This is a great grown-up looking lunch tote. When it arrived, I realized it is intended for mothers of young children with bottles and snacks, but it is a good looking, easy to clean, insulated lunch bag for adults too.

I wanted to order the larger Gourmet Getaway bag, but the one I wanted wasn't available. This one is a little smaller, but is still large enough for a big lunch and bottle of water. The fabric stretches and the zipper is strong, so I don't need to worry about a bag blowout. When it arrived, it had a bit of the funky new fabric smell, but it has since settled. It is washable, but takes a while to dry, and you have to be careful about putting anything wet in there (like from the freezer). My only other minor complaint is that the handles are not quite large enough to throw over my arm with a heavy coat, so that to carry it, you need a hand. (Problematic when you've got a purse, are trying to find bus fare, etc.) Either a larger hole in the handle or a detachable shoulder strap would be great. Otherwise, a great bag.

I was worried when reading that this only stays cold for 2 hours, I didn't know if that meant this or without an ice pack. (that means without an ice pack!) But I use ice packs always just incase, I'm worried about milk spoiling all the time. I put a medium size ice pack in last night at about 5pm, forgot about it and the leftover milk in there too until this morning about 8am and everything was still cold. My house was around 65 degrees all night, so I thought that was really good! It is large enough to put both my lunch and his in here, plus a bottle or sippy cup! has worked great....definately recomend it!

This is a great tote, and is plenty stretchy for those soup n' salad lunches that don't fit in a regular bag.

The only problem is the material (wetsuit-y type stuff) tends to attract pet fur and lint. Mine looks a bit disreputable after a year, but I still like it.

Save yourself some time and money from those plastic lined totes you have to scrub out and replace every 6 months. These are great! my kids take then for lunch everyday.we have had them for almost 3 years now and they are in great condition. The insulation is pretty good,the durability is excellent, size is perfect and I love that when the kids make a mess, I can toss them in the wash! They come in a great variety of colors and patterns,however, the baby one(black and green lined) has a fuzzy sort of texture. This I find undesirable as it is a lint collector ( I still use it.) If a liquid is spilled inside them they do hold it inside but it will leak out slowly(I imagine there aren't many that wont leak eventually)For the durability, the money it saves and waste is saves the environment by not having to throw out a lunch tote every 6 months, these are way worth the money.

it's the perfect size for taking my lunch to work. I can put it in the refrigerator without taking up too much room and then just throw it in the washing machine when it needs cleaning. Very convenient!

This thing holds alot! And great material! Can't go wrong with this bag! Buy it NOW!

Love this bag-it's washable, really expandable, holds everything I need it to, and on top of everything, it looks good! Very happy with my purchase!!!

Flexible, roomy, packs flat when not in use. Great for packing on trips or small day outings.
