Product Information
Full details
The B&Q Insulated Cool Bag is an essential accessory for outdoor enthusiasts, families, and picnickers who need to keep food and beverages at a safe, chilled temperature while on the move. Offering a 12.5-litre capacity, it provides enough space for a full lunch or several drinks, supported by a thick PEVA lining that maintains cold temperatures for up to 8 hours. While it is perfect for day trips and beach outings, users should note that its performance is dependent on external ambient temperatures and the use of ice packs for optimal longevity.

FAQs
Does this bag come with ice packs included?
No, the B&Q Insulated Cool Bag is sold as a standalone item. We recommend using separate ice packs for best cooling results.
Can I put hot food in this bag?
While the insulation will slow heat loss, this bag is specifically designed for keeping items chilled.
Is the exterior material waterproof?
The bag features a leakproof interior, but the outer fabric is designed for durability and travel; it is not fully submersible.
How much can the 12.5L capacity hold?
It is sized for standard lunch containers and a selection of beverage bottles or cans suitable for a small group.
Can I put this in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the internal insulation and the exterior structural integrity. Please hand-clean with a damp cloth.
Troubleshooting
Cooling performance is lower than expected
Ensure you are using high-quality ice packs and that the bag is packed tightly to minimize empty air space.
Lingering food odors inside the bag
Wipe the interior with a mixture of water and mild baking soda, then allow it to air dry thoroughly in an open position.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your B&Q Insulated Cool Bag in top condition, follow these simple guidelines:
- Preparation: Always pre-cool your items. The bag is a container, not a refrigerator, so it works best if the contents start cold.
- Cleaning: After every use, wipe the interior PEVA lining with a damp, soapy cloth. Do not submerge the bag in water, as this can affect the outer fabric and insulation.
- Storage: Ensure the bag is completely dry inside and out before folding it for storage to prevent mold or odors.
- Handling: Avoid overfilling the bag to ensure the zipper can close completely, as an open seal is the primary cause of heat loss.
