Can Quiver

Redefining Cool … Naturally ... Skip the ice, keep the cold, with the Can Quiver from the Didgeridoonas® Collection of ice-free coolers. Through the magic of pure Australian Wool, your Can Quiver will adopt the temperature of whatever you put in it and hold temp for hours. Keep Cold drinks Cold for up to 6 hours with no artificial help. Or, drop in a reusable freezer block to keep contents refrigerator cold all day.

Going ice-free means no wasted space, no extra weight, and no water to leak and run down your back. This light, rugged, unique can cooler weighs in at a mere 12 ounces; the same weight as just 1 of the cans it is designed to carry. There is no lighter way to carry a cold 6-pack.

Sheer Simplicity ... An active insulator, pure Australian Wool is one of the best insulators on the planet. Water-repellant, but vapor absorbent, the Wool insulation absorbs the temperature from the vapor coming off the contents, creating a thermal lock. As the temperature rises (or lowers), the Wool recycles the cold (or heat) it has stored back into the bag for extended life.

Man-made, largely petroleum-based insulators, simply create a passive temperature barrier. Unlike these man-made materials which lose their insulating capacity when wet, Wool maintains 100% of its thermal properties in all conditions.

Sheer Performance ... Wool fiber is extremely durable, making it particularly well suited for rugged, repeated use applications. Aussie Wool is more durable than synthetic and other natural fibers. When paired with ultra-tough Australian oilskin canvas, your Can Quiver has a life expectancy measured in decades, not mere months or years. You can wear it out, but you’ll have a great time doing so.

Sheer Sustainability ... The World has awakened to the importance of using renewable, sustainable resources for the long-term health of our Families and Planet. Australian Wool is organic, abundant, renewable, and sustainable. In addition to outperforming and outlasting man-made insulators, Wool is biodegradable and compostable, offering many environmental benefits to the ecosystem. We can simulate Nature, but we cannot replicate Nature. When it comes to finding the best insulator on the planet, there is nothing better than Mother Nature at her very best.

Sheer Brilliance ... The genesis of these amazing ice-free coolers can be traced back to the great Wool surplus of the mid-1990’s. Barbi & Leigh Hemming produced Wool blankets, outerwear, and other Life accessories on the Gold Coast of Australia. Concerned for their Farmer friends who produce Wool, Barbi & Leigh began searching for new uses. In a stroke of brilliance, they asked themselves: “We use wool to keep people warm, can we use wool to keep things cold?”

The Hemmings set out in hopes of creating a soft-sided cooler which would keep ice frozen longer than traditional ice-box coolers. Little did they know until the completion of their original Australian Cooler Bag that they had in fact created a cooler which does not require ice.

In 1995, the Didgeridoonas brand of Wool-insulated coolers was launched in Australia. In 2000, the Phillips Family of Cape Woolamai Mercantile were given a Woolly Wine Cooler as a gift. In 2005, we began importing these premium ice-free coolers to America.
