"A chic choice in cool, functional neoprene..." – Good Housekeeping

Built took an award-winning design and made it even better with the Tortuga Lunch Tote.

Product Details


Dimensions
10.5" W x 9" H x 6" D

Design & Functionality
Use it to carry everything from food to small drinks. Its material not only insulates, but cradles and helps protect items from impact. Bag zips shut to keep items in place. Stores completely flat or can be rolled up for easy storage.

Avoid any possibility of lead exposure in your lunch bag or lunch box. Built's Tortuga has been tested and is lead-safe. To read about recent finding of high levels of lead found in some children's lunch boxes click here.

Materials
Made with lightweight insulating neoprene. Neoprene is water-resistant, abrasion-resistant (there's a reason why it's preferred by coral reef divers), has insulating properties & is extremely lightweight. At less than 5mm thick, it protects while not being bulky. Neoprene is also vinyl free and lead-safe.

Sustainability
Made to last and designed to be reused over and over again, Built Fugu Lunch Totes can help eliminate thousands of throwaway lunch bags over the course of a lifetime.

About Built®
Based in New York City, Built offers an award winning line of more than 100 products, ranging from totes for bottles, lunch or meals on the go, and even baby bottles and bibs.

Built's line of wine bottle totes hold patent and trademark registration for their distinctive design and configuration. In late 2006, the company branched into the electronic accessory market with the introduction of laptop sleeves and handheld electronic carriers.

In 2005, the company was awarded a Gold in Business Week's annual Industrial Design Excellence Awards (IDEA) for its Lunch Tote and in 2004 for its Two-Bottle Wine Tote.

    I bought this style because it was on sale
    2 out of 2 customers found this review helpful

    by Megan J - 08/2009

    I bought this style because it was on sale. I was sick of using random bags from around the house. I find it to be too small for my purposes--I often pack a frozen lean cuisine-type meal and the box will not fit in the bag. It is also difficult to fit other rigidly shaped containers into the bag, like a water bottle. Insulation is great and it looks pretty cool--I may have to order the large size.

    surprisingly cold...

    by Susan W - 11/2009

    I was surprised at how well this kept my food cold. I just wit the bag in my office and by lunch my ice pack is still frozen. Often, by the time I get home there is still some ice in the ice pack. For how thin and light it is, that surprised me. Very happy and didn't notice a strange smell after the first couple uses.

    by mimi k - 10/2009

    Great style, holds more than expect and love that it's insulating from temps as well as bumps. But it smells. Yeah, I know, neoprene.

    by Shirley H. Y - 09/2009

    I love this tote and use it every day to bring lunch to work. This is a hot climate and everything in the bag stays cool until lunchtime. My 27 oz. Kleen Kanteen and containers of food fit in with no problem. It looks really good too.

    Love this lunch bag

    by Debra S - 09/2009

    Love this lunch bag. I carry a few different sized containers for my lunch everyday. This bag holds them all! I can put two 2 cup containers on the bottom of the bag, then stack containers on top of them. Even throw in a can of Coke if I wanted to. Looks cute and is durable!

    My husband loves this bag!

    by Michelle C - 09/2009

    My husband loves this bag! We live in Arizona, and it is important that his food stay cold on his 45 min drive to work each day. This bag fits a lot of food, and really keeps it cold - just as it says it does!

    The Tortuga lunch bag is wonderful!

    by Diana K - 09/2009

    The Tortuga lunch bag is wonderful! My 2 kids use these as their school lunch bags. It is the perfect size and easily holds a large container plus a water bottle. I like that I can place the container flat on the bottom so that the handle is on top. This prevents the container from being on its side and having everything slide to one end. It is very sturdy and lightweight and most importantly, it is machine washable. We had used the nylon lunch bags with vinyl lining for the past 2 years and the Tortuga is far better. There is no vinyl lining in the Tortuga that will tear and since it is machine washable, it will not eventually smell sour like the other ones did. I am extremely happy with this purchase as are my kids. They think it is a nice lunch bag and love taking it to school.

    Love the look of the lunchbag; it is very cute

    by Sanne C - 09/2009

    Love the look of the lunchbag; it is very cute. It stretches to hold stuff of odd shapes and sizes. I have to use Blue Ice blocks to keep my lunch cold enough, though.

    by Katie M - 08/2009

    I've been looking for a bag to hold my lunch for work, that didn't involve just shoving it into my purse and hoping it didn't make a huge mess in there as the day went on. I found this bag and loved the style and colors. I love how cool it keeps things - I do typically put an ice pack in there to keep my can of pop ice cold. But overall I love this product and will continue to purchase items from reusablebags.com. Thank you so much!!!
