Carhartt has a 3-can beverage cooler, which is kind of cool, right? Cool. Get it? Sorry, I just had to.
Carhartt’s beverage cooler is made from heavy duty poly with Rain Defender durable water repellent, for rugged use. It has a shoulder strap, quality YKK zippers, and a larger logo.

The quiver-shaped cooler measures 15.5″ long x 3″ wide and 3″ deep. It weighs just 0.4 lbs empty.
Carhartt says that their insulated cooler can hold 3 standard sized cans and keep them cold for over 7 hours.
Alternatively, maybe it can hold a long and slender refillable water bottle? Or maybe something like a 1 or 1.5 liter water bottle, or 2 sports drink bottles.

A little more interesting, at least in my opinion, is Carhartt’s beverage holster, a neat holder for a single can or bottle. It features a padding pocket for your drink, and a belt loop on the back.
Product photos show that it can hold a typical soda can, a taller juice can, and a sports drink bottle.
It measures 3.5″ x 8.25″ x 2.75″ and weighs 0.18 lbs. The holster is padded, but won’t keep your drink as cool as a cooler.
You can attach it to your tool belt, but the holster should be right at home on the side of a tool bag too.
At a lot of jobsites, you’ll see stray drinks and bottles all over the place, and they’re usually forgotten about, lost, or moved. With a holster, it gives you a place for your drink to go so you’ll always know where it is, and you are (almost) guaranteed to take it with you when you leave.

That 3 can cooler would be a hot deal if it kept items warm as well!?

According to things like the laws of thermodynamics, it should keep the contents equally hot over ambient temp as it does things cool below it.
Question is even more abstract given the shape. If you had 3 cans, you would maximize volumetric effectiveness putting the cans in a tighter bunch with less external surface area and thicker insulation, while something heated, what that you heat is going to the shape of 3 x 12oz cans stacked end to end? A big, just smoked summer sausage? Okay then!
You can get foil lined hot coolers.

I can’t imagine how this 3-can cooler makes any kind of sense.
A six-pack cooler makes sense. You just drop the six-pack in and go. That’s enough beer (because lets be serious) for a few people. And the cooler is compact, and minimizes warming, because the cans aren’t all stretched out in a row.
3 cans, in this long, narrow unwieldy thing, that you have to load like a pistol magazine, one that’s too small? Is it supposed to fit in those narrow spaces in your trunk after you’ve packed it full of gear, and you want just a few extra cans of beer?
And it can’t work better than a cooler where the cans are arranged side to side,

Weird brand extension attempt? A cheap “gift” idea? Junior marketing/product development assistant “win”?
“3 in a row” never presented before (for good reason)?
Gino
It totally makes sense. You need to buy two to have your shoulders/back balanced (one on each side) and be able to fit a six pack.

long designs like this are great for golf, cause they fit in a golf bag. I have a 6 can version. I can’t imagine this being used on a worksite for the reasons you mention Koko.
Koko The Talking Ape
Ahhhh, golf bag! That makes sense. 😀 But in those situations, I would carry around a flask. Beer is bulky and heavy to carry around. Or I would just put a cooler in the cart (what, carry our own bags? We aren’t barbarians here.)

“Beer is bulky and heavy to carry around.” Especially after you’ve processed it; liquor’s got the advantage there.

I can’t image why it wouldn’t help keep things warm too. and it would probably hold 2 of those tervis tumblers with the seal lids. Or 2 of those AL vac bottles you see people use.

BTW.
I’ll once again consider Carhartt as a clothing option (like I now do with American Giant) when they actually again make their clothes in America.
And I still have a favorite Carhartt jacket that was.
The possible dream?

Sorry if this is a wet blanket kind of attitude but this just looks annoying Xmas junk to make a few pennies on the strong Carhartt brand. I wear a lot of Carhartt and to be fair it probably does sell enough to prove it’s self a good idea for them and it likely won’t stop me from buying other Carhartt stuff in the future but I still find it annoying and it does poison the brand a little bit for me.

If you like Carhartt, you will love Blaklader. Last ten times longer and way better design
Skye A Cohen
Oh I’m on the blaklader train my brother, I have several of their overalls among other things, there’s a whole world of that European gear out there, I also have a bjornklader workvest that’s awesome. Faceline is the website for a lot of that stuff

Black coolers…. really? Bundle it with a heatgun and let’s all have some coffee.

Like Stuart, I was more interested in the beverage holder. But it ocurrs to me you could make one really quickly from something like seatbelt webbing. Use pop rivets to hold it together. I don’t have a way to set snaps in fabric, so I guess I would use velcro to close the belt loop.

Beer is sold in four packs and is sixteen ounces per can. Everything else is swill.

So is this the end of “here, hold my beer…”?

Looks like something meant to just give away as a promo item and bear the logo in a big font size for advertising.
I for one would rather they had just used the material to make a utility belt to give out as a promo.
