Coleman Soft Cooler Bag | High-Performance Leak-Proof Soft Cooler | Portable Beverage Cooler

This cooler looks great and is built sturdy, very well insulated and great at keeping food and drinks cold. Perfect size for a six pack or work lunch. I’ve been using this cooler nonstop for months and it’s showing no sign of wear.

Other than the waterproof zipper being super tight (which really isn’t necessary) this is a sturdy cooler/lunch bag. It doesn’t keep things colder anymore longer than my other cooler bags. Works well and holds a decent amount.

I've purchased several coolers and other gear from Coleman over the years and experienced perfectly acceptable quality and performance for the price and convenience. This cooler however is a ridiculous attempt to offer a "premium" Yeti, Rtic, etc - style design. The insulation and waterproofing are solid and thick and the overall body of the cooler seems appropriately durable for the price. The biggest issues are the zipper and storage pockets. Like other "water sealed" zippers, the Coleman zippers are very difficult to open. Other premium brands, as well as the cheaper knock-offs, include silicone lubricant to ease opening and maintain the seal...the Coleman doesn't. I thought my wife was going to tear the cooler apart trying to open it. The second major flaw are the pockets. The front pocket has the same difficult to open zipper, and when it is opened has barely enough space for a large phone, much less a thicker set of keys. The side mesh pockets, the two areas that could make up for the tight front pocket, are literally smaller than the average can koozie. In total, the pockets could hold maybe a phone, a few cards and a folded up koozie...all while being extremely difficult to get in and out. Yes, a cooler's primary purpose is to keep things cold and not be a purse, but there are far better (and less expensive) options that keep things cold and allow storage of wallets, phones, snacks, koozies, etc. If insulation is your main concern and you don't care about pockets, the zipper is a still a major disappointment and makes the cooler's primary purpose less than satisfactory. I still value Coleman products, this is just one design that should be avoided.

So I got this backpack mainly for work to carry my lunch and take to the beach or for drinks, it feels nice and secure especially with the center strap that goes across the chests so somthing I’ve noticed is it’s not exactly water prof totally it will leak if it goes completely upside down, also it doesn’t fit 24 cans more like 12 kinda disappointed in that. Another thing it comes with this useless bottle opener that I managed to get a beer open with but it made a mess and my room smells like beer and my mom knows that I’m an alcoholic now.Nevertheless I like the back pack it’s made durable, oh and the zipper isn’t that bad a lot of people complained about it being hard it’s really not that bad but the front zipper is just as useless as the bottle opener cheers mate!!

Summer is over so couldn’t test this at the beach in Cali. However we’ve been taking it camping in the cold and it’s held up well. Ice has stayed in the cooler for about 3 days on a cold (38-60F) weekend. The color is very nice and vibrant. It doesn’t leak or hasn’t leaked yet. Handle/strap seems durable. I like that the bag holds its shape and seems to be very thick and insulated. Easy to clean and hang dry. Zipper is great quality, smooth and doesn’t snag anywhere. This is our first soft/bag cooler and I like it so far although I have nothing to compare to. I usually use a rotomolded cooler for camping and this is a nice extra cooler for drinks or spare ice.
