Looks like a great product, but seems way too big to fit into most any lunch bag. Do you have trouble fitting it in a bag?

I use only the top tier with the little squares in it- I but a bento band around it and then I put it in a BYOB bag so it sits flat on bottom- those bags are stretchy-- ;)

I have a larger lunch bag and I have not problems fitting the bento box. If you have a normal size lunchbox or bag you're going to have a tough time. The base of my lunchbox measures 10" long and 7" wide. The height is 9".

Julie - I use one level of the bento box for my kids lunches. I do not have trouble getting one layer into their lunch bags, which are larger. My daughter has a BYO neoprene bag from Target and my son has a roll top embark brand bag from Target. They have come in very handy, as my kids are not big fans of sandwiches and prefer Lunchable type items, fruit and veggies, etc. in their lunches. Hope that helps! Candy

Yes it is too big to fit in a normal lunch box. I don't use it as much as I would because of that.

It would likely be too big for a lunch bag. I just carry mine with the built in handle without a bag.

Really? Are you serious or is this a joke? Why would anyone want to pack a lunch into a bag that is tall (about 12 inches), has a narrow depth (about 4 inches), and is designed to organize, store, and transport items such as pencils, pens, documents, mobile phones, Kindles, etc.? Wouldn't it be more practical to use something like the Igloo Playmate?

I am not sure if it would fit in a wildkin lunch bag. I just thought the containers were bigger

Nope, it's pretty big and there's no hope of fitting it back into the bag it came in. I would hope for something better for the price.

I have a bento box from this company that fits perfectly in the bottom compartment. It measures 9" x 7". Something approximately 1/2" larger on each side would likely fit, but not more than that. So, I think it would fit something as large as 9 1/2" x 7 1/2". Hope that helps! I really like the insulated bag and am quite happy with my purchase.

I've put standard sandwich size bread as well as oversized "country size" bread in it. I've also put in sliced specialty breads like Ecce Panis Tuscan Boule or La Brea's 3 Cheese Semolina in it. All have been successful. The length of the bread has never been an issue for me - I've found I need to make sure bagels are evenly sliced, though.

I would say so but it will depend on how big it is. I currently use a divided container that measures 5 by 5 by 4 inches and I still have space for more on the sides and top of the container. The lunch bag measures 9 by 6 by 6.

As noted, the provided sack is far too large. I, too, fold mine (large size) in half and roll it tight. It perfectly fits inside a cheap dry sack I had from Walmart (10.75 inch width) http://outdoorproducts.com/3-pack-ultimate-dry-sack/ In general, I feel it is really bulky to pack, so if you can afford it, maybe try for the prolite. Nevertheless, I LOVE this pad and have had it for 4 years with no problems. Every time I decide not to bring it on a backpacking trip, I regret it

I'm not sure of the actual dimensions, but it should fit in one of the old school metal lunch boxes. They sell them at Hobby Lobby. I hope this helps.

It's larger than "old-time" standard brown paper lunch-bags. I can fit in a full Rubbermaid "lunch blox" set plus a litter-less 9 oz drink container, plastic utensils, & a small treat.

The inside is a little larger than a regular sized paper lunch bag. The surrounding freeze packs make it a little bigger. Should fit several lunch items but not a large water bottle.

Strange!I only have one smaller bag that fits inside,I don't know what the longer bag would be for???maybe it was a packaging mistake.I suggest calling manufacturer just to be sure but it works fine with the small bag.

I sent it back so I don't know for sure but the bag is way too big for a lunch bag unless it's for 2 people and you're really hungry. I bought it for my daughter and we both laughed that they call this a lunch bag.

Either the "Salad kit" or the "Sandwich kit" fits in this bag, with room left over on top. The "entree kit" does not fit. It is too wide.

A qualified yes. I have some standard short insulated zip-around that fit them perfectly. A tiny bit of head room for a thin ice pack and juice pouch (probably not a juice box). The taller, boxy insulated zip-arounds have a smaller footprint and don't fit them. The fold-down insulated bags are too small. I just bought an ebags lunchbox to accommodate more variety of drink options (like a water bottle).

I come from the old school of rolling up the sleeping bag tight which is always more of a challenge with the nylon outer layer. I had not problem rolling up this bag, it fit well and shug in the carrying sack but I was not able to zip up the carrying sack with the full length zipper taking away the additional 3 inches of area. I imagine if I re-rolled the bag I could make it fit in the zipped carrying sack.
