- Top-Tier Insulation: Genuinely keeps ice for days, a must-have for multi-day events.
- No Drain Plug: You have to tip it to drain, which can be awkward when full.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
"The Wandering Spirit Co.", a mobile bar company based in the Cotswolds, needed a more reliable cooler solution for outdoor weddings after their old units failed to cope with the summer heat.
"Our old coolers just couldn't handle a full summer's day. The Coleman keeps everything ice-cold from the first toast to the last dance. It's one less thing to worry about on a hectic day."
Ben Carter – Owner
The business has eliminated drink spoilage on hot days and can now confidently serve perfectly chilled prosecco all event long, boosting customer satisfaction and their professional reputation.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before first use, give the inside a quick wipe with a mild soap and water solution and let it air dry.
- For best results, pre-chill the cooler with a sacrificial bag of ice for a few hours before loading it.
- Pack items tightly and fill any empty space with more ice to maximise cold retention. A 2:1 ice-to-contents ratio is ideal.
- Ensure the latches are securely fastened to create an airtight seal and lock the cold in.
Keeping It Going
- After each use, empty any melted water and wipe the interior dry to prevent mildew.
- Clean the liner with a soft cloth and non-abrasive cleaner. The antibacterial additive helps, but regular cleaning is key.
- For tough odours, a solution of bicarbonate of soda and water left overnight can work wonders.
- Store your cooler with the lid slightly ajar in a cool, dry place to allow air to circulate and keep it fresh.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How many cans can the Coleman 28 litre convoy cooler hold?
A: It can typically hold around 36 standard 330ml cans, but this will vary depending on how much ice you pack in with them.
Q: Is the lid strong enough to sit on?
A: Yes, the heavy-duty construction of the lid means it can comfortably be used as a handy seat when you need a quick break.
Q: What is the best way to pack the cooler for maximum ice retention?
A: For best results, pre-cool the cooler, use a mix of block ice (which melts slower) and cubed ice (which cools items faster), and fill as much empty air space as possible.
Q: Can I use dry ice in this cooler?
A: Yes, hard-sided coolers like this are generally suitable for use with dry ice. Ensure it's wrapped in cardboard or newspaper to prevent direct contact with the inner liner.
Q: How does the antibacterial liner actually work?
A: It's an additive that's mixed into the plastic liner during the manufacturing process. It's not a spray or coating, so it won't wear off and works continuously to inhibit the growth of odour-causing bacteria.
Q: Is the rope handle durable?
A: Absolutely. It's designed for heavy loads and daily use, combining flexibility with a strong, comfortable rubber grip.
Q: How should I clean the outside of the cooler?
A: A simple wipe down with a damp cloth and a spot of mild detergent is all that's needed to keep the exterior looking clean and professional.
Q: Is this cooler easy for one person to carry?
A: Yes, at 4kg empty and with its single rope handle, it's designed for one-person portability. It will naturally get heavier when fully loaded.

It's a workhorse designed to reduce stress and operational headaches, allowing you to focus on what you do best: delivering a fantastic experience for your customers.
Explore more from ColemanMore Than Just Cold: How the Antibacterial Liner Protects Your Stock
Ever noticed that musty smell that coolers can get over time? That's caused by bacteria thriving on moisture and tiny food spills. The antibacterial liner in this Coleman cooler tackles that problem head-on. Think of it like having a silent, built-in cleaning assistant. An additive is permanently moulded into the plastic itself, which actively prevents these microbes from growing. This means it's not a coating that will wear off. The result is a more hygienic space for your food, fewer stubborn smells to scrub out, and greater peace of mind that you're meeting food safety standards, even on the go.
