02 What decides it
Choosing between these PASMAN bags
The base compartment is the part to measure before you buy. It runs about six inches of clear height, which is a standard glass container standing upright with its lid clipped on, with room for a can beside it. Lay a container on its side to save space and you have undone the reason the tray is lined. It opens on its own zip from the front, so the lunch comes out without opening the compartment the laptop is in.
Above it, the laptop wall takes a 15.6-inch machine and the middle section holds whatever a day needs on top. Capacities here run from 20 to 22 litres, and the difference between them is depth rather than height: the cooler tote is the squarest and the puffer lunch tote the softest. Every one of them works as a plain work tote with the tray left empty, which is what most of them do three days out of five.

An insulated compartment slows a lunch down. It does not refrigerate it. Federal guidance is specific about the numbers. Bacteria that cause food poisoning multiply quickest between 40 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit. Perishable food should not sit out of refrigeration for more than two hours, and no more than one hour once it has been above 90. The agencies also say what holds the line, and it is not the bag on its own. For a packed lunch they name two things together: an insulated bag, and at least two cold sources such as freezer packs. Pack it cold, pack the ice with it, and open it once.
