Bought it as a very expensive (worth it!!!) surprise for my Mom. She only wanted a Coleman and it had to have the steel belting. She got it and we still laugh at her specific criteria!
I absolutely love these coolers, just purchased two, my old one (approximately 37 years old) has seen better days; however, by far one of the best coolers I have ever owned.
I bought this cooler when they were first rereleased and was disappointed then. Was hoping that over time, todays date, they would have made needed changes. My issue is that it looks like a 70’s model, but not made to the same quality. I’ve read that materials have been updated to make the product better, not sure I agree. The locking system has changed so you don’t even need to unlock it, just pull or push hard enough on the lid. Not sure why the lock is even there. Also, what happened to the internal meat tray that use to come with every cooler. Does that item raise the price of the cooler so much no one would purchase it. I’ve been so disappointed in the one I purchased that it’s been upstairs in the barn since purchased it. I’ve been waiting for an honest vintage replica with durable steel parts instead of cheap plastic (locking mechanism, handle and latch, hinges…) before making another cooler purchase. I’ve been told the price would be to high for an item like that and no one would purchase it. Just browse online at the number of people looking for 70’s Coleman Coolers for sale. Throw the numbers out in emails and online and find out how many would be willing to pay for it. Make it so parts can be ordered and replaced. Make an actual replica using quality materials and make an American quality product again.

Great cooler, and has a cool look to it. Very spacious and works how it’s supposed to , keeps things cool. Has handles to make it easy to carry but can get heavy depending on what you put in there.

I absolutely love the cooler. It is super potable cooler. It is perfect for house parties and stores a lot of drinks. I also love the design as it looks super sleek!

One big drawback

They should have made the lid to fully lift off, but instead it’s on hinges. This makes it very awkward to clean. And a cooler is one of those things that needs to be meticulously cleaned between uses.

I have a vintage version of this cooler and the newer one (along with a collection of Coleman coolers!), and I love these durable and portable coolers! The capacity is just right and the insulation keeps stuff cool even in the valley.
