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.

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.

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.

Classic!

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.

Cute vintage cooler

Super cute. Works great. Keeps ice frozen for many hours. Easy to empty melted ice water from the side. Stores nicely in a vehicle or campsite. Easy to clean. Can carry anywhere with you. Does get heavy if you put too much in it though.

Quality

We love our 54 Quart Steel Belted Cooler by Coleman. We have many coolers from them and they all are great but this one is our favorite. Spacious and convenient.

Love this cooler!

The Coleman Vintage 54-Quart Steel Belted Cooler is a perfect blend of nostalgic charm and modern functionality! Its retro design brings a cool, classic vibe to any outdoor gathering, whether it's a BBQ, picnic, or beach day. With its premium insulation, this cooler keeps ice cold for up to 4 days, ensuring your drinks stay chilled even in the heat. The high capacity is impressive, easily holding up to 85 cans, and the Have-A-Seat lid doubles as a sturdy seat, supporting up to 250 lbs. The rust-resistant hardware and comfort-grip handles make it durable and easy to carry. This cooler is a fantastic, long-lasting addition to any outdoor adventure!
