Does anyone have a 6Pack bag? and would you recommend it? Im away from home for usually 10 hours which makes it tough to get the proper nutrition in throughout the day. The 6 Packbags look like a good solution but they are expensive. Just hoping to get some reviews from some real world users before deciding to buy one.
Cheers

They look really cool but Canadian tire has similar size cooler bags for around $30, but they don't have all the cool compartments.

I have one and its sitting in a closet somewhere. I found it to wear out to quickly, I dont throw it around but Im also not the most gentle with it. I have the 3 meal one and its to small. The containers it comes with are tiny, so I just used my own containers but could only get two meals in it. The side pockets are nice but again to small as my shaker was to tall so I couldnt zip it closed (I would assume the 6 meal one wouldnt have this issue). The dividers broke within the first week of owning it as they are made of very thing plastic.

I think if I had the 6 meal one it would be great but 100 bucks for a lunch box, no thanks. I have my coolmate (or whatever its called) that fits everything and then some for 30 bucks

thanks for the responses....On impulse I went to my local Gorilla Jack Supplements today just to "have a look". hahahaha. Ended up buying the three meal bag. I have the short stubby protein shakers so the pocket size isn't an issue for me. At a glance it seems like it will be big enough....guess ill find out tomorrow...Keep you guys posted.

Cheers!

Thanks for the review LB.

I wouldn't mind having a look at one before i buy it too. Its one thing to see a pic. of it, another to actually hold it and give it a good once over.

I got one for Christmas and it's great. I'm not overly rough with it and seems to be holding up alright. There are a couple spots where the silver insulation lining is starting to come off/peel. Also, if you constantly carried it by the handle it could become troublesome as it pulls on the zipper. Compartments are handy though. I just recently saw another lunch back called the IsoBag. Same basic idea, little bit different and comes with double the containers which is a big bonus. Have not tried it but might if/when my 6pack bag wears out.

After several 6-pack bags tearing I'm switching to the Isolator Bag. I should have it tomorrow. I'll let you know what it's like.

Faller - they're available in Canada now. Just talk to your local supplement shop or order from one of CBB's sponsors. If they don't have them in ask them to carry the bags.

Bag is pretty nice. The quality is light years ahead of the 6-pack bag. Comes with freezer packs and containers. I swapped out the containers for new ones I bought at Canadian Tire. I did the same with the 6-pack. However, the 6-pack now come with better quality containers. Maybe Isolator will follow suit. The Isolator gives you more containers. The Isolator Bag is a bit smaller - I can get about 3-4 meals in it. Also, does not come with a pill pack like the 6-pack does - I think I will grab one a the buck store. Overall I like the Isolator bag - especially since it looks like it will last longer - ask me in 6 months for more feedback about how it stays together but looking at it I am confident that it will last longer than the 6-pack.

If you have a 6 pack bag and there is an issue with it wearing prematurely, talk to your retailer as the parent company is outstanding in the support of their product. The initial bag was having lots of issues and were replaced without question free of charge and recently, I advised a friend who had the revised model and had an issue...spoke to retailer and replaced right away.

Big plug here for sponsor Canadian Research Supplies who sell lots of these and incredibly easy to deal with.... and obviously have the supplier behind them.

We have 2 and would not hesitate to buy this product again as we know it is 100% backed.

I'm curious to see how long those ice packs last through the day, they look kinda small. I guess a guy can always switch to those blue hard shelled ones.

My 6 pack bag recently fell apart too. Pissed as they are not cheap.

Love in the iso bag so far! Those little ice packs actually last quite a while, mind you its not smokin hot out right now but its definitely doing the trick at the moment. I actually like size of the containers that come with it, I can see them not working for someone as big as Sean, but i'm a lot smaller and they seem to be just perfect for me.. Here's prayin the pack has staying power lol.
