What Stands Out

  • Two compartments keep meal prep containers apart from drinks and snacks
  • 8 liters holds a full day of meals for one
  • 10 x 9 x 7 inch footprint fits a truck seat, gym cubby or boat bench
  • Handles plus an adjustable shoulder strap for carrying with full hands
  • Light at 11.2 ounces empty

What To Check

  • 8 liters is sized for one person's day, not a whole family outing
  • The listing gives no hours-of-cold rating, so plan on packing an ice pack
  • Hand wash only

The Carhartt Deluxe Dual Compartment cooler is a soft lunch bag built with the work site in mind: two compartments, a zipper closure, handles, a shoulder strap and a compact 8 liter body. It carries an Amazon's Choice badge and is one of Amazon's top sellers in Camping Coolers.

Packed meals only help if they make it to lunchtime cold and in one piece. Splitting the containers from the drinks keeps things organized, and the small footprint means it rides on the truck seat to a long gym day, a Saturday of the boys' games or an early fishing trip.

The Numbers That Matter

Two compartments. Containers in one, drinks and snacks in the other, so you are not digging past a shaker to find lunch.

8 liters in 10 x 9 x 7 inches. Enough for a day of meals for one, small enough for a gym cubby.

11.2 ounces empty. The weight you carry is the food, not the bag.

Who It Is For

The dad who packs his own food for long days out of the house. It holds a couple of the Rubbermaid Brilliance glass containers with room for a BlenderBottle and a few bags of Jack Link's jerky. For a full family day at the lake, a bigger hard cooler is the better tool.

The Short Version

A plain, tough lunch cooler is what keeps a meal plan intact on long days away from the kitchen. I would point a dad here who packs food for the gym, the job site or a morning on the water with the kids. If you need to feed the whole crew, step up to a full-size cooler.
