I've had this for a year and I would recommend it to anyone who's looking for a light-weight tote that can carry a lot of things, along with keeping them warm and cold.
I used to keep a hard-cased cooler in my car, but it was clunky at best. Now, in the summertime, I put an ice pack in the bottom and load it up after a grocery store trip. It holds a lot! There's plenty of other users pictures, but I can easily fit a gallon of milk, a few flats of chicken, and all of my fruits and veggies. It does get heavy, but the straps on mine are still holding strong. It's lightweight when it's empty (makes for easy storage) and the straps are long enough that I can put it on my shoulder with it poking into my armpit.
I don't use it as often for warm food, and never really carry hot food around, but the few times that I have used it for warm food I didn't have any issues. I would assume that if you put a small, warm item in the bag it wouldn't stay warm for hours due to all of the extra room.
I've spilled plenty of things in this bag, and I usually just put in the shower and rinse it clean; good as new!
I can't believe that I didn't think of getting an insulated bag sooner! I routinely go to multiple grocery stores and was always worried about perishables in the trunk of my car, especially on a warmer day. I still strategize my trips, but this bag really puts me at ease. I grab an ice pack from the fridge and pop it in here, then everything chilled has a place to stay a little safer. It had really good ratings at Cook's Illustrated, who actually tested things like how well it kept things chilled, so I'll have to trust them on that one. The quality looks and feels very nice.
This bag is constructed really well. I've overloaded it a few times and it hasn't ripped, no zipper issues. My only wish is that it was a little bit better insulated. I sometimes buy groceries by work before I go home and my frozen stuff gets home a bit thawed after a 40 minute drive. But that isn't even that bad, most people don't make a 40 minute trip after grocery shopping. I'd buy this again if mine ripped.
These insulated bags are a game-changer for parties: One or two of these and a 10-pound bag of ice are all it takes to accommodate drinks that would otherwise occupy valuable fridge space or simply go unchilled. They fold flat, so they can be kept in a closet until needed and even pulled out at the last minute if a guest shows up with a six-pack or a bottle of bubbly that you weren't anticipating. The bright colors allow them to be distributed around a living room for a serve-yourself atmosphere. The jumbo size is great too.
Just received this tote and I already love it. The colors pictured are true to the actual item (green/chocolate), and it feels like a quality bag. I can't imagine how big the "jumbo" size would be, since this bag is fairly large itself.
I purchased it to keep our meats chilled on grocery/errand days--and will test that out soon. My first impression, though, is that this tote will hold up quite well. The stitching looks great, the size is perfect, and it's all around attractive. :)

I was looking for a cooler that zipped to keep the cold in and that would fit behind my front seat and this fit the bill! I love it, works so much better than my previous one that was the same shape but had flaps on both sides that let the cold out and the heat in. This one is taller too so I can get more in it.
This cooler is a really nice alternative to the typical hard square cooler. We go to the beach alot and I get tired of taking the same small cooler that leaks on me whenever I put the strap around my arm and that won't hold but a couple sandwiches and drinks. This thing is pretty big and holds more than we usually need. We have had it filled with various snacks, 3 sandwiches, gatorade, and at least 3 can drinks and there is still plenty of room. We put ice directly into it and it keeps everything cold for quite awhile, but the ice does indeed melt if its hot so we had to tip it over and drain it every now and then; no leaks though!
This bag is a great size and wonderful quality inside and out! Easy to wipe clean if anything spills on the inside and keeps cold items cold. I often take it to the beach and use it as our cooler. The shoulder straps allow easy carrying and keeps my hands free.I put bottled waters on the bottom of it and pile the rest of our food on top. Really holds quite a bit.
This was recommended on a cooking show I watch (not Rachael's) and I wanted one to keep in the car for when I shop. I was meeting a friend for a show and lunch so I took some plastic "frozen ice" out of my freezer and put them in the bag. I took my food into the house but forgot about the ice. The next day they were still partially frozen and the bag was cold on the inside. I would highly recommend this. I also put items in there when shopping and going from store to store without the frozen ice and they stay nice and cold until I get home. I believe this also works with hot.
These are great bags! They hold a ton, really insulate and are quite durable. I have had 2 of these bags for at least 2 years and use them constantly. They show no wear whatsoever other than surface dirt. I haven't ever cleaned the outsides, but have easily wiped out the insides. Love them!
