What is claimed is: 1. A sports equipment bag comprising: a flexible elongated body defining an equipment storage region, the body including at least one recloseable opening and an outwardly facing reflective barrier layer having a reflectivity of UV radiation or sunlight of at least 80 percent, at least a portion of the barrier layer being viewable from outside of the bag, and a cooling element removably secured to the body. 2. The equipment bag of claim 1 wherein the cooling element is selected from the group consisting of an ice pack, an ice-substitute pack, a compact manually activated cooling pack, and a combination thereof. 3. A sports equipment bag comprising: a flexible elongated body defining an equipment storage region, the body including at least one recloseable opening and an outwardly facing reflective barrier layer having a reflectivity of UV radiation or sunlight of at least 80 percent, at least a portion of the barrier layer being viewable from outside of the bag, wherein the reflective barrier layer comprises a retroreflective material. 4. The equipment bag of claim 3, wherein the retroreflective material has a coefficient of retroreflection of at least 100 cd/lux/m 2. 5. A sport equipment bag for carrying racquets, bats, other elongate sport implements and the like, the equipment bag comprising: an elongated pliable body having an exterior surface, an interior surface and at least one recloseable opening, the body defining an equipment storage region sufficiently sized to store at least two elongate sport implements, at least a portion of the interior surface includes a reflective barrier having a reflectivity of UV radiation or sunlight of at least 80 percent, and a cooling element removably secured to the body. 6. The equipment bag of claim 5 wherein the cooling element is selected from the group consisting of an ice pack, an ice-substitute pack, a compact manually activated cooling pack, and a combination thereof. 7. The equipment bag of claim 1, wherein the barrier layer is constructed to inhibit the transmission of ultraviolet radiation through the body. 8. The equipment bag of claim 1, wherein the reflective barrier layer comprises one of a diffuse reflective material, a specular reflective material and a retroreflective material. 9. The equipment bag of claim 1 wherein the body further includes a layer of thermal insulating material. 10. The equipment bag of claim 9 wherein the layer of thermal insulating material is selected from the group consisting of a single-sided bubble wrap, a double-sided bubble wrap, a compressible foam, and combinations thereof. 11. The equipment bag of claim 3, wherein the barrier layer is constructed to inhibit the transmission of ultraviolet radiation through the body. 12. The equipment bag of claim 3 wherein the body further includes a layer of thermal insulating material. 13. The equipment bag of claim 12 wherein the layer of thermal insulating material is selected from the group consisting of a single-sided bubble wrap, a double-sided bubble wrap, a compressible foam, and combinations thereof.
