Why Did I Build This?
While guiding fly fishing trips in Wyoming and Alaska, I needed a cooler that was lightweight and flexible enough to fit in my pack for a full day of hiking upriver.
Fast forward a few years in San Francisco, and I faced a similar challenge. Whether biking or Ubering to the beach, traditional coolers were just too bulky to be practical on-the-go.
After hundreds of prototypes, I’m now a dad in Charleston, SC, juggling baby gear and two golden retrievers, always needing the most hassle-free gear I can get.
Our flagship coolers fold down small enough to fit in your back, purse, or carry-on without sacrificing functionality. We’re building a lifestyle brand for cities, marshes, mountains, and everything in between.
Building this brand has been an incredible journey, and I’d love for you to join us.

Lighter by Design
Don't Settle.
If you're not carrying Monti, you're settling for…
Styrofoam throwaways that crack, leak, and end up in the landfill after one trip.
Overpriced coolers that weigh more than what you put inside them
Heavy, bulky coolers that bruises your shin and hog your closet or trunk space
Awkward hard-shells that never fit in your car, your closet, or your life.
Cheap imports that soak your gear, and quit before the day’s half over.
Coolers you leave at home because they’re more hassle than help.
"The Monti Guarantee" Not sure? If you don't love the cooler when it arrives, exchange or return it in the first 30 days. Simple as that!
