Default What do you guys use to carry your food in?

I'm looking for a decent sized bag with a waterproof lining to keep some snacks in on my trips. Nothing huge I'm not packing all my food for a 4 day, just something to keep a couple of sandwiches and some fruit preferably with a cool pack. Any recommendations?

Mod's why was this thread moved? I am a regional pilot asking a question that is pertinent to other regional pilots.

I use (used) this one from ebags:

eBags Professional Series Crew Cooler > Travel Coolers > Travel Accessories - eBags

It works pretty well, I just put some ice in a ziplock bag each morning and it would keep things cold all day. Four days of food stuffs it, but it fits, and it has other non insulated pockets too. I liked it because it doesn't look too much like a lunch box, and I have seem other guys with it too.

I used the pursy neat stuff bag and it was great. I could fit about 4 days worth of food depending on what I brought and I never had any issues with it. Comes with shoulder strap or you can slide it over your extended handle or on the hook.

Luggage works has a couple cooler bags on their website and they have a back strap to slide over the extended handle on your rollerbag.

Thanks guys, I went with the ebags cooler, it's on sale for $29.99 right now and I like the way it fits over the handle of your suitcase.
