[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] While I am not using it to go out to the park or beach, I use it as a place for storage for my makeup and skincare or other beauty products. Love that it is a good size that is in between. Fits a lot of food and love that I can also have storage for things that don't actually need to stay cool. It does cool, but still better if I use ice or freeze what I need to stay cold.
I picked this up to use as a tackle/fishing box. I have gotten a ton of use out of it this way and even throw some cold beers in with my gear knowing it will keep cold. The front pouch tends to collect water on occasion, but otherwise I've enjoyed this cooler.
Cooler was really nice but the top compartment zipper broke after a couple months. First the zipper would get hung up around the corners and run off one side of the teeth. Then the teeth ripped from the cooler. Not a very durable design and left me with a useless top compartment.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello there! Thank you for your feedback—we're glad to hear you liked the cooler overall, but we’re sorry the top compartment zipper didn’t hold up as expected. That’s definitely not the quality we aim to provide.
It sounds like the zipper may have had a design or manufacturing issue, especially if it was snagging and eventually detached from the fabric. We'd like to learn more and see how we can help.

I already have a larger cooler that I love, but sometimes we just need a smaller one when it's just me and my wife. This one has been absolutely perfect. Coleman put a lot of thought into this one to deliver all needs. The cooler compartment holds a larger volume than expected and keeps things very cool. Our favorite part is probably the dry storage on top, easy to toss in phones, keys, etc. The strap and outside material looks great, but is also nice and soft and easy to carry around.
I'm so happy with this Coleman Pro 24-Can Soft Cooler; it's become my go-to for just about everything. What I love is how it's genuinely tough and well-built—you can just feel the quality—but it's still light and really comfortable to carry around with the padded strap. It seriously keeps things cold all day long, and the little details make a big difference, like the smooth, oversized zippers and the separate dry pocket on the lid which is perfect for my phone and wallet. It honestly feels like one of those super expensive coolers but at a much more reasonable price. If you're looking for a durable, practical soft cooler that just works great for day trips or picnics, this one is a fantastic choice.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My new go to for road-trips! It’s durable, fits so much in a compact space, and I love all of the pockets and compartments store utensils, napkins, or even my phone and keys. It does its job and keeps things cool all day, even in the sun.
