Is needed.

In the case of trekking or climbing while carrying a backpack like this, when you try to eat a snack or an action food in a backpack by taking a break, the food in the backpack is not cool in hot weather, and in many cases it is hot. Even if you eat snacks or behaviors can not feel the cool taste is not satisfactory, and does not help to lower the body temperature. For example, even if you pack the cooled fruit or drink in the backpack, when taking them out of the backpack in the summer or daytime, their temperature is lukewarm or heated, there is a problem that the utility is greatly reduced because it can not feel the cool taste. Conversely, if you're trekking or climbing in winter or in cold weather, you'll need to warm up at home with hot tea, drinks, or warmth, so you can pack a tasty snack or action in your backpack and take it out in the mountains or outdoors. I couldn't enjoy my taste in a heated state, and I wasn't satisfied with maintaining body temperature.

On the other hand, backpacks have recently been introduced to accommodate auxiliary bags of thermal insulation in backpacks, but they help to maintain the temperature of the article to some extent, but the contents are heated or cooled by outside air after a long time. Inevitably, they also had limitations in that the effect could not be achieved unless the contents were cooled or heated in advance from the beginning.
