Car cooler bag

Not so long ago, to take food with them on a trip, travelers had to tightly wrap it in blankets, put ice packs there, or bottles of hot water, but, despite all the efforts made, the necessary temperature regime was not retained for long.

The situation is quite different today. On the eve of the holiday season, there is a sharp increase in the demand for refrigerated bags , which have become a real salvation for those traveling in a car. What a miracle is this invention, and how to choose a suitable model, on these and other exciting issues, we will dwell in more detail.

Car cooler bag - varieties

Before proceeding directly to the classification of bags, we immediately denote that the refrigerator, an isothermal bag is called very conditional, since it does not produce cold, unlike the first, but only it preserves. Therefore, having in mind bags made of nylon or polyester or rigid boxes in which there is no connection to the mains, you need to understand that they work on a slightly different principle than your home assistant. And now let's move on to the types of bags and mini refrigerators that you can take with you to the car:

  1. So, with you on the road you can take a usual isotherm bag or backpack . This is the simplest and cheapest option, which is made of synthetic materials with isothermal interlayer inside. There are models with special salt accumulators, which extend the cold storage period to 12 hours. Depending on the number of people and the duration of the journey, the capacity of the product varies, and, correspondingly, its weight and dimensions. In general, manufacturers offer models with a capacity of 2 to 16 kg.
  2. A more convenient and practical option for an automotive refrigerator bag is a container or box made of rigid materials. Containers also have a thermo insulating layer and "cold" batteries. Such models are good in that they keep the necessary temperature regime from 10 to 72 hours and have a larger volume. So the weight in the container can vary from 3 to 120 kg.
  3. Outside of competition with conventional isothermic bags - automotive cooler bags that run from the cigarette lighter and mini refrigerators that plug into the mains of the machine. These are the most reliable and expensive options, which are represented by a large assortment. The refrigerator bag for the car from the cigarette lighter is different from the portable thermos bag or container by the cooling principle. So the latter maintain the desired temperature regime thanks to the cold cells (pre-cooled batteries), while in the first batteries are operated on the electrical basis, which allows you to save products for a longer period.

How to choose a refrigerator bag for a car?

When choosing the right model, many factors need to be considered. This is the ratio of price and quality, the range of travel, the number of travelers, as well as the availability of free space in the car. So for a small company, going on a picnic outside the city, a small portable thermos-bag or container will be enough.

For a family that is going on a long journey with a small child - a great option is a car refrigerator bag working on a cigarette lighter or a mini fridge.

Also, before buying it is worth paying attention to the quality of the material (it should be durable and water-repellent if it is fabric or thick and stiff in the case of plastic). In addition, when choosing a fabric isothermal bag, the important criterion is the thickness of the walls, the larger it is, the longer the desired temperature will be maintained. Importantly, and the availability of additional accessories: straps, wheels, locks and other trifles.
