Default how do you keep your cans from bursting

i have a very hi tech question, how do you keep your beverage cans (coke,pepsi,beer) from draining out while riding on the trails. I find I always lose 2 or so fron the rubbing together on their edges even if they are still in there plastic holder or in a cooler with ice.

what do you use????

Try getting a cooler designed specifically for a 6-pack and get a gel ice block that is made for 6 cans. A big rubber band around the cans will keep them from banging around so much.

Another thought hit me. Get a few of those foam can coolers that you put your can in when you take it out of the cooler. They would pad the can enough. Try: Cabelas can cooler They are even on sale for $1.99!

There are several ways to avoid alcohol abuse! BJ's Wholesale club sells foam (like wetsuit) six pack holders I think two for $5.99. I also use the cargo bags attached to my Polaris box and pack em tight and replace the cans as we drink them to keep the others in line. Also, Heineken comes in little "keg" cans that are way more durable than most ...

I dont think I like they way the title of this thread sounds. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]


use mooses suggestion but dont use that of an expensive one. grocery stores or wal mart has thin foam ones for about 25 cents a peice and they fold up flat. They would take up less room in a cooler

Dont get me wrong moose - those are great coolers - I have a few of those exact ones and they really keep you drinks cold. In Fact I bet they work so good, if you had a bunch, you could just throw all your drinks in those in the front storage without a cooler and they would stay cold.

We wrap our drinks(Cans+bottles) in a long beach towel!!!!!
Then Put Ice packs in with the wrap towel also!!
The front storage on the newer Sportsman are great.........Did anybody use the whole front storage for a cooler yet!!!!!.........There is a plug in there that you can drain when the ice melts!!!!!

I have seen a guy with a bunch of the foam can coolers glued to the bottom of a cooler, that seemed to be the best set up I have seen.
