I had hopes for this as I first tried it in house. I slept on it for a night and it was great. I put it up again while at home once before taking it out and should have returned it. I didn’t sleep on it, just left it up and saw it deflated a little but dismissed it since Coleman’s states it’s natural for it to loose SOME air. I used it camping for the first time this weekend and within 1 hour, I woke up on the ground. Thankfully, I had 2 pads with me pictured here, otherwise I would have frozen. This is just 4 days after my return period and clearly I’m disappointed. I was so annoyed, I just threw it out at the camp, instead of hauling it home with me. I’ll stick with cots next time and will steer clear of Coleman.

I basically bought a brand new item I'll have to make repairs on before I ever used it. Set up is easy. It rained briefly and kept us dry. Good size for 2-3 people and a dog. Really like the screened in vestibule idea. Terrible quality control. Loose threads everywhere and a gaping hole near the main door zipper between the vestibule and main tent. Unacceptable from Coleman. I know if I return it I'll get push back because I had to use it. It came barely in time for my trip so I didn't get a chance to set it up prior to leaving or I would have never used it. People depend on these types of products to keep them dry and safe. I really have no tolerance for low QC when it comes to these types of goods. It's not an item where only esthetics count, it's a tool for survival in some cases.

This cooler is rugged, has two nice handles and large wheels for rolling it, and side handles to pick it up. Has drink cup holders on top, large capacity. I ordered this to help transport and keep foods frozen and cold for an 80th and 90th birthday event, here in summer hot beach area of Delaware. I was shocked when I opened it hours and hours later and the champagne bottles, water bottles were chilled and the opened ice bag was intact! Great price too!

I’ve used the bag twice in cold weather. It performs well, keeping you very comfortable. The texture of the bag’s interior is almost tacky. Leaves, twigs, string and lint stick to it. As other reviewers mention, it’s almost impossible to get the sleeping bag back into its carry bag. After the second attempt the bag shredded along the drawstring closure. I’ve filed a warranty claim after several attempts with Coleman and will update the review with their response..

I have several lanterns from Coleman that uses the tie style #21 Mantle. To be honest I always get them when the price drops dramatically and order 2-3 packs. The mantle is strong and not easy to go bad. I carry my lanterns in their bags and drive a min of 1-2 hours. Nothing happens and lids immediately. A low price item that you will always need as a backup. Satisfied and highly recommended

We really liked the quality of the sleeping bag for our camping trip! It was comfortable and warm but we CANNOT get it back into the bag. We followed the instructions for the “easy to use” drawstring like tie and it broke after our third failed attempt to get it to work. Now we cannot get the sleeping bag back in the bag. Very annoying. It’s not a compression bag at all, it’s just a bag with a zipper.

TL;DR. Aluminum body with o-rings. Single switch off/low/high. 50M is garbage, 250M is great for a AAA light. All of the 300+ series use AA batteries and are extremely bright with a useable low mode. Longer version: I am late Gen-X. I have had thousands of flashlights in my life, from the old lantern battery incandescent to very expensive rechargeable tactical LED models of recent years. I was a farmer, a military man for 20 years, search & rescue, mortuary affairs, Army Corps of Engineers, USFS ... I used lights. A lot. After all of that, I really wanted a simple, robust, quality flashlight. Luckily, I finally found it. Unfortunately, most of the models in this range have been discontinued. Once I found that out, I bought a dozen for myself and some for friends and family before I left this review. I will buy more. I wear a men's large glove. The 300M, 325M, 350M, and 425M all have a larger circumference for the 3 or 6 AA batteries and fit comfortably in my hand. They will likely feel bulky for anyone with small hands. For that, the 250M is a 3 AAA light and much more compact. The 50M is garbage. The first photo shows the models in the range I was able to get. From left to right are the 50M (1AAA), 250M (3AAA), 300M (3AA), 325M (3AA), 350M (6AA), and 425M (6AA). The 50M is regrettably dim and not good for much more than checking charts on the night rounds. There are better lights for that. The 250M is quite bright. For anyone looking for an inexpensive flashlight and isn't worried about needing more than an hour of runtime, it's pretty good. The 300M and 325M appear to share the same body. The 300M is rated at 350 lumens with a three hour runtime on high and the 325M is rated at 500 lumens with a two hour runtime. The 350M and 425M appear to share the same body, but the 425 is 27 grams heavier with a longer lens. The 350M is rated at 750 lumens for three hours on high and the 425M is rated at 625 lumens for three hours on high. I really liked the 350M, so I tested it against a Maglite 2D LED at six feet. The picture shows the Coleman 350M on the left and the Maglite on the right. The Maglite is now stored with our emergency lanterns. Then I tested the 350M with the included alkaline batteries against a 350M using Panasonic Eneloop rechargeable batteries. The 350M using rechargeable batteries was brighter, but it only lasted about 85 minutes before dimming considerably. I dropped all of them from six feet and saw no damage. All continued to function perfectly. The aluminum construction with O-rings and the plastic grip shield seem sturdy (IPX4 rated). I didn't crack any lenses by dropping them. They compare well to more expensive flashlights I've owned, but have a more traditional construction with a grippy sleeve on the lens end instead of a smashy tactical bezel. The wider lens structure would make them unwieldy for belt carry, but exceptional for anything around the farm or home. Small sized: 50M: 1 AAA battery. 75 lumens for 3 hours or 2 for 200. Garbage. 250M: 3 AAA batteries. 325 lumens for 1 hour or 4 for 200. Useful on high. Medium sized: 300M: 3 AA batteries. 350 lumens for 3 hours or 10 for 200. 325M: 3 AA batteries. 500 lumens for 2 hours or 10 for 200. (discontinued) Large sized: 350M: 6 AA batteries. 750 lumens for 2 hours or 20 for 200. (discontinued) 425M: 6 AA batteries. 625 lumens for 3 hours or 20 for 200. (discontinued) The extra long sizes have been discontinued and I can't find any NIB, so I left them off. If you're a grumpy gen-xer or older, like me, you'll probably like these. If you found this helpful, please rate my review. I like reviewing things and it helps me to know if they're helpful.

Great light for the price. Plan to use it on a future camping trip and for when the power goes out. I already had some D cell battery adapters that use AA batteries and wanted to try it. Works great and makes it a lot lighter than using traditional D cell batteries. I used these adapters that I also purchased on colemandiscount.com- 10 Pack AA to D Size Battery Spacer Converter Case, Sackorange D Size Battery Adapter Spacers Case for Rechargeable Battery

The chairs were received damaged! Refer to the dent and scratch that appeared gauged into the side table.

This is my first cooler! I needed a cooler to take more food and drinks for camping and fishing, and actually have insulated storage finally. Thought I would be paying twice as much for a cooler like this! Very happy with it! Arrived new

I finally took this out camping. Out of the box it is a nice looking, well made lantern. Before taking it camping I did a quick check to see if it worked, and it did. On my trip I used it and noticed it wasn't holding pressure so I had to pump it every 10-15 minutes and the light was fluctuating substantially, even after a couple hours of operation. I will do some research to fix it. I'm not fond of fixing new stuff. I am using K-1 kerosene and denatured alcohol.

I have been a Coleman lantern user since I bought my first liquid fuel Coleman lantern when I was in Boy Scouts in the 70s. That lantern always worked well and served me up until it was destroyed in a house fire last year. I still think liquid fuel is cheaper and more efficient, but this propane model is pretty good. It has extra large size mantles that put out an enormous amount of light. The mantles are still made of the same (silk?) material as the old ones, so once they are ash after the initial burning, they are very fragile. However, in their ashen state, they can last for a VERY long time since they don't really wear out. The only reason I ever have had to replace mantles was when I dropped or tipped over the lantern and they broke, or if I opened up the glass to clean it and accidentally bumped the mantle. This lantern folds up nicely and comes with a semi-hard carry case that zips up around it. It would have been nice to have a pocket on the case to store extra mantles and matches (in case the igniter doesn't work for some reason, and to light new mantles). Also, the carrying handle is attached to the lantern by a chain, presumably to keep it cooler by hanging down at the side. It's OK, but I would prefer a solid handle so the lantern doesn't swing around as much when you carry it. Otherwise, it's a great lantern, solid build quality and easily folds up for storage. Get extra mantles and a couple cylinders of propane and you are all set! (Note: in the pictures, I had not yet done the initial burn of the mantles)

I was hopeful because of the reviews mentioning this candle worked and the rim of the container was high enough to keep the wind from blowing out the candle. It arrived in a box to prevent damage, as opposed to a competing 4-letter name brand that just came loose without extra packaging to protect it from getting dented (it arrived dented), this Coleman candle arrived in good condition—until I opened the box it came in. The candle appeared to have been melted at least partially because it no longer was round like the can it goes in, the candle was slightly oblong and I immediately noticed NO WICKS to light the candle! I thought another reviewer was full of it, but this is how mine arrived. The wicks were stuck to the bottom of the can, and the top of the candle was smooth without any place for the wicks to stick out. How exactly am I supposed to get these wicks in the candle? The candle is useless to me, we need protection from mosquitoes and a wick less candle won’t do the job. It’s getting returned.

This sleeping bag is perfect for winter camping. I got into the sleeping bag in my room to try it and within a minute or so, I got hot, lol. My camping trip is not soon, but I wanted to try it lol. The size is about 33" x 75", and it is machine washable. I am petite size, so I can fit in it comfortably. My medium-built 6-foot son can fit comfortably too. My husky 6’1” husband can close the zip all the way but it’s hard for him to turn inside the sleeping bag. Two things that I have concerns about: 1. When I pulled the cords that are sewn on the bottom to secure the rolled-up bag with, they were too thin, and I got worried that they might come off. It was hard to hook one side onto the other side. I wish they were wide straps that fasten with clips that can be tightened like a compression sack. 2. It was hard to put it back in the bag because it was too big. Also, the air got trapped in the bottom part of the bag. If the bag were bigger and like a compression sack, it would be easier to put in. A tip for rolling up: Leave the bottom zip open when rolling up, so it will prevent the air from getting trapped on the bottom of the bag. And use your knee to keep the bag squeezed so it won't puff up too much. Just like when you roll up a foam sleeping pad.
