Evolutionize Meal Prep Insulated Lunch Bag Cooler Bag Patented Lunch Box includes Portion Control Meal Prep Containers and Ice Pack (3 Meal, Black)

Edit: As I previously stated I had been looking at this bag for a while. I jealously saw all of the reviews of people who received the bag at a discount. Earlier this summer I decided to pull the trigger and for the most part I was happy. I had a couple of small issues as documented below that I will leave for transparency. The owners contacted me to see if there was anything that they could do to address my concerns. They were very understanding and only cared about the satisfaction of the customer. As my case was a little different the decided it was best to send me a new bag and I am 100% happy with it. I am more inclined to believe that my experience was just a one off thing that happens from time to time.I also bought some more containers along with the ones that I received with the new bag and they all work great. I washed them 3 times so far and no spills. Although I do not recommend flipping your lunch box around all of these new ones seem to be passing the test. I for one though will most likely just hand wash them because now I have so many that I could probably do a load of dishes with just those things. I figure that will also extend the life of the containers anyways even though I have no real proof that using them in the dishwasher will hurt them. Also This bag can fit other plastic containers but it was made for the ones that came with it. I feel like you could get away with it but why? These containers are the perfect size and I would trust these a lot more in the microwave and such over the cheap ones you may buy in a grocery store.This really is a great bag. I will probably be buying my wife one now sometime around Christmas because she likes my bag more than the $100+ meal prep bag i bought her last Christmas :-( .I had been eyeing this for a while. I see most people in the reviews received a discount. I paid full price. After a month of use I have some pros and cons as to why I only gave 3 stars.Pros:-Looks great. I receive many compliments on the looks.-The extra strap is pretty cool to. I like the option.-The top compartment is very handy.-Keeps food cold. Seems to be insulated very well. I haven't put it to a rough test yet but for normal daily activity it has done the job.-Compact but efficient-Strong exteriorCons:-The zipper on the main pocket always gets stuck. This is the primary con for me. It catches the insulation on almost every zip. Whether it be zipping up the zipper or unzipping. I feel like the inner lining will not last long at this rate. (please note I also make a special effort the make sure this doesn't happen and sometime it still does.)-More of an annoyance really but when you have one of the straps connected to the sides you have to either unstrap the strap to easily unzip the zipper or just deal with it and maneuver the strap around as you unzip.Me being picky:-The containers don't really seem all that dishwasher safe to me. I washed them for the first week in dish washer and they all became warped within a couple uses. Now i just hand wash.-For someone coming from having a much larger box it doesn't seem like a lot of space. I am getting used to it though and you just have to pack efficiently.Overall the bag does the job and it serves the purpose. I am just not sure how long the front compartment will last me so I am unsure if I will repurchase another one or look elsewhere when this one wears down.

I have been using this bag every day since I bought it. The quality of the bag itself is very high. The outside is coated so you don't have to worry about it ripping.has two insulated compartments one on top of the other, I prefer the vertical meal bags over the horizontal ones.The bag came with meal prep containers and two ice packs (one for each compartment) that last a long time. I work 9 hours and the Ice packs are still frozen when I get home. as well as the compartments maintain cool temps all day long.The cup holder nets on both sides hold a massive bottle size. I use 40oz tumblers and sometimes larger sizes, hold them perfectly. 10/10 would recommend for anyone who is trying to get on track with caloric intake or meal prep.

*Edited* the company actually sent me an email just one day after I left my original review. They explained the reason for the strap placement was a conscious decision and sent me a new container since my first one was defective. So far none of the zipper ends have come off. I am highly impressed with the level of courtesy and professionalism the company exhibited. I also have to stress that for the size, this thing fits a lot of stuff.As others have mentioned, there is a strange design choice to have the straps attached to the flap needed to open to get to the main compartment. You have to unhook the straps or push them to the side if they are loose enough to open the flap. They straps aren't particularly difficult to hook and unhook but it is a slight inconvenience. On the top compartment, the zipper continually catches the insulation fabric on the inside. It looks like the way that it was seen causes the fabric to tilt toward the zipper and because it is on the inside and on a corner it is hard to see to fix and stop before it happens. Also, before I even had a chance to use the bag while I was inspecting it, the plastic/rubber grip came off of one of the zippers. Barely touched it. Doesn't give me high hopes for the durability of the bag.On the plus side, it's a pretty color and fits quite a bit. I already had some food prep containers but they are bigger than the ones that came with it but they still fit. I had the bag at my desk for an entire day with the frozen gel pack in it and by the time I got home over 12 hours later, the gel pack was still partially frozen.Overall I would buy it again.
