Would you recommend using an Ice Pak for this in 110F heat? Or Do you recommend putting this in the freezer before taking to the store- 10miles?

Use an icepack...it will keep few hours. I am in the caribbean and while the ice melted, it kept the drinks cold enough for a extra hours. Please note the outside does get wet.

I don't know I use it for heat. I would imagine maybe only up to an hour. I bought the things that look like blue peas and put it in the freezer. Stays cold several hours.

Hello. It really depends. If you keep it closed, and not let heat in until you reach your destination, it should work just fine.I would use the hard shell and fill with ice. Good luck. I love mine.

I recommend you put the gasket on to the container prior to freezing. I found it can be hard to work with the frozen canister, but when it is room-temperature it is not an issue.

I wouldn't put it in the freezer !! I like my water extremely cold as well, so I put ice cubes in it and they are still there 8 hrs later !! This Klean Kanteen is one of the best things I have ever bought for myself. I use the small one for coffee and it stays piping hot for over 5 hours at a time. I am a flight attendant and coffee goes cold real quick in a cup so I take this on board with me and I know my coffee is going to be hot hours later even after I finish my flight and am on the way home.

No you can't. The way the bag is set up is those ice packs are sewn inside the bag all over from top to bottom and side to side. You just put it in the freezer overnight and it lasts all day unless it's 90 degrees or hotter than it doesn't last as long. But if I know it will be that hot I usually freeze my water or drinks then it does keep cold. It's great for student lunches!

I froze mine. It has special extra long lasting cubes in the gel and will stay ultra cold for an hour. You will freeze before it thaws.

Not a bag of ice but a freezer pack is OK.(you know, the hard shelled kind that have gel in them.)I freeze bottles of water and they cool it down quicker in the beginning. NEVER EVER let ice melt in it. It will ruin the motor.

If you are going to be gone for a length if time and you are in a lot if hear I would keep in the freezer. If you only out for a few hours and regular tempatures then the fridge would be fine.

It depends on how long you will be leaving the frozen items in the car. I live in a hot humid area and it takes me 20 min to get home from the store I have not used an ice pack and the cooler does a great job. If I have other stops to make I throw one in just in case. This bag so far does a great job keeping cold things cold even ice cream for at least 20-30 minutes no icepak

I would think you could...but I would pack the in an upright position, but that is is me and I might consider dry ice, I believe it is colder. It would also depend on the temp outside and will you be able to put them in a freeze when you arrive, before serving them.

Does not hurt to use frozen ice packs. I would not use regular ice as it is not water proof. I kept the items in the trunk ofy car and it did a good job keeping things cool with ice packs.

I have used this to go to the beach but you will need to pack it with alot of those rubbermaid blue ice packs. I have found things stay colder in those red and white "Igloo" or "Coleman" coolers but they are not as portable. Now I just keep these in my car to keep hot foods or cold foods on the way home fromthe store

I used half moon ice from my fridge, it's good but comes out like snow and makes the syrup hard to fall through iceBagged ice worked really well or carton ice, hope this helps :)

Mine had a chill pack that was shipped with it. I would still liked to have seen it insulated as I can see it sitting in the sun in the delivery truck with temperatures easily exceeding 84 degrees F. I threw the chill pack out so I don't know if it was a chemical endothermic type or not. If it was just frozen the latent heat of formation should carry it through one session of high heat early in the journey.

I send lunch with our daughter, and there is an ice pack with it. When she gets home, it is not still frozen- or cold for that matter. I pack her lunch at 8:30, and she gets home at 4:00. I am sure it keeps until 12:00, which is all I really need. May I suggest a small Igloo cooler, instead? I can say that it is a great, sturdy product. Easy to clean- no smelly cracks that don't clean well. I am very happy with it, and it will last for years.

Oh wow that is a long flight! !!! I travel and use ice for lower back .... I know--not quite same thing ..... what works best for me to keep ice bags & clay cold is: insulated bag, ice bags, clay bag & wide mouth insulated 24oz Polar water bottles. I fill "P-bottles" with water (allow for expansion) & freeze. All frozen stuff in picnic bag and add meds. None of the frozen stuff will last 30hours. ... you can get ice to re-fill Polar bottles ..... plus you will have steady supply of cold water. Hope this helps. Have good flight!!!! Lynda
