Whether for a picnic, hiking, on the beach or when travelling: a few snacks and cool drinks are a must for longer trips. To keep them fresh (and edible) for as long as possible, a small cool bag is the ideal companion for on the go.
In the warm summer months, but also on mild autumn days, food that perishes quickly does not keep very long without refrigeration. This applies in particular to fresh meat and sausage products, but also to cheese. For day trips and during long car journeys, it is therefore advisable to keep all food and drinks in a cool bag so that they stay fresh for longer. Small models are particularly practical here because they take up less space and are therefore easier to transport. In the car, on the bike or on foot. In the following we will introduce you to five small cooler bags from different manufacturers in more detail.
Cooler bag: small
1. Reisenthel coolerbag XS
The company is known for its extensive range of shopping baskets and bags. But what many people don’t know is that Reisenthel also offers so-called cooler bags in various sizes and colours. The XS variant (also suitable for the Carrybag XS) holds just four liters and is therefore ideal for one person. It offers enough space for a snack and a drink. Thanks to the thermal inner lining and tight-fitting lid, the contents should stay cool.2. Thermos cooler bag Radiance small
