Let’s face it, summer has been pretty abysmal so far with only short bursts of hot weather making an appearance between mainly overcast and rainy days. When we are blessed with glorious weather, we have to make the most of it, and Amazon is selling an item perfect for taking on sunny days out.
The online giant is selling a large cool bag that can store up to 24L of food and drink and will keep them cool for ‘up to 12 hours’, making it the ideal companion for picnics, long walks, day trips, camping and more. The Upeelife Portable Cool Box Bag is currently on sale at Amazon for £21.24, down from £26.99, and comes in three different colours, each varying in price.
As well as keeping items cool, it can ensure perishables remain fresh and hot food stays warm – a particularly handy feature for barbecues. The main compartment of the cooler is lined with environmentally friendly PEVA and filled with EPE foam which insulates and provides protection against water drops.
The cool bag is lined with advanced heat-press technology to make it leak-proof, a useful feature if you want to pour ice cubes into the bag to ensure your drinks stay extra chilled. It has reinforced stitching with a high-quality water and tear-resistant polyester fabric, meaning the bag should last you for a long time.
Upeelife’s Portable Cool Box Bag has been designed with comfort in mind, as it has durable padded Velcro handles and a removable shoulder strap, giving you hand, shoulder and crossbody carrying options. The small loop straps on the front of the bag allow you to hang a bottle opener, sunglasses or any other essential small items for your day out.
More than 100 Amazon customers have reviewed the cool bag, with it receiving an impressive average rating of 4.7 out of five. Not one person has a bad word to say about the bag, with one delighted shopper writing: “Superb, high quality and an excellent thermal barrier. Having tried many cool bags, this is a cut above the rest.”
A second said: “This outperformed our expectations. Durable material, very well insulated… Our first use we put cold food and soda in the cooler – there was nothing extra to keep them cold, but the insulation was so good that at the end of the day everything was still nice and cool.
“We now have ice we put in the cooler and it stays cold for two full days on the road in the boot of the car. High-quality construction, and it looks great. We are very pleased.”
Someone else added: “The extra pockets are a bonus and also the depth. I made a large trifle for jubilee weekend (which was rather hot) and this bag not only kept it in place without spoiling the topping, it was still lovely and cold.”
You can buy the Upeelife Portable Cool Box Bag from Amazon for £21.24 for a limited time. If you’re after a different cool bag, John Lewis is selling the Polar Gear Adventure 20L Picnic Cooler Bag for £26.99, while Dunelm has the Three Rivers 20L Family Cool Bag for £24. Both of these alternatives, however, are smaller than the Amazon Upeelife cool bag.
