Lunch Cooler
Probably wrong forum to ask this, but figured it would get the most opinions. Looking to buy a lunch cooler finally to bring along on trips. Sick of buying food in the terminals. Any suggestions of what works that has decent storage space? Looking for something that easily fits on top of my Luggage Works bag as well. Thanks for the help!

+1... Most every line pilot I've spoken with says it's well worth the $30 and pays itself off within the first few trips of use. Plus it clips right onto the top of the rollerboard bag and sits on your flightkit if you have that hanging by the rollerboard's clip too.

I don't know about the others but my Strong Bag will hold ice for like 48 hours. I put in my food and a 1 gallon Zip Lock full of ice anytime I need more Ice I just get it out of the hotel Ice machines. It works slick as can be.

Ebags makes a great crew cooler. I have used it for years now, works great. As far as ice, go to Walgreens and buy their blue rubber ice bag, small, around $9, large, around $11, expensive but worth it. The Ebags is well insulated, keeps ice all day and is a nice size and has lots of little extra compartments.

Horses for courses. This is a 6 pack sized unit. It works as a coolie [passive] or a cooler [peltiers@12v]. It will cool hot bear in a Texas summer in half an hour !!!.. and its worth $650!!!!!!

I got one of these for $150 and it is great in the shade. Outdoors in high temp / humidity it becomes a soggy condensate magent. In the shade / cab of a vehicle it is fine. It WILL NOT cool items but will keep refrigerated stuffs cool all day.

Okay, I'm in the market now for a cooler bag myself, down to 3 options since a few of the eBags reviews by flight crew were 'thumbs down' for various reasons I don't want to deal with.
In order of high-low price, awaiting further review from my peers:
1) StrongBag Canadian Ice Flight Crew Cooler
(StrongBags - Flight Crew Luggage: Canadian Ice Flight Crew Cooler - Coolers & Duffles - Products)
2) Aerocoast PRO Notebook Cooler
(http://www.**************/aerocoast-...ndant-bag.html)
3) LuggageWorks Aurora(LuggageWorks Aurora Cooler Tote - Coolers - Luggage - Products)
A little time has gone by since this thread was last active, I just wanted to see where everyone stood on their cooler bag choices... I'm at am impasse on deciding which one I want to get.
