Digital gear needs protection from excessive heat when working in summer weather. For these conditions, you may want to use a thermal bag to keep your gear from overheating. I like this eBags Crew Cooler because it has a second compartment on top where you can put your cool items, yet keep them separate from your gear in the insulated bottom compartment.
There are plenty of zippered pockets for accessories, dual handles, shoulder strap, and lots of storage (15 x 8.5 x 10.5 inches), yet the Crew Cooler only weighs 2 pounds.
The eBag isn't cheap ($39.99 on Amazon), but if you want a professional insulated bag that's also good for food storage, then it's worth the investment.

Last fall I tried this idea to get a cheap camera bag for my young son's new point and shoot. We found a small lunch bag/backpack. (Had to be a backpack or he'd put it down and forget it.) Works great!
I was actually thinking about how some of these insulated bags would be cool (ha ha) as knock-around camera bags in general. Thanks for sharing your thoughts here Avlor.
I think I may have to try this. I take my lunch EVERY day and this could make taking my camera to work VERY easy :)
Thanks for the tip..

I bought the bag and I have to say it is working out very well. I used the bottom section for my camera and extra lens. I did feel some additional protection was needed for the camera. I was able to line the bottom of the bag with foam to add protection and keep the camera from rolling around. My lunch fits nicely in the top section :)
Hopefully I can find time to post a review with pictures somewhere. It is a VERY well made bag....
Hey, I would like to know what's the name of your blogs theme you're using or is it custom design? Thanks!
I admire the valuable information you offer in your articles. I will bookmark your blog and have my children check up here often. I am quite sure they will learn lots of new stuff here than anybody else!
Your blog is perfect, and I like this article. I find the information I need. I think I can find more useful information here, thanks.
If i could only put up a blog that looks as good as yours (sigh... I just can't), wonderful!
I really enjoyed reading your thoughts, apparently you know what are you talking about! Your site is so simple to use too, I’ve bookmarked all of it in my folder :-D
I really don't understand why anyone would disagree with that. I think that sounds like it is something to look more closely at. I feel sometimes alot of people can be pretty narrow minded when it comes that. Well thats all for now, look forward to more post and information.. Talk to you guys later.
