I need a lunch jar for my 10 year old son. Does this carrying bag look too feminine?

Not at all. My daughter doesn't like it because it isn't girly :) the jar also fits in most soft lunch bags.

Well, it's definitely not macho. But I think it's the bag that's the problem. If he pulled the jar out of his backpack and proceeded to break it down into its component parts, that might be seen as pretty cool. (Full disclosure, I haven't been 10 in many, many years so my idea of cool may no longer apply.)

My son's 12 yrs old and that's the 1st question I asked and he said no. My son's an athlete and at this age, appearance is very important. He uses it mostly everyday for lunch to school and he's in 8th grade. He's female classmates and friends all thinks its cool. Best part, it keeps he's hot food hot and cold sandwiches cold. Totally recommended.

As I see it is a male thing. Grey, steel. My 9 years old son wants mine since I've bought it))

It's actually pretty gender neutral imo. I bought it and no one has said anything negative about it. The zippers/closures are actually red on mine. Or at least no one has said to me that they're pink.

In my personal opinion it seems more like a woman's item to carry around. Even if it was black or brown I'd still say the same thing.

My daughter and I think you should not have a problem putting a lunch in the X part of the case it. The X is very stretchy due to it's elastic bottom attachment.

Definitely! My 3 year old is long out of diapers and I still use this bag because it holds so much, it's functional, and still looks good! Will hold sneakers and more!

I'm a guy and I have this bag...I've not gotten any comments about it looking like a purse. I think the shoulder pad and size clearly separates it from the purse category. It's far less purse like than in the photos. I also carry mine cross shoulder so it's even less like a purse and more comfortable to carry. I don't know that it can be mistaken for a purse any more than any bag that a man would carry, except for a briefcase or the large square traditional camera case, which in my opinion screams "snatch/steal me as you ride by on your bike!" My best advice is simply carry a brick in the slot next to the camera and if someone some dude says "nice purse" smack the crap out of them with the bag...the ensuing concussion should give him a good reason to think before he says anything similar in the future. Finally, since you won't be pairing it with high heels, I really think you'll be fine. :-) Of course I'm teasing you a bit, but seriously, I wondered the same thing but now think it's fine and not very purse-like in person.

I use a regular size lunch bag, like one from Target - Barbie for kids. If you are looking for the big size - you can buy dual compartment lunch kit bag Embark Pink Leopard Print Dual Compartment Lunch Kit With Food Container or just decent size Chevron Lunch Bag Black White Hot Pink Fuchsia Insulated bag

I'd think it looks more like a backpack or messenger bag, but probably depends on the way you carry it. It can either ride up on the back, or hang fairly even at the hip. Unless you are a giant, it won't look dainty. I certainly wouldn't think it weird for a guy to wear. If you are worried though, you might try this one: Docooler Caden K1 Waterproof Fashion Casual DSLR Camera Bag Case Messenger Shoulder Bag for Canon Nikon Sony (Army Green)

I think it would be ok, the bag is roomy and well paded. Price could also drive your decision. Its not fashion.

I purchased this bag as a gift for my niece to carry her art supplies in and it was the perfect size for that. I do think it would be too big to use as a lunch bag only. A standard size laptop could fit in it but I don't think I would use it for that either because the computer would probably be too heavy for the material the bag is made out of. Hope that helps.

It's pretty unisex. If he's got a great sense of style, it'd be best, but there's no reason why it shouldn't be able to go both ways. It's a laptop bag, after all, in a newsprint. I'm not really seeing the femininity or masculinity in it at all. It just IS.Hope that helps!

It's a quality bag, but it moves a bit when my 10 year-old goes to town on it. Were I to buy today, I'd get the adult version from the same manufacturer.

I don't have kids but my 34 year old boyfriend will use it to go to work. It is definitely 'boy' colors and it's a neat lunchbox and isn't girly at all so I think it would make the 'cool' list for back to school. Also so far haven't had any leak/spill issues with what I've put in it. I did find regular size silverware doesn't fit... Maybe small size plastic would work and it is fairly big for a lunchbox. When I take this to work I use it for lunch and pretty much all my snacks for the day as an adult.

Sorry it's taken so long for me to answer this for you. I would not purchase this item for a boy - I think it's girly because it is pink.

Honestly I just looked up pink computer cars when I found mine!! Good luck it is a cute bag.

I have the navy blue one. It's more like a small lunch box. As a female, I would say it's a little too boxy and the details on the sides to hold a water bottle keep it from looking like a purse!

I purchased this for my daughter, though I bought the blue version. If you stay away from the more feminine colors, it should be fine for a boy.
