Abstract: An improved inflatable cooler including one or more sidewalls formed from a flexible plastic membrane having inflatable air chambers formed therein. In addition, the inflatable cooler preferably includes an inflatable lid (formed from a flexible plastic membrane having inflatable air chambers therein) and bottom wall that are integral to one or more of the sidewalls, thereby forming a one-piece construction. Such one-piece construction prevents loss of the lid and bottom wall. The air chambers of the sidewall(s) and lid act as a thermal insulating barrier for the contents of the inflatable cooler (e.g., ice or ice packs or other cooling mechanism along with food and/or drink). In addition, the inflatable cooler includes a flexible plastic membrane that is removably disposed onto the exterior surface of one or more of the sidewalls.
