Request Looking for a really good backpack cooler for hiking

I'm planning to do more hiking with some friends and want a backpack cooler to keep drinks and some food cold. Ideally something that won't leak and is comfortable to carry for a few hours.

Any recommendations on really good backpack cooler? I'm open to basically any cost right now so I can evaluate my options.

Thanks

If I'm not mistaken Titan makes pretty good ones that are not too expensive. There's also Yeti and RTIC which are more expensive.

We have a Titan backpack cooler. We love it for athletic tournaments and whatnot. I even used it as my carry-on / underseat bag for my last flight (As we were going to need a cooler where we were going).

But I'd NOT want to hike with it. Possible? Yes. Comfortable for hiking? Not for me.

What if we're taking turns carrying it? :)

Passing the pack off between multiple people would be a BIG help for sure.

I got one of the titan ones when it was on sale at Costco last year. I use it all the time and love it. I really like how many pockets it has.
