    They will be fine. If your really concerned put the bags in a small cooler.

    Either small cooler or big jacket pockets you could stick the bags in.

    Agreed with the posts above; I wouldn't be worried at all. Just make sure to float the bags for 15 min. to get the temp the same as your reef in your acclimation process.
