backpack Cooler. These are not secondary products, they are our 'next thing' at DAM Coolers, but today we have them ready for you to pre-order also.
Another set of products with all the risk taken out of them for you. Design and Development is 100% done, and our factories are waiting to produce them for you.
With everything noted, the risks are still there. Supply chain issues may persist with our suppliers and their global partners, but be assured that plans have been made in advance to ensure that they are as ready as feasible.
Other risks include fulfillment. This includes everything from 'after our products have been manufactured, packaged and put at the factory door on the way to you'. We 'may' face similar issues that are faced today with existing supply lines. As FedEX, UPS, DHL and the rest are facing a near crisis mode with late and epileptic deliveries, so are the shipping lines.
We have partnered with reputable fulfillment partners that will not only try to get your goods to you as fast as possible, they will also ensure that your goods are safe and secure, with their strategic stations all over the USA and the world.
So, despite all the 2020 Covid-19 pandemic delays we have been able to push forward to get the the stage that we are now, even with multiple products on offer.
Unlike other campaigns that want you to pay in advance for research and production we have taken risks and gone ahead with as much as we can. We did this because we believe our company and products and we don't want you to wait too long before you have your DAM Coolers.
As mentioned earlier the our factories are primed and ready.
I am a Systems and Industrial Engineer and I personally have 12 years of manufacturing experience from; Food processing, Food and Beverage manufacturing, Milling, Plastics, Aerospace, Automobile and Energy manufacturing operations, and I have worked in, lived in and visited places in China, India, UK, Nigeria, Colombia, and of course the good old USA, so I know most of all the issues that may arise and where to find a solution if I do not have it myself.
We are Committed to the success of this project in its entirety and we have put extraordinary planning in place. If things do not go as planned, we pledge to you that we will communicate timely and transparently.
