Picnic Cooler Tote

A picnic cooler tote is simply a bag lined with an insulating fabric that works to keep the air inside the bag at a nice cool temperature. This simple addition to a standard bag leads to a whole lot of benefits over more traditional picnicking accessories like hampers and baskets.

To begin with, these bags are nicely tucked under your arm as opposed to having to lug a box around, straining your arm and off setting your balance. Totes streamline with your body and put all the weight on your shoulder, allowing you to control any swaying with your arm. A standard cooler may just the same keep you food nice and cool for your picnic, but it is not as practical or as comfortable to move around. Along the same lines, when these models aren't in use, just like any other bag, they can be rolled up and tucked away in your car or in a closet in your home. Normal plastic coolers take up an unnecessary amount of space.

The insulating fabric is designed to keep the interior of the bag nice and cool as it sits out in the sun and is moved around in hot weather. Vegetables, leafy greens like lettuce especially, quickly wilt or discolor in such conditions, so it's best to have some sort of accessory to keep them safe. Regardless, any food you take picnicking will benefit from being cool and fresh rather than being at room temperature when you sit down to eat. The fabric requires no maintenance other than maybe a wipe down every now and then.
