where can you find back pacs with built in coolers? I have never heard of them.
We bought one years ago at a Bass outlet. It was on a big pile of clearance bags and was the only one they had. We just thought it was a cool bag and then we took it to Disney in 2000. It was awesome because we were able to pack sandwiches and drinks (the cooler part is a good size - we could fit at least 2-3 sandwiches, 2 water bottles, and 2 cans of soda plus one of those small blue ice blocks) and have lunch in the parks without having to buy anything (we were on a very tight budget). The bottom is the cooler part and the top is just a mesh bag so it it won't protect your stuff if there is rain but its fabulous for the beach because the sand just falls out. It is starting to wear some but we were able to use it again this past summer at the Jersey shore. We hadn't taken it on our last 2 Disney trips because we had a sling type diaper bag for our DS and it had a very small insulated compartment at the bottom (we could fit 2 water bottles there) however it didn't keep the drinks nearly as cool as the Bass bag. We got the diaper bag at Target in 2006.
