Still good after 75 years
Have the original my grandpa purchased in 1950, and it still out preforms a yeti. It's beat up, the plastic has splits, and the latch doesn't hold too well anymore. But it still has good ice after 5 days. The yeti held ice for 2. For 75 years old it still the best cooler I've seen

A great cooler
We have had this cooler for a very long time. The plastic is slightly cracked and it is still a great working, fully functioning cooler. Coleman is a great brand and is very durable and lasting company.

Retro memories
This particular cooler has been in my family since I can remember as a small child. I had to buy my husband one Christmas and we mainly used it in our boat. This cooler has taken a beating in various ways but it's now rusting in the hinges and going off to the big cooler in the sky. Keeps food and drinks cold all day and a few days more with plenty of ice

Great cooler, camp worry free
Our family has had this cooler for over 20 years. Granted I’m sure this picture is a newer model, but that just speaks for how great quality products Coleman makes! Everytime we camped this cooler came along for the ride, giving ample space for all of our food and ice blocks to keep them cold. The latch to keep it closed is a great feature, and also ensures to keep your contents chilled

Surprise for Mom
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!

Happy Camper!
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.

Build Quality and It Will Sell!
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
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.
