Know before you buy
While the duration depends on the ambient temperature and the amount of ice used, the food-grade insulation is designed to keep items chilled for standard outings like picnics or beach trips. For best results, we recommend using ice packs rather than loose ice.
Yes, the tote features a seam-sealed, food-grade PEVA liner designed to prevent leaks. This makes it safe for transporting items that might melt or spill, and it is easy to wipe clean after use.
