What type of ice pack is recommended? Why would you carry a Frio wallet too?

The case comes with two ice packs, but because they are a little smaller than what comes with my insulin, I use the latter. It really depends on how long you will be away from your home and how hot the weather is. Boston in winter vs. summer in Phoenix in summer brings a lot of different requirements. My case has worked well in 100 deg temps for six plus hours. Sorry, but I do not know what a Frio wallet is. Good luck.

I recently used the dry pak for my phone, my ID, some cash and a few credit cards while on a small boat fishing. My wallet would not fit in the pack with a phone. Your wallet might if its small and thin.

I got both. the cooling wallet is what will keep the insulin cool. In my opinion it could be use by it self, but is a bit floppy not much room for insulin and syringes, but he could make it work. I use the case to hold everything.. even my test kit. Im thinking you could get one then add the case if needed. I use mine only when I go overnight somewhere. hope this is helpful

I will agree with that no. If you add ice, you will not have room for anything else. You might try a small bit of dry ice. But that is a little overdoing it. To keep things really cold with dry ice try a cardboard box.

Don't buy any ice pack from Amazon, they melt too quick. I would go to target or an actual camping store to buy the ice packs.

Most dry ice is sold in styrofoam, plastic particularly is really brittle when super cold. I pre chill mine before a multi day day trip and it stays pretty cold. If you were looking to keep dry ice from evaporating I'd get a steel Colman from cabellas and prime it with regular ice first.

They're the best ice packs I've ever used. Because they're small, it's easy to pack them strategically in order to keep food/drinks cold. I ordered a box of 48, and only use half in a large chest. You won't be disappointed.

If I'm packing can soda's I'd use loose ice. If it's sandwiches andfried chicken I'd use packs. I usually put an ice cream bucket withice from my refrig.

I just stick one of those blue ice packs in the mesh pocket in carrying case. And I don't know if it helps much but I keep the carrying case in the freezer (when I remember). I've tried putting the stainless steel case in the fridge to pre-chill it, but that makes it sweat. I've heard of people packing it the night before and putting it in the fridge, but maybe that's a different climate (it's humid here). I haven't tried it because I'm afraid it would make a sandwich soggy. The ice pack works great though.

Yes, an ice pack. There is a mesh holder for one on the inside lid of the carrying case. PlanetBox sells their own line of ice pack, but any of the rectangular ones will work fine.

Yes, definitely. We used the travel case with Frio pouch for a trip to hot Puerto Rico and it worked great. (We bought two Frios so that we could keep one going all the time.) We liked it so much we now use it all the time at home to carry our son's insulin pen and other equipment.

Thank you for your question. This particular wallet is designed to carry either one insulin injection pen or two 10 ml vials. Here is a link to a different picture: http://www.diabetesfrio.com/frio-individual-wallet/prod_239.htmlWarmest,Dorsey D.ActiveForever

I take broccoli, celery, grapes, etc in my lunch almost every day and never use a fridge. If you use one or several ice packs you shouldn't have a problem. I recommend the "lunch box" brand of containers. They fit in here perfectly.

Unfortunately no, but the matching bento bag is insulated so you wouldn't need an ice pack
