xMeet the Frost Buddy NCAA Universal Buddy, a stainless steel can cooler built for flexibility and everyday reliability. This single cooler adapts to multiple beverage formats, hugging 12-ounce regular cans, slim cans, and 16-ounce cans or bottles in one compact, sport-ready sleeve. The Iowa State Hawkeyes branding adds a touch of team spirit to your outings, whether you’re tailgating or simply enjoying a quiet moment on a sunny day. The result is a clean, durable cooler that blends practicality with a modern, athletic look you can take anywhere.
Temperature performance is a core focus. The internal design teams up with a patented lid to keep drinks colder longer, offering up to 20x colder temperature retention for a full 24 hours in optimal conditions. The design also makes it easy to switch beverages without swapping coolers, so you can move from a cold soda to a chilled beer with minimal effort. This isn’t about hype; it’s about a consistent chance to enjoy your beverage at the temperature you expect—even when the day gets busy.
Everyday use is where the Frost Buddy shines. The cooler is lightweight and durable, with a sleek stainless steel exterior that stays comfortable to hold and easy to wipe clean. Its low-profile form fits in car cup holders, picnic baskets, and crowded stadium seats, all while keeping a stylish edge that complements your casual or team-inspired look.
