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.

I liked this as kept my food and drinks nice and chilled up to 3 days. I then bought another as I was impressed.
We bought this for camping trips. Put in a couple of ice packs before we put drinks inside, to cool it down. Then filled it with drinks and more ice packs. It stayed very cool. During our trip we bought a bag of ice to give everything a cold boost and this worked really well too.
It’s a decent size and you can get a lot in it.
Their food stayed frozen while travelling to France, just what I needed!
Sturdy, practical, easy to clean, absolutely perfect and exactly what I needed!
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.
After using a cheaper coolbox that would struggle to keep ice for a full day i upgraded to this coleman 5 day cooler.
Built quality is excellent and quite light for its size although once filled with ice and contents the weight soon adds up.
This coolbox does exactly as it says and keeps ice for 5 days excellent for weekends away camping food stays chilled for the full weekend easily.
If your looking for a quality coolbox for trips away then purchase this trust me you wont regret it.
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.
Only used it a couple of times but has been very good. It is quite big so better for longer trips but if I’m only going away for a weekend I pack it with ice then put bubble wrap so there’s no empty space as this allows the ice to defrost quicker. Good price too.
We have now used this for 2 camping trips. It is excellent. I freeze what I can before going and pack frozen food at one end and refrigerated at the other with ice packs. It keeps food cool for about 4 days with normal opening usage for meals. The meat was still partly frozen after 3 nights. The outside temp was cold at night but upto 19 deg during the day. The capacity is great, holds food for a family of 4 for 4 days. The only draw back is carrying the box when full as it is heavy and no wheels. It is sturdy enough to sit on, the cup holders in the top are handy. If water builds up from things defrosting it is also easy to drain.
I bought this to store cake in when selling a fairs. I had a massive 2 day event on this weekend just gone and everything stayed ice cold for 11 hours!!!! I’m super chuffed with it. We went for the 66l as its was cheaper than the smaller sizes. The top is sturdy(but stiff to open but after few uses I’m sure it will give.) the inside holes 3 medium Tupperware across the bottom and at least 3 to 4 high!!!! With space around the sides for ice packs. Easy to wipe clean and love the valve on the bottom for easy drainage. During the day the kids sat on it and used it as a horse to play on. Everything was safe inside. I’m extremely happy with this item. A great investment.
Very impressive cool box, went camping for 2 nights 3 days, had beers, containers with marinated meats and burgers and milk all inside the box, with a couple of 1 kg bags of ice and couple of ice packs to keep everything cool.
On the third day everything was still chilled to perfection and the ice cubes had only lost half their size to melting. There’s a little drain on the side which meant draining the melt water was very easy. The box has some weight and is sturdy enough to be sat on by a 90kg man no bother. Overall extremely impressed with the box and couldn’t recommend more.
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.
The cooler seems to be of really good build quality and its is also lightweight for its size.
Usage
The top lit has got 4 holes to place your drinks(similar to a car cup holder) so it was very convinient to have them on top when the lit was closed.
What amazed me was the capacity of the cooler and the time frame that the ice cubes did nit melt. I tried this cooler on a hot day 45 Celsius from 8:00-17:00 and the drinks were cool until late afternoon.
Portability
The cooler is a bit bulky for one person to carry so i purchased a foldable trolley to move it around.
Tip: I didn’t want the drinks to be extra cold so i bought a bag of ice and didn’t open the bag until the early afternoon.this helped the drinks remain cool but not cold. Opening the ice bag and throwing some ice in the cooler will drop the temperature significantly and since it has great insulation the drinks will become cold within 30-45 minutes
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.
