There is also two side handles and a handle on top. The strap is removable, which is also a nice feature. There’s also a MOLLE bottle opener, made completely of stainless and corrosion-resistant steel, which does come in handy, especially after work. Perhaps the coolest feature is the MOLLE Zinger, a retractable 36-inch lanyard that allows you to attach keys or tools to the bag. The next is the HitchPoint Grid, similar in some ways to a MOLLE webbing which allows attachment for a carabiner or anything that can hook onto the bag. This is useful for tying the box down when you’re on rugged terrain and don’t want the lunch box flopping around. There are also some really cool additional features on this lunch box that aren’t entirely necessarily, but really add to the usefulness of the lunch box. Additionally, it is 100% leakproof so even if your ice melts, it’s not going to leak out of the lunch box. It also features an FDA food grade liner that is resistant to mold, mildew and bacteria. On cooler days or days that are less sunny, it’ll keep your food cold for 8-12 hours. The ice or icepack inside will last about 7-8 hours with this insulation when left out in the hot sun. The inside also featured what YETI calls “ColdCell Insulation.” This is a closed-cell foam that is on both the sides and the base of the lunch cooler. The actual inside dimensions are 6 1/4” × 7 1/2” × 9 3/4”. If you mix an appropriate amount of ice or an ice pack with the cooler, you’ll be able to hold a few packs of ice and about six cans. of ice but that’s if it’s filled completely with ice and nothing else. Inside there is enough room to hold up to eight cans of beer ( or soda for work) and hence why it’s named the “Flip 8.” It’ll also hold up to 10 lbs. In fact, the outside material is similar to the material that is used on white water rafts, just to give you an idea of how durable the exterior really is. It’s even resistant to UV light so it won’t get damaged or fade if you leave it out in the sun ( though on a long enough time line it eventually will). The exterior of the lunch box is also resistant to abuse such as punctures or abrasions, making it great for the jobsite. The exterior also resists mold and mildew after it gets wet. The DryHide shell is named as such because it is waterproof and stays dry when it’s exposed to water or rain, and keeps from getting saturated on even the dampest of days. Also, it has a lot of room inside the lunch box but isn’t so bulky that you’d get sick of lugging it to work every day. The main reason is because of this lunch boxes DryHide Shell as well as its superior insulation. The YETI Hopper Flip 8 is the most appropriate lunch box YETI makes to bring to work, especially if you work on the jobsite. These lunch boxes are listed in order from best to worst, although you cannot go wrong with any of these lunch boxes because both of these brands build lunch boxes tough enough for any type of job. We’ll start with YETI and move to Carhartt. Let’s look at the best YETI and Carhartt lunch boxes for work. This makes it much more practical for work or for the jobsite.īut, anyhow, enough delaying. And although the Carhartt brand is popular and might be swiped, it is much less likely to be stolen as compared to Yeti. In fact, Carhartt’s Deluxe Lunch Bag is featured in our article on the best lunch boxes for construction workers.
Many of these lunch bags are designed specifically for work or the jobsite. The only issue to be wary of is theft, as anything with “YETI” on it is likely to be snatched the moment you turn your back.Ĭarhartt, in comparison, has a great selection of lunch bags. That said, they do have a few lunch boxes that make sense to take to work on a regular basis. Most of their products are large coolers that are best suited for the campsite. Keeping that in mind, Yeti does not make a ton of lunch coolers that are small enough to bring to work. Carhartt, on the other hand, has been around since 1889 but I don’t know anyone who has a Carhartt lunch box that lasted for 13 years (however, their coats and coveralls do last this long). In fact, although Yeti has only been around 13 years, most Yeti products have lasted as long as the company. A good rule of thumb when looking for a Yeti or a Carhartt lunch box is that Yeti is really expensive but will last you much longer and Carhartt is cheaper but not as durable. YETI and Carhartt are the most popular brands when it comes to lunch boxes and lunch coolers.
