It would hold my Thinsulate and Gore Tex parka and winter boots, no problem. Or other change of clothes without crumpling - should accommodate carefully folded trousers, shirt, etc., and dress shoes.
I saw a picture of your bike in another thread. What brand of cooler is that? I might want to try something similar.
