We compared two insulated lunch bags: the Lifewit 9L Insulated Lunch Bag and the Thermos Radiance 4L Insulated Lunch Bag.
What we looked at
Capacity, insulation claims, lining, and price.
The verdict
If you want more space, up to 12 cans or a full lunch, the Lifewit 9L is the pick at £11.99, with a huge review history. If you would rather carry a compact bag from a well-known flask brand at the same £11.99, the Thermos Radiance 4L is the alternative.
A £11.99 9L bag that fits about 12 cans and keeps contents cool or warm for 4.5+ hours.
A £11.99 compact 4L bag with Isotec insulation and a wipe-clean lining.
