Coleman Xtreme Cooler, Large Ice Box, PU Full Foam Insulation, Stays Cool for Days, Portable Cool Box; Perfect for Camping, Picnics and Festivals

Product Information

There is a common name designation among all Xtreme Coolers that needs to be discussed. After the storage volume, Coleman has included a number ranging from 3 to 6. For instance, they offer the 62 Quart Xtreme 5, 28 Quart Xtreme 3, 120 Quart Xtreme 6, etc. This number represents how many days your items will stay cold. So for instance, the 62 Quart Xtreme 5 will supposedly keep items cool for 5 days. It is worth mentioning that not every single one of the Coleman Xtreme Marine Coolers has yet been updated to follow this standard. Currently, only the 120-Quart Xtreme 5 and 150-Quart Xtreme 6 do. However, Coleman states that their 100-Quart and 28-Quart are capable of 5 days and 3 days, respectively. As for color options, they are a bit limited. Depending on which size and model you go with, you will be able to choose between the traditional Coleman blue and white color scheme, the brown and white option, or the attractive and eye-popping gray and orange accent color option. verifyErrors }}{{ message }}{{ /verifyErrors }}{{

But overall, all of these coolers are very reasonably priced and it helps us to overlook some of their minor shortcomings. Overall Rating– Unlike other manufacturers, Coleman rigid coolers are insulated with Polyurethane insulation (PU). PU is a very dense and an excellent insulator filling the entire internal cavity of the cooler, leaving no air gaps and so improving its insulating efficiency. While we didn’t see quite the numbers that Coleman stated, they weren’t too far off. This does bring up an interesting point, however. Coleman simply states that their coolers will “keep food cold” for up to a certain period. This could be interpreted differently from how long it keeps ice, as even cold water could do a good job of keeping items cold. Because of this, we feel that their stated cooling performance is pretty accurate. And the results, particularly in the larger sizes, show that Coleman Xtreme Coolers can keep up with the ice retention values on some of the more popular premium coolers on the market. To get a better idea of real-life results, we did some of our in-house tests. Our go-to method is to fill the cooler approximately ½ full with ice and leave it outside. We will then open it every half hour or so to emulate real-life use. The results were as follows: Research indicates that the most performance efficient shape for a cooler is spherical, as this is not practical we have angled the corners of selected models to further enhance performance.

Expect to pay in the high intermediate tier for this product, depending on size and availability. Remember that our value figures are based on dollars per quart. So smaller sizes will tend to fall higher into the intermediate price tier while lower ones will be closer to the budget price tier. This is a respectable price point for these coolers given their performance and features. Overall Rating– The wheeled options come with a large tow handle that allows you to pull the cooler behind while utilizing the handle wheels. In addition to this, there is also the same side-mounted comfort grip handles used in the other sizes for those times when you are unable to use the wheels. This may happen if the slope is too steep, the terrain is too rough, or you simply need to lift it off of the ground. As an added feature, robust lids are strong enough to be used as a seat for up to 113kg! The Coleman Xtreme insulation provides premium cooling performance. The 28QT cooler sits upright in your car with 2 added beverage holders.

The Xtreme Marine line is Coleman’s updated and improved offering for those in the market for marine coolers. They come with the patented Thermozone insulation but in higher amounts than the conventional Coleman marine products. Also, upgrades to the frame itself have been implemented which results in a slimmer, more aesthetic body while also being much more rigid. There are multiple selections of shapes and sizes. The larger sizes can come with either 4 molded cup holders while the smaller ones come with 2 and all sizes come with carrying handles. Sizes available include 28, 100, 120, and 150 quarts and all products are made of plastic. Insulation Ability – As for styling, there are essentially two designs to choose from right now. The 28-quart and 120-quart have been through facelifts and possess the sharp edges and defining features of a more progressive cooler. While the other sizes still retain the more traditional Coleman Cooler design with softer edges and embedded grooves. Also, all Coleman Xtreme Coolers come with the Have-A-Seat feature which can handle up to 250 pounds sitting on the lid. This is particularly helpful on the Xtreme Marine Coolers as they can double as extra seats or benches while on the boat.As you step up, the larger sizes all have side-mounted comfort-grip handles that can rotate almost 180 degrees. This gives you a good angle to grab the cooler. That being said, when it is full, we recommend finding a buddy to help you move it. Other great features include a leak-resistant drain that helps you to remove melted water. This is more common on larger-sized coolers as smaller ones are much easier to tilt over yourself.
