About Us
It all began when we created the portable, gas-powered lantern that illuminated the first evening football game west of the Mississippi. In WWII, our camping stoves transformed the way soldiers ate in the field. We continued to revolutionize the outdoors with our cooler manufacturing in the 1950s, and in the decades that followed we added tents, sleeping bags, lighting, and more.
After 120 years, Coleman gear is everywhere you are: on the trail, by the lake, at a tailgate, or in the middle of a music festival. We’re always around a place where there are friends, coolers, and campfires. So, grab a tent, fire up a grill, and pull up a chair. The Outside Is Calling.

Zunchst zum Marketing: 4 Tage Khlleistung ist unter normalen Bedingungen vllig bertrieben. Ich nutze die Box mit vier M30 Khlelementen – und diese sind nach sptestens 24 Stunden aufgetaut. Mehrere Tage geht es vielleicht, wenn man die ganze Box mit Eis fllt und diese dann in den Keller stellt und nie aufmacht. Aber mit Praxis hat das natrlich nichts zu tun. Nun zu den Vorteilen: die Box ist gross und hat damit viel Platz. Auch die Rollen sind gross dimensioniert. In Kombination mit dem Teleskopstangengriff ist das sehr praktisch. Die Khlleistung ist fr den 1-2 tgigen Gebrauch gut. Das hngt natrlich von diversen Faktoren ab: Aussentemperatur, Fllgrad, wie oft wird die Box geffnet, wieviele Khlelemente werden verwendet etc.. Zu den Nachteilen: es gibt in der Box keine Raumaufteilung. Hilfreich wre z.B. ein Raumteiler oder eine Gitterbox. Die Rollen sind zwar gut, aber Vollgummi wre natrlich besser als das verwendete Hartplastik. Es fehlen Tragegriffe. Es gibt zwar Einmuldungen, aber wenn die Box voll beladen ist, sind Tragegriffe links und rechts eigentlich ein Muss! Der Deckel wird nur durch Druck verschlossen. Hier ist die Frage, ob dieser Verschluss ber die Zeit nicht ausleiert. Ein zustzlicher, echter Verschluss wre daher m.E. sinnvoll.
Fazit: Licht und Schatten. Wer eine grosse Khlbox mit guter Khlleistung und Rollen sucht, macht hier aber nichts falsch.
Bought this for a festival, so it was used for 3 days straight. The quality is great and doubles as a table with drinks holders. The wheels were a life saver. Had no problems over tarmac, rubble and long grass!
Only thing I didn’t like was the handle, it felt like a cheap suitcase handle and I was worried it might break with all the weight of the fully stocked cooler. I was wrong, it worked perfectly.
I pre cooled the cooler with a frozen 2l bottle of water 24 hours prior to loading it. I then switched the bottle for another and added lots of 500ml of frozen water. After 3 days the 2l bottle was 80% frozen and 500ml bottles around 70% frozen. All food and drinks was still ice cold after 3 days and on the box is says it lasts 4 days. Which I would agree it would!
If you need a cooler for a few days, this is great! I’d love to test it for a longer period but 3 days and it perfect!
Wir haben uns diese Khlbox wegen angeln in Norwegen angeschafft. Wir sind Samstags um 10 Uhr mit dem eingefrorenen Fisch in Norwegen gestartet und waren Montag gegen 17 Uhr zu Hause. Der Fisch war noch immer tiefgefroren. Wir sind total zufrieden und wrden uns diese Khlbox immer wieder kaufen.
Went camping for 7 days. Kept food cold for 5 of those days – Albeit I did use some amazing ice packs (Cooler Shock Reusable Ice Packs – Large size).
A great combo of both the cooler and the ice packs – Food stayed frozen for around 3 days, after which it all started to thaw out understandably.
Would recommend!
Great capacity. Really effective. Great idea that this can be used as a seat too when out and about.
My only slight negative is that the instructions say to avoid shutting the lid when storing the box (to avoid mold), but there’s nothing that can prop the lid open and the lid is attached on one side so you can’t remove the whole lid. So I’ve just had to shove some cardboard under the lid to keep a gap, whilst not in use.
So we bought this for Download Festival, in the blistering English weather this coolbox did extremely well…until we got a towel stuck in the lid and went off to see Slipknot and came back to a very hot box!!
But that was human error, if you get ice boxes or tip a bag of ice cubes in it (there’s a handy drainage hole at the bottom) it can easily do 4-5 days. Considering it did 4days in a hot tent it was well worth the money.
Very impressed and kept our beers nice and cold!
It’s plenty big. No bells and whistles but it does what it says on the tin! Feels sturdy – box, wheels, handle. Using it properly next weekend so will edit my review if my ice melts on the first day! So far so good
Works well for storing perishables but it is not water tight and will let water in from the top if it gets wet. It does have a plug towards the bottom to empty out but this should come with a waterproof cover.
My fridge freezer broke down just before Xmas so the cooler saved all my Xmas food as it was 3weeks before I could get a replacement,luckily I had a chest freezer to keep freezing ice packs and bottles of water to keep it cool,an electric cooler would be easier though if you haven’t a freeze
A good size which takes more than enough food and drinks for a weekend away for 2 (can probably do family of 4) I did pack with multiple ice packs as was one of hottest weekends of the year. But was pleased that little food was wasted due to getting warm but it was 4 th day and very hot. Ability to pull along means I don’t need to worry about it’s weight only when lifting into car!
Lovely quality product. However you have to really fill it up with ice and ice blocks to keep items cold for any period of time. This would make it more practical. Kept butter hard for 36 hrs but wouldn’t think it would last much longer.
Ideal double use as a table.
Should have got same product smaller size as would be more practical for our needs.
Anyone want to swap a large for a small?
This is probably the best cooler box I have ever owned. My grandfather had a Coleman that I remember from my small child hood. My brother is still using it and my estimate it its been used for 50 years constantly. I expect that this new model I’ve got will last as long, its very robust and on the last camping trip it remained cold for 3/4 days which is a great result. Well done Colman a great product once again.
Tip1. Load whilst from empty in the back of the car, it can be heavy fully loaded.
I also thought it could serve as a separate seat but I wouldn’t recommend this as it didn’t feel sturdy enough.
In short – perfect for a weekend away!
The box works for my purpose, shopping frozen goods and getting them home before they defrost
I have a few ice packs that I place in the box for an hour before I use it and the box stays cool
I have one issue – very difficult to open because the closure is stiff and there is very little to grip to get the lid open. I struggle, so the wife hasn’t a chance
i am hoping it loosens up after repeated use
Didn’t actually get to use this product as it had to be returned as it was too big for our use. That said if you need a chill box this big, it’s sturdy, it can be handled by one person with a struggle but better with two. Can’t say how fresh it kept stuff but plenty deep enough to stand up a 4 pint bottle of milk. Then lots of room for food and cool blocks. A weekend getaway of food for 4 would fit in easy.
I must say the frozen food remained frozen until I defrosted it four days later!!
I am well impressed, and on one occasion I even took ice cubes and they were frozen until used two days later.
It also doubles as a table, a seat or somewhere to put your glass.
Best cool box ever.
We bought this in the hope it would keep food and drink chilled over a 3 day camping trip spanning the Summer solstice. Didn’t it just! Fabulous buy. Using 3 x plastic 1 ltr water bottles frozen in our freezer as cool packs, the food was added, all topped with a bag of supermarket ice and off we set. (Ice on top as cool air sinks) We opened the box frequently over a scorching long weekend to find ice cold drink and well chilled foods therein. On our return home, on emptying, ice that had fallen to the bottom was still frozen. The box serviced 2 adults and 3 children, was opened constantly to access can of drink, milk for teas& coffees, as well as the main food supply. A handy plug in the bottom side meant a quick rinse and easy drain the dry Ieft it pristine, ready for the next trip. Sturdy handles on either side make it easy to carry and if, half way to your pitch, you need a blow, you can sit on it while sipping a cold beer taken from the inside!! I would unhesitatingly recommend this product. 5 stars
Have used it so far for one trip of 6 days and was very pleased. The cooler is large and needs a lot of ice packs or bags of ice to get it cold initially – if you can load up at home and have some frozen food (sausages, pre-prepped chili, Spag bol, etc.) in that helps. Once chilled it maintains temp well. We used about 10 no-brand freeze packs initially when we left home, then moved to a bag of ice or topping up with four or so ice packs from the campsite each day when they thawed. This kept the temp inside the box cool and we had no problems with food spoiling, including milk/ meat. Butter was also firm so a good indicator of the ambient temp. We had put the majority of the blocks on the bottom so that the food stood on a raised platform. This meant that we could use the bag of ice and allow the cold water to remain in the bottom of the box without soaking food. Some sort of plastic rack or using food storage boxes on the bottom would work in a similar way. Draining water when needed is easy via the valve at the end.
Negatives are that the only way to access the box is via the whole lid being opened and also that the lid needs a positive push down to close.
Build quality is good and the weight of the box alone is fine. I was OK lifting it by myself when full, but others may need two people. That said, it’s unlikely you would buy this box for solo trips.
Fits OK into the back of a SUV/ Estate, but you’d need to check the dimensions carefully for a normal saloon boot.
Last thing before setting off, we filled (and I do mean filled) the Coleman with all kinds of frozen solid goodness. Beware! Unless you’re a champion weight lifter you will need two people to lift this box when it’s full. For the first week of our camping trip we were using it as a freezer, with a separate smaller coolbox as a fridge with some thawing milk from the Coleman to keep it cool.
On about day six the curry started to thaw, and we’d created quite a bit of space in the box. I found a local shop happy to freeze as many bottles of milk as I could buy. So, seven more frozen 1 litre bottles of milk and about four bags of Tesco ice kept things cool for the second week. By this point the box was only a 25% full, so the thawing process was a little quicker. The box became both fridge and freezer on week two, colder things nearer the bottom. If the cold water in the bottom got too much it was easy to drain it out using the bung. It was kept in the van with the windows open an inch – cooler than the tent.
General thoughts on the box – seems well enough made, although not bomb/idiot proof. The handles are fine for lifting the box when full. There are useful can holders and (for some reason) a measuring stick as part of the plastic box lid. The hinges are of the scored plastic type and the lid has a small lip to keep it in place. Maybe these parts will wear with age, but seemed OK to me.
Recommended.
