If you've used a standard foam can sleeve for more than a season, you already know the two problems. It slips off. And after enough use, it never quite dries out the same way again.
HydroJug built its Can Cooler lineup to solve both. Stainless steel that keeps your drink cold longer than foam ever could. A screw-top locking lid that keeps the can exactly where you put it. And a design that fits your life – in the car, at the pool, at the tailgate, and everywhere in between.
The HydroJug Can Cooler is a stainless steel insulated can cooler available in three sizes: 12 oz Slim, 12 oz Standard, and 16 oz. All three feature a screw-top locking lid that secures the can in place and prevents spills, stainless steel construction for cold retention and a sweat-free exterior, and are dishwasher safe and reusable. All three also feature double-wall insulation for maximum cold retention. The Slim and 16 oz models include a rubber base and are cup-holder compatible. All three come in the same signature colorways and seasonal prints as the full HydroJug lineup.
Not all cans are built the same, and neither are our coolers. Pick the size that fits what you're drinking – the table below makes it simple.

The 12 oz Slim fits the same narrow cans as most skinny can coolers on the market. The 12 oz Standard covers your classic beer and soda can. The 16 oz fits tallboy cans that standard coolers won't accommodate.
The choice comes down to what you're drinking – and where you're drinking it.

Every size, every colorway – the same four features in every HydroJug Can Cooler.
Most can coolers are just sleeves – open at the top, easy to knock off, and useless the moment your can tips. The HydroJug screw-top lid threads down onto the base and locks the can in place. It doesn't slide off when you set it down, grab it from a cup holder, or move around. It stays locked until you're ready to take the can out.
Every HydroJug Can Cooler is built with double-wall stainless steel insulation. A vacuum gap between two steel walls prevents heat transfer in either direction – locking in cold longer and keeping the outside dry, sweat-free, and drip-free. It doesn't compress, absorb moisture, or develop the soggy, worn-out feel that foam can coolers get after a few seasons. Buy it once and it performs the same two years later as it does on day one.
Condensation on the outside of your can is annoying – and it makes the cooler slippery in your hand. HydroJug's stainless steel construction prevents it. The outside of your can cooler stays dry throughout the drink, so you get a clean, confident grip from the first sip to the last.
The 12 oz Slim and 16 oz Can Coolers are designed to fit standard vehicle cup holders – so your cold drink rides in the console without any adjustments. Both models also include a rubber base that adds grip on smooth surfaces and keeps the cooler from sliding on boat decks, countertops, and car consoles.
All three HydroJug Can Coolers are dishwasher safe. Toss them in after a long day – stainless steel doesn't hold odors, doesn't stain, and doesn't degrade the way foam and neoprene do. It's a reusable can cooler built for daily use, not one you're replacing every summer.
HydroJug Can Coolers come in the same signature colorways and seasonal prints as the rest of the HydroJug lineup – so your can cooler can match your tumbler, your bag, or your whole setup. Core colors are available year-round. Seasonal and limited prints rotate regularly, so grab them before they sell out. The HydroJug Slim and Standard Can Coolers are also available for customization through the HydroJug Customizer – a popular option for corporate orders, team events, and bulk gifting.
