Why We Like The Coleman Vintage Steel Belted Cooler

Coleman's Vintage Steel Belted Cooler looks like it came out of a time capsule from the fifties, except it has all the upgraded features we like for modern camping. We like its steel-belted insulation that keeps ice frozen much longer than the cooler from yesteryear.

Nice! But dents easily.

Metal on outside of cooler dents easily. Dented on arrival, but drainage is great and beautiful vintage look.

Quick shipping, sturdy with great latch

Heavy to lift when full but very sturdy, easy to drain and keeps food cold. I like the latched lid.

Dented lid

Cooler is nice and seems to work as advertised. But Coleman really needs to step up their shipping. The cooler arrived in a torn cardboard box and upon inspection of the cooler itself I discovered the left top corner of the lid noticeably dented which corresponds to the box damage

The best in the business!

The common name has always been the best when it comes to outdoors, whether it be camping or sitting out on your deck they’ve always been the most reliable, most trusted name. The cooler was exactly what I wanted and look forward to using a lot.

Bang for Buck Texas Tough!

I bought this cooler to carry in the bed of my truck. I live in south Texas. 103°F in the shade about 113°F in the sun. I put 1 case of water and 20lbs of ice on Friday morning. Sunday morning there was still a little ice and the waters were still very cold. The cooler sits on direct sun all day. I've had other coolers that the ice melts by lunchtime. I love this little guy. The no tilt drain, the stainless shell painted green makes it a looker. Metal handles. Man, I bought a cable lock because I get asked about it so much I'm afraid of it walking away. I absolutely would suggest this cooler to friends and family. We'll done Coleman.

Misleading photos in advertisement

I purchased this cooler to replace my original steel coleman cooler which I used to put stickers on from all the places I had traveled to with it. The exterior of this cooler is stamped with a deep textured surface that is not conducive for applying stickers to. It also made the cooler look cheap and was off-putting. I was disappointed the second I opened the box. I would not recommend if your like to put stickers on your cooler.

Looks good, lacking in quality

I have owned this cooler, the stainless steel color version, for about ten years now. I use the cooler 1 - 2 times per year. A few years back, the plastic inside the lid handle pulled out and broke when I tried to latch it. Also the steel pelting and petal hardware are starting to show signs of rust. Looks great but lacking in quality.

Cold for 4 days

Love these coolers we have a very old one and a new one. They do hold ice for 4 days great for traveling. Wish they would make this one without the bottle opener in silver again. I need one without s bottle opener due to space.
