A fruit picker\s supported container, has a back for comfortable bag-like fitting against a user\s body, and completed front and left and right sides, which are firm, rigid, fixed, non-yielding, by using in part, a preformed partial circular arc laminate of high density polyethylene plastic, to protect the picked fruit inside the container from bruising caused by front and side forces, such as when a ladder or tree branch is bumped. Initially the back, front, left and right sides of the container, which form a bucket like volume, are formed of a laminated arrangement of an interior lining or lamination layer of fabric, a middle lamination of open cell foam plastic insulation, and an outer cover or lamination layer of fabric. A depending skirt is made of only a layer of fabric. On a smaller container, quick release fasteners on narrow straps are used in preparation for emptying small fruit, via the skirt. On a larger container, longer narrower straps are equipped with spring biased clamp buckles for emptying of large fruit, via the unfolded skirt. A full length zipper extends from the top center of the container back, downwardly throughout the bucket like volume and the skirt. When the zipper is unfastened, the container is opened, for cleaning and storage, almost to a planar configuration, being restrained only by the preformed partial circular arc curved plastic laminate, which remains firm, rigid, fixed, and non-yielding.
