The present invention provides a novel foldable softwalled cooler for preventing temperature change of heated or cooled items placed therein. The structure generally includes flexible walls having an insulating material therein and a bottom connected to the walls forming a cavity between the walls and the bottom. The inside surface of the walls and the bottom are covered by a water resistant material that is heat sealed at seams so as to prevent leakage at the seams. A panel is provided within the cavity and is likewise covered in a water resistant material. The water resistant material of the panel is heat sealed at the area of connection to the water resistant material of the walls and bottom at a position between the front wall and the bottom. The panel is capable of being positioned either along the bottom surface to provide structural support when food and beverages are placed within the cooler, or it may be placed generally next to the front wall of the cooler so as to not impede the cooler's ability to fold or the cooler's appearance when it is in its folded configuration. A flap extends from a back wall and is capable of overlying at least a portion of the front wall when the cooler is in the folded configuration and acts as a cover when the cooler is in the unfolded configuration.
