The Boardwalk Picnic Basket is a hybrid model that uses a reinforced willow-woven base for structural rigidity and a high-denier poly-canvas exterior for a modern look. This design provides the "lifestyle durability" needed for social outings while remaining under 6 lbs when unloaded. The interior features a heat-sealed PEVA liner, which is verified to be BPA and Phthalate-free. This liner is designed to be leak-resistant, helping to monitor and manage spills during transport.
Specifications indicate the PEVA liner can maintain a temperature difference for up to 4 hours in 85°F conditions. A practical reality of this design is that the zipper tracks are not immersion-proof; for the best performance, using solid ice packs rather than loose cubes will help prevent moisture migration. The basket comes with a full service set, including porcelain plates and shatter-resistant glasses, which are significant upgrades over disposable plastic options.
- Velcro straps inside help secure the service set, though they may lose some grip after many cycles.
- Avoid hyper-extending the lid to help protect the canvas-to-wicker attachment points.
- The #5 zippers are sturdy for household use but perform best when the bag is not overpacked.
This unit is designed to provide a layer of safety for your fragile dining items while offering the thermal benefits of a soft cooler. It is a helpful tool for those who want a complete, ready-to-go picnic solution that looks as good as it functions.
If you are looking for a more heavy-duty, plastic storage option for camping gear, the TOEEBR 45L crate provides a different kind of utility.
