I really prefer plastic lidded glass containers but weight become a problem when packing a cooler. In fact, cooler weight is a problem. We bought a great cooler to carry stuff from city to country, only to find that when it was full it was almost too heavy for one of us to carry. So we offed it and bought two small coolers which work well as long as we use plastic containers. Three, say, two or three quart glass quart containers start adding substantially to total weight.
