How does packit work

Expect shorter cooling power in warm environments, particularly during the summer months. You can extend the cooling power of your PackIt by filling it with foods and drinks that are already frozen. A frozen PackIt is not optimal for a hot thermos. However, an unfrozen PackIt will insulate and keep hot items warm.

They are not insulated, air-tight, or contain other conventional features found on most coolers. Instead, the bag itself is a cold source. Depending on the size and environment, one can expect the bag to perform for up to 10 or 12 hours. After that, they will need to be refrozen or a more standard way of cooling will need to be implemented.

One pro to this is that opening and closing the bag will have little effect on that cooling performance since the cold is emitting from the bag itself and not necessarily strictly from inside.

The rate of warmth the bag will experience will be pretty consistent whether opened or closed. These bags are quite small and as such extremely mobile. This can significantly cut down the overall weight of the bag and make it easier to carry.

Can I keep hot food or a hot thermos in my PackIt? A frozen PackIt is not optimal for a hot thermos. However, an unfrozen PackIt will insulate and keep hot items warm. Cooling Technology PackIt is the smartest and simplest way to keep food and drinks cool anywhere. The secret is a special freezable gel built into the walls of the bag. Simply store the entire bag in the freezer overnight. Once the bag is frozen, its walls generate waves of cold air that chill your food and drinks from all sides.

No ice packs needed. Best of all, it folds up for compact storage in your freezer and is ready to go when you are. Hand wash the interior of your PackIt with mild soap and warm water or wipe thoroughly with an all-purpose antibacterial wipe. You can spot clean the exterior with a gentle sponge. But do they really work that well, or are they just a gimmick that leaves you better off brown bagging it? They say that the gel that goes inside of it is eco-friendly and patented.

But with the state of the economy it makes sense that more and more people that have jobs are bringing their lunch rather than going through the expense of finding a place to eat every day. Evaluation The the design on a PackIt is pretty basic, and it looks like an assuming lunch bag. Their claim that you can keep your leftovers from lunch cool enough to take home at the end of the day might be pushing it, but many users report that it does keep the food nice and cold for lunchtime.
