In this category, we take a look at what an ice chest bag is and some of the different features that you should look out for when purchasing one.
When we are getting ready for work in the morning and we’re preparing our lunch and such, it’s our natural response to put our lunch into our backpacks. We don’t think about it, we just do it. If this is what you’re used to doing, then you won’t think twice. However, if you really think about it, keeping your lunch inside of your backpack is simply ineffective. Not only will it get squashed due to the other things in your backpack, but it will get warm and your lunch won’t be as good as it would otherwise.
With this in mind, one of the most common solutions to both of these problems is to purchase a soft ice chest bag. In this article, we will be discussing some of the important features which are worth looking out for when purchasing an ice chest bag.
An ice chest bag is simply a soft sided cooler which you can use to store food or drink in, in order to keep them cold for long periods of time. This is often preferable than storing your consumables in a regular backpack or even in your pocket.
Typically, a backpack ice chest will come equipped with a tight zipper to further help keep your consumables cool.
There are many different ice chest bags out there which are available, all of which are fairly similar. One of the biggest benefits to using an ice chest bag, or any soft sided cooler for that matter, is that they are very lightweight and won’t add too much weight to what you’re already carrying.
Although both of these items are very similar, there are a few distinct features which make them different from each other.
The main difference between the two is that a soft ice chest typically has a hard material inside of it to help retain the shape of the cooler, whereas a soft sided cooler can be folded up and put away.
Some Features to Look Out For in a Backpack Ice ChestBelow are some of the main features to look out for when you are purchasing a soft ice chest backpack.
Size. This is the number one aspect of the backpack to consider; what size you will be requiring. Before you can determine this, you must first know what you’ll be using it for. If you’ll be using it to contain your lunch, a smaller ice chest backpack will be fine. If you’ll be using it for car journeys, perhaps a larger backpack would be worth looking into.
Shape. Admittedly, there are some strangely shaped coolers out there. Unless you’re looking for a specific ice chest bag, try to look for a generically shaped backpack.
Reviews. If you’re struggling to make a decision on which backpack ice chest to buy, take a brief look at the reviews which others have left. Of course, this site can also help you in this area!
