Inspiration comes from the darnedest places, and the ChillinJoy is an example of that.

While swimming in cold Lake Michigan waters, the husband and wife creators of the ChillinJoy noticed how well they were kept warm by their [neoprene wetsuits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hydration-crossbody). In a flash of inspiration they wondered whether this same material would keep wine cool. They experimented by putting some ice packs and a room temperature bottle of wine inside a neoprene wetsuit.

The result? ChillinJoy! A multi-pocketed carrier that keeps your wine cool while you cruise to [local outdoor concerts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seaside-tasting-wine-kit).

Cool idea!
