Your grandpappy’s OG Coleman cooler hasn’t changed much since, well, ever. Strong latches, easy-carry handles, and a durable bench seat top still make the brand’s 316 Series cooler a solid option for all-day hangs at the beach, at camp, or chilling in your friend’s backyard.

The 52-quart model is perfect for most outings—not too big, not too small. It’s just right. Plus, it’s available in large and jumbo sizes up to 150 quarts. In any size, it’s surprisingly lightweight, with this smallest and most portable option tipping the scales at less than nine pounds empty. Simple folding grab handles make it a breeze for one person to transport, even when full.

The hard plastic shell is reasonably durable, especially for a sub-$50 cooler. It’ll handle occasional drops, bumps, and dings without issue. It’s plenty strong enough to support a couple hundred pounds to use as a bench seat. That same construction also provides reasonably good ice retention for days at a time. With proper ice management, you can expect to get up to four days of solid ice out of it. Our team did notice that the insulation’s effectiveness does taper down after the first 24 hours, so it doesn’t stay quite as cold after the first full day of use.

Still, this is a solid value cooler anyone can scoop at any time. Just don’t expect it to come with any fancy features or trust it will insulate very well past 24-36 hours. But, seriously, it’s $50. You can’t beat this price!
