Has anyone put foam insulation on the inside between the frame and panels? I see it is cold to the touch, seems more efficient to put foam inbetween rather than buy the bag?

Give it a try and post your results. I doubt it has been done before. I'm sure most people are afraid to tear apart a $700 cooler.

i agree with prior responses. but i would put some padding around it still. Foam sheet perhaps... best thing for me is water tight. Don't get me wrong I won't put it in a tub of water but in the rain it works out well. It's pretty big. I packed a week's worth of cloths and everything i needed for one week in DR in a privet beach house.

Not too good. It's not waterproof, so there's no extra insulation to it. Let in a breeze pretty well too. Might want a good sleeping bag depending on how cold you're talking

It gets warm quickly. There's no insulation. I wore a padded bra under mine and vodka out of the freezer. I had to alter mine to fit the right way too though and was able to fit it that way.

It needs to be wrapped in insulation, or else to much of the heat will escape and it won't work as effectively. It also says to then wrap it in with a moisture barrier to keep it dry. I wrapped this one with fiberglass 'cause it's on an exposed p-trap that freezes if it gets too cold. But I also have a long run of pex that is wrapped with the slit foam and that works great.

If you need it 'cool' rather than maintained at a specific temperature, you'll be fine. If worried, add a small pack of dry ice. As a matter of interest though, I find that checking this sort of thing into the hold is better as the cabin is warmed while the hold is colder in my experience. Also your clothes are added insulation!

Hi there. I bought this bag and have been drying it in the dryer on cold days and it works just fine. No damage.

The storage bag has a cut out at the back and heats up in the bag itself. I was worried at first about it possibly melting, but it doesn't.

it depends on if your bag will include ice in it....they got great insulation used it on my run to bikefest on the island...lol enjoy

It's an outter green bag, and they go together. In my opinion, having slept in both on a porch in 30-degree weather to test out the claim, it is unsuited for zero degrees in every way. I'm small and female, and I didn't use a sleeping pad, but I was shivering too hard to stay out after midnight in a mere 30F.

There is a thin fleece lining on the inside. I used it in the summer time with no problems.

We did not put the foam back on as it did not last very long at all with our humid weather and ice cold in winter. So far the net is fine without it. I will say the zipper is already broke but it came with three hooks to close the opening as well and we just use those.

My bean bag was not that smelly, and I did not have the same issue you had. i have read you can take the foam out of the bag and wash the cover, that should help. Also, the more you "fuf it", the less it will smell.

I had the wine cooler installed in a 15" x 33.5" space formerly occupied by an ice maker in a bar that is located in my living room. The cooler is much less noisier than I anticipated; thus, no need for insulation. I would be reluctant to add insulation because you want air to circulate around the appliance.

If I remember right, I had to disassemble the frame by grinding down and punching out a couple rivets, then, I was able to feed the frame through the opening in the bag. There's a little channel sewn in the top of the bags to accept the frame. It's been a few years so my memory is a little foggy. Could be just bolted together ... but I seem to recall dealing with rivets. YMMV.

I have used it for several months for sawdust and have not used the bag provided. I did keep the foam provided, in case I ever use it in a wet situation.

I insulated mine not only for minimizing heat loss but also for protection from damage. I used slit foam. Because of inexperience I had a problem using pressurized foam sealant where the insulation was cut to acommadate pipe fittings and clips. Not a pretty sight
