Backpacks That Keep Your Lunch and Drinks Cold all Day at Work

Nutrition experts agree that packing your own lunch is healthier than purchasing restaurant food every day. Bringing lunch from home also saves you money. But you need to keep your lunch fresh during your commute. Moreover, dealing with the office refrigerator can be contentious. Coolers insulate your lunch until you have time to eat it, but they?re not incredibly convenient.

An insulated backpack is much more versatile. It can hold much more than your lunch. Plus, a backpack is suitable for travel. When you?re not working, you can use the backpack to hold drinks and snacks for your weekend activities.

The following insulated backpacks are the best for the office and beyond.
