Isolator Fitness ISOJUG Insulated One Gallon Water Jug Holder with ISOBRICK and Shoulder Strap -MADE IN USA (Blackout)

Why did I buy this?I've been looking for a gallon container that was easy to carry. Yes, I've been searching online, gas stations and around everywhere for something to make me happy. I happened upon this when I was looking at Meal Prep accessories. The only containers I find are the regular 99 cent plastic containers. They're hard to carry around with it's small handle, tend to warm up quickly, and look tacky.First Impressions:- This is smaller than I was expecting. I was expecting it to be larger.- The handle is comfortable for my hands. Easily better than a gallon jug's handle.- The handle seemed to have been molded into the strap. So it's not budging around.- The inside has plastic coating. I presume for easy clean up and drying. Afterall, that gallon jug will be sweating.- The Foam "Ice Brick" keeps its shape at room temperature. There's a spot for two of them, on either side.- The other pouch is great for you phone. Don't kid yourself thinking you'll have a lot of spare room in here, because it's going to be a tight fit. My iPhone 6+ can get 2/3 in the pouch.It seems to be a study build, and overall I like the look of this.Using:1) At first, It's pretty hard to get the gallon jug into the bag. The trick is to maneuver the bottom in first, and then shimmy the top-end in.2) It keeps the water shockingly cold, especially with the two ice packs in.3) Without freezing the water, or freezing the ice blocks - the jug itself keeps water below room temperature (80 degrees) for over 6 hours.4) Carrying water is so much easier.5) I drink the water with the flap opened, and further sealing the top off from loosing cold.6) I find myself using this water for everything and all throughout the day7) The gallon container refuses to move around inside The Jug. It's a second skin.How do you know this is right for you?1) Do you enjoy shockingly cold drinks throughout the day?2) Do you excuse not drinking water because it's not cold?3) Do you excuse not drinking water because it's from the fountain?July 20 2016 Edit:It still keeps the container cold during 90+ degrees days. I've stopped putting ice blocks in the sides as they tend to crunch the sides of the gallon container a bit. I've definitely been drinking a lot more water throughout the days. I've had to buy more gallon jugs to keep up!I don't have small hands and I don't wear gloves at the gym, so I love the wide, comfortable grip. Just grab and go. No one else has one, but that's okay. While everyone piling up at the water fountain, I can enjoy a cold one where I am.I've stopped putting my phone in the side of the jug. It's just too tight. I've since used it for small flavor packets for my shaker bottles. When i'm in the mood for something tasty, I can take one out and use it.The only regret I have is that I didn't know about this sooner.

I LOVE this! I am a nanny by day, and in the gym every night working toward pretty substantial weight loss. I try to drink between a gallon to a gallon and a half of water a day so carrying a jug helps keep the visual and stay on track. It gets pretty hot pretty fast where I live and with two kids, it can get a little overwhelming carrying a bunch of stuff so this helps a ton! It stays cold all day! The provided ice packs aren't the gel kind, making them less susceptible to leaking. The inside compartment for the jug, and ice pack pockets are all lined with clear plastic for easy clean ups. The mesh pocket fits my keys, headphones, lifting straps, and phone. During the day it's perfect for trips to the park with the kids and the added shoulder strap is incredibly handy. I had considered other products with similar concepts but they are essentially partial koozies with a piece of mesh. This is high quality and made in the USA. I don't leave home with out it now,

This is what I needed. Working 13-14hrs a day between an ambulance, a SUV, and the office. This let's me kee plenty of cold water around. My consumption has gone way up. Isolator Fitness always makes good products, this seems to have better zippers then my first gen cooler. There is just enough room if you want to add an ice pack to the bottom, really snug but it helps for sitting on the hot floor.

going to the gym without this thing is like leaving the house without clothes. I've had this thing for about two years now, maybe longer. It has held up nicely; extremely durable. I've washed in the washer about 5 times and let it air dry. Still as black as day one. And people ask me about it all the time. you'll see people with imitator jugs but none as cool and durable as this one.

I love this thing !!! It keeps my water cool all day with the ice packs !!! I don't understand the 1 star from the other review...my one gallon milk jug fits perfectly and actually isn't hard to stuff into the sleeve...anyway if you drink a ton of water like I do then you'll love this thing !!! Doesn't hold my wallet or iPhone 6+ in the sides but that's why my gym shorts have pockets !!! Awesome product !!!

Very nice case but they have changed the product from other reviews I have read! There is no zip up or cover for the cap, so buyer beware. Other than that the strap is comfortable and makes it easy to carry. Large pocket on one side- I can put my keys, cellphone and weight lifting gloves in it. The ice pack goes in the bottom and the gallon jug sits on top. Mine fit easily and zipped right up!

i always carry a gallon of water with me everywhere so this makes it much better. It keeps the water cold and even if you don't want to use the ice packs it has some very useful pockets so you can keep your keys and wallet in them when you're at the gym and don't have to worry about them.

This jug is basically my baby, I carry it everywhere I go. I get complimented at the gym with the water jug, and people ask me where I get it. Definitely worth it if you're always out on the go, the quality is great. Get it, you won't regret it.
