Reviewers call it an unbeatable value for casual use, but caution that the thin blow-molded build, weaker seal, and shorter retention fall well short of premium coolers.

Cast Your Vote

Do you think Coleman Xtreme 70 deserves the #10 spot in Best Coolers?

Global Critique

Costing less than a quarter of most of the competition while still boasting decent insulation and pretty good usability, the Coleman is one of the top value coolers in our lineup.

OutdoorGearLab

It's not airtight, leakproof, lockable, or particularly durable, but it can get you through a weekend and won't break the bank in the process.
