I'm confused about the desigh as well...isn't it awkward to have things in the mesh bag and unzip the cooler?

I've only put small items in the mesh section - like plastic utensils & napkins & ketchup packets. It works for my uses!

I actually cut the mesh bag off and then the cooler works perfectly. The mesh was in the way to me

In my opinion, the bag is not suitable for that purpose. It also does not stand up on its own, which would make it easier to use.

I think they are for snapping the bag to the two other layers in the 3 bag system this bag is part of. Could be wrong, but that's my best guess.

Yup! That cooler is by Rubbermaid but its more like made for Hardcore abuses!!It's like a little SAFE to protect fragile and sensitive items!!

With the proper clothing these fans will go down to as cold as you would ever possibly need. They are designed to be used in the coldest climates alongside the extreme cold weather clothing system. I know of guys have use the system and literally woken up buried in snow and then sweating. Personally, I live in the Southeast and never have to use the black bag.

Why do you need to protect a bottle inside your fridge? Also, I would not leave it in there, very little air gets inside that bag.

Yes. It might still be heavy to tote in a bag. Unlike a solid cooler with a grab handle. The insulated bag will help keep your food cold longer.

When you use the cooler for the bottles that comes with it, there's not a whole lot of extra room but I thought it was fine. You can fit a box of pump and save bags, pump bra, burp cloth and some pacifiers, just to give you an idea.

There are 3 triangular pieces to use it as a backpack. One is on the top edge, the others are on the back near each bottom corner. The cooler can still be closed when the strap is going through the top triangle and the ends are hooked into the lower triangles.

I agree with the other responses...it it really geared towards serving as a laptop checkpoint bag. Not a lot of add'l space for clothing, but it isn't made for that either. I have loved how I do not have to remove my laptop from the bag going through security.

Well, I can only say that you must not have closed it up completely. When I zip the bottom all the way to the right and the top, over and then back down, the two zips come together. I know they don't lock but you could put a paper clip through the two zip heads, like I do on my luggage when I travel by air. I don't clip my two zips together, I just zip them all the way. Moisture doesn't even come in. I love my YardStach II and have had "0" problems with it now for over a year.Denny Swen.....

It's to hide cables. If you have cables going all over the place it impedes the airflow and cooling in the case.

It's not all mesh. The bottom of the bag has a hard plastic. So far I like the bag.

To be honest, I've had to struggle with the main compartment zippers of the main compartment when the cooler is full (I NEVER overfill the cooler). The zippers have never totally failed, though. I'd escalate back to the company and ask for a replacement.

It just doesn't come with the backpack or the cooler bag. It's the same exact pump. If you get the backpack, it's attached in the bottom with Velcro, so you could still take it out, but if you don't feel like spending over $100 more on an ugly black vinyl backpack and cooler, this is great. Get a cute bag for it and a free cooler bag from similac.

It took several attempts before we got it right. We took the top (after unzipping it) and folded it, then the floor. I can't tell you exactly how we folded it. Just keep trying. It was a struggle to get it in the bag/case without help. Don't give up. You can do it.
