The loops found on the exterior of a Yeti backpack cooler, such as the Hopper M20, are part of the HitchPoint™ Grid system. This modular daisy-chain webbing is designed to allow users to customize their cooler by attaching various accessories and gear using carabiners or specialized Yeti add-ons. You can securely fasten items like the Yeti SideKick Dry® gear bag for protecting your phone and keys, or the Yeti Molle Zinger bottle opener. Many outdoor enthusiasts also use these loops to clip on reusable water bottles, solar chargers, or even trekking poles during a hike. The grid is reinforced to handle significant weight, ensuring that your extra gear doesn't flop around while you are moving. In 2026, this system remains a favorite for campers and beachgoers who need to maximize their carrying capacity while keeping their hands free, effectively turning a simple cooler into a versatile, all-in-one utility pack for rugged adventures.
