Prominent US outdoor brand Coleman has unveiled Snap ‘N Go, which it claims is the”world’s first retractable hard-sided cooler.” The cooler is readily available in three size varieties: 55 quarts (52 litres), 45 quarts (43 litres), and 35 quarts (33 litres). The flagship 55-quart model can hold up to 93 cans, while the remaining models can house 76 and 64 cans, respectively.
In spite of differing in size, all these coolers collapse to simply 4.7 inches in height, making them roughly the very same footprint as an outdoor camping range when kept flat. As obvious by the name, the Snap ‘N Go range collapses to approximately one-third of its complete size, allowing it to move into kitchen cabinets, automobile trunks, and campervan storage with ease.
As highlighted by New Atlas, to accomplish the innovation, “Coleman eventually obtained from folding storage dog crate style.” The producer resorted to using hinge-split front and rear walls and swinging sidewalls that fold flat in a single quick motion. The cooler snaps back to complete size in under 10 seconds, prepared to be loaded with ice and arrangements.
Many camping coolers, especially affordable, hard-sided models, struggle with leaks, typically launching water from the lid, sides, or drain plug when tilted or shaken. That is not the case with Snap ‘N Go, which is lined with a thin, supple inner bladder that keeps things water tight. Eliminate the bladder when it’s time to fold the cooler down, resting it on the top inside the closed lid.

Regardless of the collapsible construction, the cooling efficiency is rather acceptable. Coleman assures between 48 and 64 hours of ice retention, which is two times the time compared to Ninja FrostVault and more or less comparable to Anker Solix EverFrost 2.
The 55-quart variation is priced at $240, while the 45- and 35-quart designs are priced at $220 and $200, respectively. In the meantime, Coleman has the bragging rights over making the world’s very first retractable hard cooler. How YETI or Igloo respond will be intriguing to see.
