subject: The Valuable Role Of Coolers In Any Outdoor Escapade [print this page] Tents, clothes, cooking equipments, sleeping bags and backpacks- these are the common gears that you might think of when planning to go on an outdoor camping. Oftentimes, the importance of a cooler is obliterated by the other equipments. Coolers are as important as any other camping gear - maybe more important than the others. This is where your foods are kept and stored!
A cooler for any camping activity is not just any type of cooler. You have to find the one that can keep your food fresh and unspoiled. The quality of this equipment is paramount. One of the trusted brands is Coleman. This company has been tested, for so many years, on the durability and quality of their products. Even if your options are all made by Coleman, there are distinctions from one another. But the underlying common denominator of all their products is quality and durability.
Great variation can be found among the Coleman cooler products. There are designs that are intended to be carried and there are those that are wheeled. Another variable is in the size. This depends on the number of people in the camping and also the number of days to be spent outdoors. Size of this equipment is directly proportional to the number of people or number of days.
The Xtreme coolers are one of the best offering of the company, as far as chest models are concerned. These are made with extra insulation which means more useful time to preserve coldness of the beverage or foods. The Xtreme series can keep the ice for 5 days at an average temperature equal to 90 degrees Fahrenheit. A more sophisticated design is the Ultimate Xtreme which keeps the contents cold and preserved for 6 days at the same temperature of 90 degrees Fahrenheit. The secret for the long period of cold retention is the provision of 2 inches insulation.
There are many sizes for the chest cooler, ranging from as small as 36 quarts content to as big as 100 quarts. The Xtreme family has almost the same characteristics and features, except for the capacity. Usually, this is given in number of cans of beverages in the chest cooler.
The products, regardless of size, are made with environment friendly insulation - the Thermazone. This has no CFCs, HFCs and HCFCs. It is definitely rustproof and leak resistant.. There are hinged lid with deep beverage holders. Coleman is an American product.
Food is one necessity when you go outdoor camping. Your food has to be kept fresh, your beverages cold. You only need coolers.
