World's first hybrid soft-hard-sided cooler made from 100% EVA foam ( the same stuff as CROCS shoes )  which makes it incredibly insulated, leakproof, flexible, lightweight, buoyant & durable. 

*Patent pending ( Utility & Design ) 

Like a cooler, unlike any other cooler...

Thermal Insulation

FOAM uses advanced closed-cell EVA foam insulation that keeps your contents chilled all day. The insulated body and lid keep stuff cold for 12 to 72 hours depending on outside conditions and use rate.  There's no better feeling than cracking open an ice-cold drink on a sweltering hot summer day.

Durable & Virtually Indestructible

Due to its cross-linked foam and rubber structure, FOAM has exceptionally high durability and superior impact absorption.  You'll never have to worry about broken zippers, handles, or lids with FOAM.   A cooler that will last through all the adventures you put it through without the weight or cost of those other heavy-duty ice chests.

In fact, you can run it over with your car and it bounces back to shape.  How's that for durability?

 

Portable & Lightweight

FOAM is the perfect size for any adventure. It's lightweight and easy to carry making it the perfect sidekick for a great day.  FOAM won't break your back or bank ;)

Versatile & Space Efficient

22 quart capacity which is big enough to fit plenty of drinks, ice, and food for your next trip to the beach, pool, or lake.  Did you say it holds 30 cans? Why, yes we did. Or if you prefer long-neck bottles, FOAM can hold 12 including ice!  How about wine? FOAM coolers hold that as well. Whatever suits your fancy, we've got you covered!   

Buoyant & Fun!

Not only does FOAM float, EVA foam is also 100% leakproof & silent.

Flexible, Yet Sturdy

It's not a hard-sided cooler. It’s not a soft-sided Cooler. It's a hybrid soft-hard cooler; a new category in the cooler market. FOAM is made from 100% closed-cell ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer. Sounds a bit high-tech because it is! That means that FOAM has the benefit of both hard-side and soft-side in one!  It's lightweight, durable, will grip any surface, & won't scratch your boat or car!

Seatbelt Strap Strength 

FOAM uses a super-durable seatbelt material carry strap that will have you wondering why you ever bothered lugging around coolers with plastic handles or cheap uncomfortable straps that dig into your shoulders. It also features a one-handed access clip to keep the lid securely closed without hard-to-pull zippers that break or need lubrication.

Four fun colors

Choose a color for your personality! Cyan Blue, Arctic White, Cool Grey, or Flamingo Pink.

 

 

 

FOAM is 22 quarts and holds 30 cans with ice, 16 long neck bottles with ice, 4 bottles of wine,  16lbs of ice only, or 1 beach ball ;) which is plenty of room for a day full of fun.

 

Picnics, Sporting Events, Boating, Tailgating, Roadtrips, The Pool, The Beach, & Camping are just some ideas of where you can use FOAM.   The best cooler is the one you actually will use!

FOAM is NOT styrofoam!  It's EVA foam.

EVA is the acronym for "ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer" 

 

You might know the material from Crocs clog shoes.  It's a combination of foam & rubber.  which makes for a lightweight & durable product.Closed cell EVA foam insulation keeps your contents chilled all day. The insulated body and lid keep stuff cold for 12 to 72 hours depending on outside conditions and use. There's no better feeling than cracking open an ice-cold drink on a sweltering hot summer day.

We find this to be the perfect day cooler; plenty of time for most activities.  Why carry around extra weight and volume for insulation you will rarely use? FOAM won't break your back or bank!

We have spent the last 6 years Designing, Engineering, and Prototyping. Take a look at some of our early concepts and prototypes!  We have tested, prototyped, and redesigned to create the perfect cooler that makes having fun easy!

We have been abuse-testing our preproduction prototypes for over a year!  We are 100% sure that you will love FOAM.

Who says heavy-duty has to be heavy?

 

We have invested in 4 tools so far and need your help funding the 6 more needed for full production!  According to Indiegogo’s verification, we’ve entered the mass production stage and are planning to start shipping in Feb. 2023. We will keep you updated about the shipping status in the update section.

We need your help!

FOAM is a small self-funded company with limited resources. We’ve poured our hearts ( and savings! ) over the last 6 years into creating this innovative first-of-its-kind product. 

In order to get the costs to a price we believe creates value for our customers, we need to have a large initial production run. We have already invested substantially in the design process and initial tooling as well as getting ready to bring FOAM to the market and need your help to get across the finish line.

Your support will allow us to purchase 6 more new tools and place our first large order with our manufacturers so that we can reduce production costs and get FOAM in the hands of people everywhere. 

 

 

Hey there, fellow fun seeker! Thanks for visiting our brand. We hope you enjoy what you see just as much as we enjoyed creating it. Actually, that’s what I want to tell you all about – why this brand was created and how it came to be.

I’m David, father to two girls and husband to my wife, Kristin.

We have food allergies so we bring a cooler everywhere. There are three things that bothered me about coolers.

1. Why are the best coolers so heavy, big, and expensive?

2. Why do coolers always break, rip or leak so easily?

3. Why is there not a dishwasher safe cooler?

There had to be another way…but, there wasn’t…at first. I've been designing and developing products for the last 15 years and have made products for some of the largest brands in the world including Coleman, Little Tikes, Eddie Bauer, and Adidas to name a few. You might even have a cooler I designed already in your garage!

So I knew I could do better..  

My mind was made up. I was going to create something myself that not only made our life easier; but also was something we loved to use. That's how FOAM was born.  

Some of the Brands that I have designed products for include:

Over 10 International Awards & Publications for our design work.

 

We understand the risks of development and production better than most!  I have over 15 years of product design and development experience as I'm the founder of a product design firm called Endeavor design. Bringing a product from an idea to reality takes tons of hard work and perseverance (and a great team). There will be challenges and unexpected hurdles along the way. There always are, and there already has been!

We've built in plenty of time to test everything every step of the way, and we will make sure that the end product we deliver to our backers is a great one. In the unlikely event that we encounter an obstacle that does delay our shipping timeline, we promise to communicate with you every step of the way.  Communication is the key to a successful relationship both professionally and personally. 

We will prioritize our backers first over profits.  That's our promise.

Return Policy / Money-Back Guarantee

Manufacturer’s Warranty

FOAM has a Lifetime Guarantee that protects against manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. Simply notify us if one of your products has a manufacturing defect, and it will be repaired or replaced for free.
