What started as a class project the three were assigned as students at Clemson University in 2017 became what Kanga Coolers is known for today — the Kanga Kase Mate, a soft cooler that fits around a 12-pack case of beer or soda — keeping the contents cold, sans ice, for up to seven hours.

You can find Kanga coolers and other products in 4,000 brick-and-mortar locations, online, and on Six & Main.
