Bump for the Pm readers

What a great idea, thanks for the review GG

A little pricey cooler, imo. Has fashion sense, though, I'll give it that. Since it's designed to stay in the bag and not be seen much, there is probably a cheaper alternative.

Is it leak proof?

[AlistDakisa]

What do you mean by leak proof? Do you mean will the contents inside not leak or the cooling mechanism?

I can totally see your point Smallville. I think for ladies, and this is a generalization, but we like the matchy-matchy. It's fun to pull out a pretty bag from your bag that carries your lipstick, snack, etc. Plus it can be used for other outdoor activities which is nice. I am sure a cheap lunch box would work just the same but this is more a practical fashion item if that makes sense.

Think of it this way, sneakers are often more comfortable then stilettos but most ladies are not going to wear sneakers with a hot dress, it's what we do for fashion.

GG - I prefer to coordinate rather than be matchy matchy, but that's me. I do like the idea of an attractive cooler bag, but I don't like the shape. It would work better for me as a rectangle - then I could put my sandwich in there along with my Epi-pen and a few other things.

The cooling mechanism part of the bag!

Well put and my thoughts exactly!!

Smallville, its a girl thing

I know, GG, I was just looking at it from a frugal perspective. I can see where people could go crazy over this.

I'm just more of a "if I can do the same thing cheaper I will" guy. (I made my own stance alignment guide with CPVC for three bucks instead of paying $25 or so for the same thing!)

That is kind of what I meant by matchy-matchy. As for the size it can easily fit a sandwich and an Epi-pen, it's not a rectangle but I don't see there being an issue fitting those items. I was told that they will be coming out with some new designs for the PGA show so I will make sure to report back and let you know if they have one coming out in a more rectangular shape

Oh you are preaching to the choir of cheapness here. If I can find a cheaper alternative I am all over it. Except clothes, I will pay more for quality but of course I am thrilled to death if I can find it on sale instead.

No, the bag was a little slick on the outside but not wet and nothing else got wet from it.

That would be great. I help run the events for our league so we're always looking for new prizes.

I use my kids' spare insulated lunchbags when I play with my league. Not attractive, but you can't beat the price. I just slide a thin icey in there and keep a water bottle and a soda nice and cold.
