Cooling performance depends on how the bag is packed, the amount and type of ice or ice packs used, outside temperature and how often the zip is opened.
For best results, pre-chill food and drinks, use plenty of well-frozen ice packs or ice, pack the bag firmly, limit openings and keep it out of direct sun.
Shade helps reduce heat build-up and gives the insulation less work to do, especially in hot Australian conditions.
Whenever possible, keep your cooler bag out of prolonged direct sunlight and close the zip promptly after opening.
Empty the bag, wipe it clean and allow it to air dry completely before storage.
Store it unzipped in a cool, dry place so air can circulate and trapped moisture or odours do not build up.
Start with chilled food and drinks and use plenty of frozen ice packs or ice around the contents.
Keep food sealed or in containers, pack the bag firmly to reduce warm air space, and limit how often the zip is opened.
After use, empty the bag and wipe the liner and exterior with a soft cloth or sponge using warm water and mild dishwashing detergent.
Wipe away any soap residue and allow the bag to air dry completely with the zip open before storing.
Avoid harsh chemicals, solvents and abrasive cleaners.
