Frequently Asked Questions
How long does an insulated rucksack keep food and drink cool?
Depending on the quality of the insulation and the outdoor temperature, a good cool bag keeps food and drinks chilled for several hours - often half a day. An ice pack extends this considerably.
What can you put in a cool bag rucksack?
Sandwiches, salads, fruit, cheese, drinks and all your picnic fare. Pop in an ice block for anything perishable, and keep your bits and bobs (cutlery, napkins) in the side pockets.
Which capacity should you choose?
It depends on how many people you're cooking for and how long the trip is: a small capacity for one person, more litres for a meal shared with the family. As always, it's better to get the right size than one that's too big.
Is the cool bag comfortable to carry?
Yes: our hiking designs feature the same padded straps and ventilated back panel as a classic rucksack. Just remember to balance the load, as a packed meal and drinks can add some weight.
