The reusable neoprene lunch bags are fine but, my husband and 15 year old son don't appreciate them very much because of the style. Both said they looked like a purse but have chosen to use them anyway. Today, my son was told by a friend that his lunch bag looks like a purse.
Given the price of them, I'm not really intersted in stuffing them in a closet and getting something that looks more rugged/masculine.
My daughter and I are very happy. Can we still return these in favor of something styled for use by men?

I purchased two of the large Built lunch bags for my kids (4 & 7). The plastic lining of the regular kid lunch bags they have out shredded before teh school year was out (A thermos brand did better, but still the lining was tearing). THis made cleaning them harder since water would get in between the lining and the "insulation". I felt I'd wasted about $30 on these lunch bags that wouldn't make it through another school year. This is why I checked out the Built bags. While more expensive than the cheap-o bags you can get for kids at Target, I think these will last much longer. THey also stretch to allow for odd shaped containers. I put one ice pack at the bottom of the bag in the morning (8am) & the pack, while not rock hard, is still cold (6pm). Impressive. I went with solid colors because they were less expensive. The zipper seems very sturdy as does the stitching. I'm hoping these bags will last much longer & I won't be putting them in a landfill in a year! I recommend them! My only complaint is the color matching of the Red version-- it's green inside. Blech! Couldn't htey have picked another color? To me Red & Green = Christmas & so not what I'd want in a lunchbag. Outside of the bad color pairing, LOVE these bags! :)

Great space, enough for my snack yogurt, lunch sandwich, fruit and veggie to go with them as well as my freezer pack to keep things cool. Cleans easily and protects contents' temperature and safety well. The only very mild drawback is that it doesn't sit flat well. It stays where I put it, though. I'd buy it again.

This is a great product, it does not hold enough containers for breakfast and lunch - which is what I usually bring to work. My only other complaint is that it does not keep items cool for very long outside of the refrigerator and without an ice pack. (I have an hour and a half commute) It is very strong! I lugged three beer bottles in the bag without it breaking or tearing the material.

I've been looking for a lunch bag that would accommodate the larger reusable water bottles - this expands to fit the different bottles that I have. It also washes well. I'm very happy.

I bought this lunch tote as a Christmas gift for my husband. We have been packing our lunches for work for years and I use a cloth lunch tote. My husband is not the type of guy to carry a "cute" lunchbox. He was using plastic shopping bags and then throwing them away when he was done eating. I decided it was time to invite him over the plastic-free side of lunch. We were both impressed with how much stuff can be packed into the Built tote; I was able to fit a salad plate inside so he could heat up his lunch. It rolls up easily to slip into our cabinets at the end of the day. My husband says he loves his new gear and I love the fact there are less plastic bags in the landfill.

This bag is the best lunch bag I have ever had. It holds a lot more than you would expect it to. Perfect size for taking my lunches to work. I get complimented on it all the time and people ask where they can get one. Love that it stretches and is easy to clean.

I love this bag. It's washable. It holds a lot of stuff (I like to take big salads for lunch). I haven't found anything to not like about this bag.

I like this product. I pack breakfast & lunch everyday. This bag wasn't big enough for all my lunch dishes but it works well for my breakfast containers. It is very stylish.

I am very happy with the insulated lunch bag
by Kathleen M - 09/2009
I am very happy with the insulated lunch bag. I carry my breakfast and lunch to work, plus a few pieces of fruit and there is plenty of room. It is light weight and not at all bulky. I had been carrying a 6-pack size bag and had trouble fitting everything. It is rare for me to purchase something new when I have something I can make do with, but I am glad I did in this case.
