Beach, Please—This Cooler’s Got You Covered
- By: Julianne Elise Beffa
Chill Vibes Only…
As the days grow longer and the sun shines brighter over the City of Angels, Los Angeles locals know it’s officially time for beach season. From Venice to Malibu, the golden coastline becomes a hub for weekenders, surf-lovers, and beach party aficionados alike. But no matter where you lay your towel, one thing’s for sure: you’ll need a cooler that’s not just practical, but also stylish, lightweight, and eco-conscious. Enter Out of the Woods—the ultimate cooler brand redefining sustainable chill for summer 2025.
Cool, Conscious, and Ready for the Sand
There’s something about LA summers that demands more than just the average gear. Angeleno’s want beach accessories to reflect our vibe: laid-back, smart, and just a little bit luxe. That’s why Out of the Woods is the go-to this season. Their line of coolers isn’t just refined and functional—it’s thoughtfully made with the planet in mind.
Crafted from washable paper (yes, really), these coolers are durable, water-resistant, and surprisingly sleek. Think of it as performance meets design meets sustainability. The paper is ethically sourced from responsibly managed forests, meaning every cooler you carry is backed by the power of renewable resources and a smaller carbon footprint. Whether you’re packing crisp rosé, organic guac, or an entire spread for a picnic under the palms, you can feel good knowing your cooler is doing its part for the environment.
Designed for LA Life
Los Angeles living means always being on the move—rooftop to beach, brunch to bonfire. Out of the Woods gets it. Their coolers are intentionally lightweight and built to last, perfect for city dwellers who want versatility without compromise. Heading to a Dodgers tailgate in Echo Park? Planning a Malibu sunset with your crew? Just toss your essentials in, zip it up, and go. With designs that are both practical and polished, these coolers feel right at home whether you’re posting up at Dockweiler or pulling up to a picnic in Griffith Park.
One of the standout features? The effortless style. Out of the Woods coolers don’t scream “camping trip”—they’re minimal and chic, a natural extension of your summer aesthetic. Pair one with your canvas tote and oversized shades, and you’ve got yourself an IG-worthy setup that doesn’t sacrifice functionality.
Sustainability with Substance
Of course, being stylish is only half the story. Out of the Woods was created with a clear mission: to offer everyday products that move the world toward a more sustainable future. Their signature washable paper material is more than a novelty—it’s a statement. Not only is it sturdy and flexible, it’s also an answer to the plastic-laden, landfill-bound products that flood the market every summer.
With many brands making surface-level eco claims, Out of the Woods is actually doing the work. The company uses Global Recycled Standard-certified materials, and all their paper is FSC® (Forest Stewardship Council) certified, which guarantees it comes from responsibly managed forests that provide environmental, social, and economic benefits. Translation: they’re not greenwashing—they’re grounding their designs in genuine impact.
