Methods and apparatus for bag with cooling element

A cooling bag, comprising:

• a main body comprising:
• a front panel;
• a rear panel;
• and
• a bottom panel extending between the front and rear panels, wherein each of the front and rear panels comprises a multi-layer structure comprising:
• an external fabric layer;
• an interior liner;
• and
• a plurality of intermediate insulating layers disposed between the external fabric layer and the interior liner, wherein the plurality of intermediate insulating layers comprises:
• a first mesh material disposed adjacent to an inner surface of the external fabric layer;
• a radiant barrier disposed adjacent to an inner facing surface of the first mesh material;
• a second mesh material disposed adjacent to an inner facing surface of the radiant barrier;
• at least one rubber layer disposed adjacent to an inner facing surface of the second mesh material;
• and
• a plastic layer disposed between an inner facing surface of the rubber layer and an outwardly facing surface of the interior liner;
• a fastening device extending along outer peripheral edges of the front and rear panels, wherein the fastening device is configured to connect the outer peripheral edges of the front and rear panels together to form an interior receiving section;
• and
• a cooling sleeve disposed within the interior receiving section and dividing the interior receiving section into a front receiving section and a back receiving section, wherein the front receiving section is proximate to the front panel and the back receiving section is proximate to the rear panel.
