Bag with cooler compartment and uses thereof

Abstract

The present invention provides a bag with a cooler compartment that can store perishable food or medicinal items with generous storage compartments in the interior and on the exterior front, back and sides of the bag. The cooler compartment is lined with thermal plastic lining to maintain cool temperature and is easily washable to clean up after spills. The cooler compartment is flexible and can be increased in size to accommodate larger items. Security features have been added to the bag, so that valuables can be carried safely in the padded exterior back compartments. All exterior and interior compartments feature quick access and ease of use through the use of double-headed zippers, which allow opening of the compartments in either direction. The bag can be worn on the back and is secured there by two padded shoulder straps, which individually have a hook for keys and a mesh pocket for a cell phone for added convenience. Another embodiment of the bag with a cooler compartment is smaller in size and has an adjustable shoulder strap for easier carrying. The cooler compartment is lined with washable thermal plastic lining. The cooler compartment is flexible and can be increased in size to accommodate larger items. Four exterior compartments are provided, of which one is a mesh pocket and three are zippered compartments. The interior compartment is zippered and has two additional storage compartments to further organize the interior area.
