1. An insulating device comprising:
- an outer shell defining a first sidewall;
an inner liner forming a storage compartment;
wherein the outer shell defines a bottom wall extending in a first plane and wherein the inner liner comprises a nylon fabric and is secured to the outer shell in a second plane extending perpendicular to the first plane, and wherein the inner liner is secured to the outer shell by a weld;
an insulating layer comprising a foam layer positioned in between the outer shell and the inner liner, the insulating layer providing insulation for the storage compartment;
an opening configured to allow access to the storage compartment;
a closure adapted to substantially seal the opening, the closure being substantially waterproof so as to resist liquid from exiting the opening when the insulating device is in any orientation; and
a lid assembly attached in at least one location to a body assembly wherein the lid assembly includes an upper inner liner portion comprising a nylon fabric and an upper insulating portion and an upper outer shell portion, and wherein the upper insulating portion is positioned between the upper inner liner portion and the upper outer shell portion.

Abstract
An insulating device can include an aperture having a waterproof closure which allows access to the chamber within the insulating device. The closure can help prevent any fluid leakage into and out of the insulating device if the insulating device is overturned or in any configuration other than upright. The closure may also prevent any fluid from permeating into the chamber if the insulating device is exposed to precipitation, other fluid, or submersed under water. This construction results in an insulating chamber that is substantially impervious to water and other liquids when the closure is sealed.
