In detail: Campingaz Fold'N Cool Foldable Soft Cooler Bag
The Campingaz Fold'N Cool soft cooler bag meets a different need from rigid compression or passive coolers: light, foldable transport suited to short outings rather than long stays requiring several days of cold retention. Its ripstop fabric structure, lined with 6 mm closed-cell insulating foam, effectively holds the cold from a Freez'Pack for the length of a picnic or a journey of a few hours.
This listing offers the bag in two sizes, 5 and 10 litres, two compact formats designed for individual use or for two people rather than a whole family over several days. Its light weight, around 390 grams empty for the 10-litre model, and its adjustable shoulder strap make it a particularly practical companion for trips on foot, by bike or on public transport, where a rigid cooler would prove cumbersome.
This portability is also appreciated for carrying fresh groceries from the supermarket home, especially on the hottest summer days, or for bringing a meal to the office without dedicating a separate bag to it. Once empty, the bag folds completely flat, so it can be stored in a drawer or suitcase without taking up the space an equivalent rigid cooler would require the rest of the year.
The trade-off for this lightness is expected: insulating power remains lower than a rigid cooler's over time, especially in prolonged high heat or direct sun exposure, and the soft structure protects the contents less well from knocks. The Fold'N Cool cooler bag is therefore perfectly suited to regular short-term use, a picnic in the park, a meal at the office, an afternoon at the beach or a car trip of a few hours, rather than an extended camping stay.

Our tester's verdict: Gilles Caron
Handy for outings where a rigid cooler would be cumbersome: this Campingaz bag has followed us on picnics, bike rides and fresh grocery runs on foot in hot weather. The padded shoulder strap sits comfortably even when loaded, and folding flat once empty is a real plus for storage, unlike a rigid cooler that keeps its bulk all year round. Cold retention stays decent for two to three hours with a Freez'Pack, but drops faster than an equivalent rigid cooler if the bag is left in direct sun. The size choice (5 or 10 litres) lets you match the format to the use: the small model for a meal or two, the 10-litre for an outing with several people. For regular short-term use, it's an honest, affordable buy, as long as you don't expect the performance of a rigid passive cooler over a full day.
Frequently asked questions: Campingaz Fold'N Cool Foldable Soft Cooler Bag
The 5-litre suits a meal or two drinks for one person, while the 10-litre lets you bring enough for an outing with two or three people. For family use over several hours, the Fold'N Cool range from Campingaz also comes in 20 and 30 litres.
No, a soft bag's insulation stays more limited over time than a rigid passive cooler: expect a few hours of coolness with a Freez'Pack versus 20 hours or more for an equivalent rigid cooler. In return, the bag is much lighter and folds flat when empty.
Yes, the polyethylene/EVA lined interior cleans easily with a damp sponge and a little soap. It's best left open to dry before folding it back up to avoid damp odours.
