Here at Taste of Home, we’re well acquainted with the best coolers. In fact, we’ve evaluated more than a dozen options over the years, and that’s just counting the hard, rotomolded coolers we’ve tried. Normally, our testing criteria considers things like ice retention, weight, leakage, drainage, capacity, insulation, maneuverability and accessories. But now, we have a new data point to think about: collapsibility.

Coleman recently released the world’s first hard-sided collapsible cooler, which is a total game-changer for those of us in snowy states. Instead of taking up precious storage space for half the year, this handy camping cooler folds almost completely flat. The revolutionary design makes it ideal for storing in a car trunk or sliding onto a slim garage shelf when fire pit and grilling season ends.

So, how does it work? We did some digging to see what the Coleman Snap ‘N Go Cooler is all about.

Short on space? This folding cooler stashes away into tight spaces during the off season!

What is the Coleman Snap ‘N Go collapsible cooler?

The Coleman Snap ‘N Go Cooler was released on March 17, 2026, announcing itself as the very first collapsible hard cooler on the market. It comes in three sizes, including 35-quart, 45-quart and 55-quart options. The cooler holds 64, 76 or 93 cans, depending on the size. It also keeps drinks cold for up to 64 hours, which is far longer than a comparably easy-to-stow soft cooler.

The biggest appeal of the Coleman Snap ‘N Go Cooler is by far its simple, collapsible construction. In seconds, the cooler folds down to nearly 1/3 of its size, making it easy to slide under a couch, onto a shelf, or under a car seat—you name it. Inside the cooler is a waterproof layer that prevents leakage and helps with insulation. The exterior comes in three cool-toned colors: Blue Sky, Mussel and Sapphire.

Once we get our hands on it for testing, we easily foresee this becoming one of our trusted summer essentials. It would also make a pretty snazzy Father’s Day gift.
