comment
" ...  This allows me to stash pumped milk in my office instead of having to use the shared fridge.  ...  "
comment
" ...  I’m really warm days I may put an extra slim freezer pack inside just in case. ... Overall I am happy with the product and am not having to replace freezer packs constantly when my kids accidentally threw them away.  ...  "
comment
" ...  Very easy to fold up and they take very little space in the freezer.  ...  "

" ...  second set of these, first set lasted about 1 year and zippers gave out.  ...  "
comment
" ...  I’ve had this bag for about 4 months and the zipper has been broken for at least a month and the Velcro isn’t holding well anymore.  ...  "
comment
" ...  I had to send the first one back almost immediately because the fabric tore away from the seam on the bottom.  ...  "
comment
" ...  The bag is heavy, so I went back to my old one until I can find a something else.  ...  "
comment
" ...  It was a zipper and the velcro so no risks of spillage.  ...  "
comment
" ...  The Velcro stops working after a while and while this shouldn't be a problem, it is because the handle is attached to the closure flap and that won't stay closed. ... The result is that if you have a drink or anything heavy in the bag, you can't carry it by the strap because it comes open.  ...  "
comment
" ...  After that, it will start to rip and fray. ... They need to redesign and sew the handles from the sides, not the top portion .  ...  "
comment
" ...  The bag began to rip several month into using it. ... It has been ripping where the bag flaps over on the seam.  ...  "

comment

comment
" ...  Velcro Already weak and doesn’t close after 6 weeks  ...  "
comment
" ...  If you pack something a little heavier, such as a thermos or a water bottle, the velcro doesn't hold.  ...  "
comment
" ...  The handle on the top has never worked since day one, because the velcro is not strong enough to keep the flap secured, and if the flap comes up, the handle doesn't work. ... Poor construction means I will be getting out my sewing kit this weekend (see photo) so that items don't keep falling out of the bag.  ...  "
comment
" ...  They look the same but when you go to fold them to freeze them (on the pattern we purchased, Catty) the bottom folds in half so when it comes out of the freezer the bottom is a frozen piece that isn't flat so you can't easily fill the lunchbox. ... In other Pack Its that we've had over the years they were made to fold flat on the bottom to freeze.  ...  "
comment
" ...  The bottom fold froze in half and now will not allow the bag to be fully opened.  ...  "
comment
" ...  The velcro falls apart within weeks of using this lunch bag! ... Unfortunately, this also causes the entire top of the bag to move around because it attaches to the bag with the tiny piece of velcro.  ...  "
