Next, think about insulation. An insulated lunch bag will keep your food cool for hours using a layer of thermal lining. Lunch cooler bags are specifically rated to keep contents cold or warm. You'll also want a lunch tote that's durable, leak-proof and easy to clean. Look for a high-density material like nylon, polyester or canvas and a water-resistant lining. Smooth interiors that wipe down easily are best. Some bags are even dishwasher safe, making cleanup a breeze.
Lastly, consider additional features like multiple compartments, a detachable shoulder strap, bottle holders or a built-in ice pack. Little touches like a mesh pocket for utensils, a bottle holder or a clip for keys can make a big difference in convenience and usability.
