Grabbed me a "new" cooler from a thrift for $7 Canadian, Coleman PolyLite 40, amusingly when googling for info I see "Vintage polylite 40 cooler" for sale in a few classifieds, $15 up... then I dig for ads in old magazines on google books and whaddaya know, yeah, made in the 70s and 80s so guess it is a bit vintage now. Funny though, you don't expect plastic things to be more than a few years old.
Anyhooooooooooooo.... was trying to get some idea of what performance expectations should be, is this a picnic cooler, a weekender, or might go longer? Made some while before they started doing separate ranges of products for those functions..... and dang, ain't regular coolers some kinda pricy now, c'mon, it's 2 totes with some foam sammiched between.... Well back in the day they weren't too cheap either, think we had a cheap spell late 90s to 2010 or something.
Well whatever's going on there, seem to have done alright for "any" cooler new or old usable at that price. Only a few scuffs on the outside, inside nice and clean. Nice size, not too huge. Might make it it's own little jacket of reflectix or something similar, just to get that little extra out of it.
So anyone had one? They sound popular.
Mine's cleaner, but it looks like this....
