Memorable and Durable!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Having camped since childhood, "Coleman" to me has been synonymous to "Kleenex" with tissue. Back in the 1970s, anytime someone wanted a drink, you commonly heard, "Get it out of the Coleman" or "Light up the night with a Coleman". It was our household name.
The new steel belted cooler evokes and holds the same experience I had during my childhood only now my own kids are experiencing It! The cooler colds drinks nicely chilled for up to 5 days...ice water still keeping the drinks chilled. The downside however, is that the latch does not lock the lid down like the real classics did.

Love this cooler!

This cooler works perfectly for my family on our weekend camping trips. I wanted a larger sized cooler for drinks, so the kids wouldn’t have to go in and out of the camper all day. This is a solid cooler, no issues, keeps ice well beyond the weekend. I get so many compliments on it too!

Bought this cooler in the green color back in 2019. Cannot say that I've used it a lot...I'm an avid outdoorsman/hunter/fisherman from the Midwest but I usually take single trips, so I have not needed this 54qt cooler. I have, however, camped and done day trips with my wife and new baby daughter and this cooler is not worth your time. It will hold a 10lb bag of ice with 10-12 items in it for roughly 24 hours if you don't open it, which is not bad. MY BIG COMPLAINT, AND THE REASON YOU SHOULDN'T BUY THIS COOLER, is the steel belt. The female end of the steel belt latch mechanism is plastic and wears faster than a pair of underwear. I can, with two fingers, easily pop open the lid as it's "locked". The product description says it will handle all sorts of bumps in the road, but can it handle this bump of a scathing review?? As I said, I normally don't take this big cooler, so I have only used it five or six times in the last two years, but the latch is already worthless. A steel belt latch should last longer, no?? Attached are photos to show that the part of the 'steel' belting mechanism is indeed plastic. Should've paid more attention to it when I bought it! It's not my dad's generation of Coleman, that's for sure! You all would be better off spending the extra $50-$75 and upgrading to a roto-molded cooler. I will be.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This cooler brings back memories of camping as a kid. I was hoping for a good cooler and this one is great. It keeps ice for at least 24 hours. Took tent camping and it kept my food cold for 2 days.

Durable, affordable and super nostalgic

We have a 1969 Aristocrat Land Liner and didn't want to put "new" accessories in it. I purchased the green so it would go better with the appliances in the camper and it is almost the exact same green as the one my parents still have (30+ years old). Lightweight enough so you don't struggle to carry it, but durable enough to have your kids kick it down the front stairs and it thankfully doesn't show any signs of the incident.
I've seen reviews that talk about the plastic handle and locking mechanism falling apart or not latching property. To avoid any issues I checked all the screws on the handle before loading it up. To date I haven't had any issues with the handle, lock or ice retention. I do wish the finish wasn't textured but that is a minor complaint.
Over all I am extremely happy with the purchase and we will most likely be getting another one that is just for drinks.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Design issues
on September 24, 2018

Needs a better latch and a tether like on the cheap models to prevent the lid from falling back. My lid is now separating at the hinges and the insulation is now exposed. This happened with only the weight of the lid and gravity.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

A legacy renewed

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wanted to replace my OLD steel Coleman cooler with a closure lock that broke about 30 years ago, but it keeps ice for at least 8 days when I'm off the grid. I needed a new Coleman cooler that stands up to this reputation. EUREKA! This steel belted cooler lives up to its legacy! It stays cold over a week!
