Why this gift works

The Coleman 62-Quart Wheeled Cooler holds 62 quarts, which Coleman lists as 101 cans, and the maker rates its ice retention at up to 6 days at 90 degrees. It has heavy-duty wheels, swing-up handles, a tethered drain plug and four cup holders molded into the lid, and the Have-A-Seat lid supports up to 250 pounds. It measures 28.2 by 15 by 18 inches and weighs 14.7 pounds empty.

A tailgate runs on cold water and soft drinks, and a big cooler on wheels makes the walk from the car easy. The lid doubles as a seat when the chairs run out.

Who is this gift for?

Great for

  • A tailgate host
  • A family that camps
  • Backyard game days

Think twice if

  • They lack storage space
  • They want a premium rotomolded cooler

The catch

It weighs 14.7 pounds empty and much more with ice, the ice-retention figure is an 'up to' claim under Coleman's test conditions, it has a 1-year warranty, and the listing's color is not clear, so check it before buying.

Skip if they have little storage space or already own a big cooler.

What to look for in a tailgate cooler

  • Capacity. 62 quarts suits a group; smaller coolers suit two people.
  • Extras. A seat-strength lid and drain plug are handy at a tailgate.
