Best hard cooler: Coleman 70 Quart Coastal Xtreme Series Marine Cooler
Our pick
Coleman 70 Quart Coastal Xtreme Marine Cooler
Best for most weeklong adventures
Better insulated and less expensive than the competition, it keeps ice frozen for a week, and its well-designed drain port makes the cooler easy to clean.
*At the time of publishing, the price was $47.
Get this if: You want a cooler for weekends away, car-camping trips, or tailgating, or to keep as a backup cooler in your garage in case your power suddenly goes out. It’s a workhorse.
Why it’s great: The Coleman 70 Quart Coastal Xtreme Series Marine Cooler is a tremendous value if you’re looking for a spacious, reliable cooler. Not only that, it’s sized so that you can still move and carry it with reasonable ease. It fits in most cars’ trunks and works great as extra seating—it can support up to 250 pounds. The Coleman Xtreme weighs 13.4 pounds empty; filled with 60 pounds of ice, it’s still manageable to carry for a short distance. If that weight or size seems intimidating, Coleman makes a similar model with wheels.
Dimensions: 28.4 by 15.8 by 17.5 inches (LWH)
Weight: 13.4 pounds
Capacity: 70 quarts
