Coolers have always been a bit of a necessary evil—great for keeping drinks cold, not so great when it comes to storage. The Coleman Snap ‘N Go Collapsible Hard Cooler changes all of that by doing something surprisingly simple: it nearly disappears when you’re not using it.

This is billed as the world’s first collapsible hard-sided cooler, combining the ice retention of a traditional rigid cooler with a design that folds down to roughly a third of its size in seconds. That means no more wrestling a bulky plastic box into your garage or trunk after a weekend trip. When it’s time to load up, it pops open in under 10 seconds and is ready to go.

Performance doesn’t take a back seat, either. With a fully insulated lid and body, the Coleman Collapsible Hard Cooler can keep it’s contents cold for up to 48–64 hours, depending on size and conditions. A removable, leakproof liner makes cleanup painless, and multiple size options (35, 45, and 55 quarts) cover everything from quick beach runs to full-blown tailgates. In short, it’s a smarter cooler—one that finally understands you don’t want your cooler to take up too much valuable garage real estate all year just to use it a few weekends.
