Picnic Bag Buyer’s Guide
Picnic bags suffer from a bit of a misnomer as a padded, insulated bag has so many other possible uses, not just for delivering the food for a picnic. Handy for transporting food home from the supermarket, dropping off groceries to friends and family or picking up a takeaway, this is one essential piece of kitchen kit you won’t want to be without.

Capacity
Most picnic bags hover around the 20-litre or 30-litre mark. A 30-litre bag will accommodate a lot of food or drinks and will be pretty heavy when full. Sometimes two smaller bags are easier to manage particularly if you are carrying them a fair distance.
Design
Opt for a rucksack style or the traditional square design with a top zip. The square picnic bags are easier to stack food in but they are harder work to carry, particularly if they are heavy.
Check out the features because you may require pockets for additional items like cutlery, napkins and other bits and pieces.
Most picnic bags fold flat for easy storage when not in use so there really is no excuse not to have one tucked away in your cupboard.
Portability
The main thing about portability is how far you have to carry the bag and whether your preference is over the shoulder, by hand or on your back. Most of the square shape picnic bags offer a choice of carrying handles and a detachable shoulder strap.
