The KEFOMOL 26L basket functions as a hybrid between a soft-sided cooler and a structural market carrier. It features an anodized aluminum frame that provides a sturdy skeleton, paired with a 600D Oxford polyester exterior. This fabric choice offers a layer of safety against punctures compared to lighter weight textiles. The interior is lined with a heat-pressed PEVA material, which is verified to be BPA-free and lead-free, adding a level of safety for food transport in your home.
Specifications indicate the basket is optimized for thermal retention during 2 to 4-hour commutes. Because the side walls are designed to be collapsible, they lack the thick rigid insulation found in permanent coolers. Performance is best maintained when the basket is filled to at least 70% capacity, which helps minimize air-gap convection. The lid is soft-structured and splash-proof, meaning it helps monitor the environment inside while resisting light rain, though it is not designed to support external stacking loads.
Support is provided by a twin-handle design, which helps prevent the basket from folding inward while being carried. Tests show the heat-welded seams are robust under standard vertical loads; however, sliding sharp or heavy objects like glass bottle edges horizontally can stress the internal lining. When the trip is finished, the unit collapses for easy storage in tight spaces.
If you prefer a simpler, non-lidded design for open-top grocery shopping, the ALLCAMP Blue Stripe basket provides a similar aluminum frame without the zipper top.
Adding this to your kitchen helps organize trips from the store to your collapsible snack and picnic bins storage area.
