Sporty’s Introduces New iPad Storage Option with Built-In Cooler and Drink Caddy

The Cooler Caddy keeps your tablet front and center and is a must-have for cross-country flights.

When it comes to cockpit essentials, few products strike the balance between practicality and pilot-specific design quite like the Flight Gear Cooler Caddy from Sporty’s. Designed with iPad pilots in mind, this cooler is more than just a container for cold drinks, it keeps your tablet front and center, accessories organized, and is a must-have for cross-country flights. Here is why we think it deserves a spot in your flight bag.

Stay Refreshed, Stay Focused

Long flights can be draining, especially when hydration takes a backseat. The Flight Gear Cooler Caddy addresses this issue head-on with a leak-proof main compartment that can handle ice and keep your beverages cold for hours. Whether it is a hot summer day or a long-haul flight, you will appreciate having chilled drinks and hydrating snacks at your fingertips. The integrated beverage holders (designed to fit bottles up to 3” in diameter) keep your drinks secure and prevent them from rolling around in the bumps—a thoughtful touch for summer flying.

More Than Just a Cooler

What sets the Cooler Caddy apart is its versatility. Beyond keeping your drinks cold, it doubles as an efficient cockpit organizer. The assortment of exterior pockets is perfect for storing smaller essentials like charging cables, pens, and cleaning cloths. These pockets make it easy to keep accessories organized and accessible, reducing cockpit clutter and streamlining your workflow.
