Coleman rechargeable Portable Blender

Four Styles to Fit Every Outing

The Coleman Rechargeable Portable Blender allows frozen drinks and other concoctions to be enjoyed in any setting. Perfect for hosting parties and gatherings almost anywhere or anytime, the blender makes 48 ounces of drink in about 30 seconds.

 

Four models suit every need – camping, tailgating, home and marine. Two 6-volt rechargeable batteries power all models with 20 to 30 batches per full charge of about ten hours. Fretting about forgetting the charging cord is not allowed. Each model includes a 120-volt and a 12-volt charger conveniently stored in the base of the blender for recharging at home or a vehicle.

 

The oversized push-button ON/OFF switch and LED battery level indicator, on all four models, makes operation a snap. The RoadTrip (tailgating), home and marine models have five LEDs to indicate charge status and a rubber base wrap for added stability. The camping model includes a two-LED charging indicator.

 

The four durable stainless steel blades can crush ice; make fresh fruit juice, blend soups, and mix specialty drinks. And for that perfect recipe, the impact-resistant 1 qt. pitcher has measurement lines and a pour spout. An easy twist of the lid lends access to three pour settings: open, close or strain. A twist of the pitcher locks it securely to the base for transport. Cleanup is almost as easy as mixing the drinks. Both the pitcher and the lid are hand-washable for hassle-free cleanup anywhere. A quick wipe with a wet cloth keeps the base clean.

 

Features Include:

• Road Trip Version

• Camping portable blender

• Powerful, chops ice and blends ingredients quickly

Coleman Classic Lantern

Great for a Christmas gift

Classic gear holds a special place in every outdoorsman’s heart. Veteran woodsmen will recall fondly myriad memories while neophytes will treasure the prospects when they unwrap a piece of equipment regarded as legendary.

 

This Christmas, give the time-tested Coleman Model 288 gas lantern, recently inducted into Field & Stream Magazine’s inaugural Hall of Fame for outdoor gear. Still manufactured in traditional forest green, this classic two-mantle lantern provides brilliant but adjustable light for family campsites, fishing excursions and hunt camps across the land. It is passed from generation to generation within some families.

 

Beyond its great outdoors DNA, a Coleman lantern is a fine emergency light when the electricity fails and outside lighting is needed. It is widely available, as are other liquid fuel Coleman lantern models.

 

About     $39.99                                                        Model 288

Coleman 4AA Pack-Away Lantern

Innovative design fits into palm of your hand

The Coleman 4AA Pack-Away Lantern is just 3 3/16" tall and weighs a mere handful of 8 oz for backpackers and other trekkers who value innovative performance in petite packages.

 

Its Pack-Away design allows it to telescope open to a height of nearly 5". Yet, it provides an uncommonly bright LED all-around illumination thanks to the technologically advanced Cree XLamp XR-E LED and a highly efficient conical reflector, which amplify the surprisingly bright 95 lumens of light.

 

It has about 12 hours of run time on the low setting and six hours on the brightest setting. The lantern also has an emergency strobe feature, which will run up to 75 hours on a fresh set of four AA batteries. The strobe setting is a great emergency tool like when you’ve broken down on the road, or want to get back to camp at night. It uses common AA batteries, so batteries can be interchanged with other electronic devices if necessary in an emergency.

 

A simple push-button control, large enough to find and use even when wearing gloves or mittens, is located on the top surface for easy operation. An automatic shutoff design ensures the light goes out when the lantern is closed, saving batteries and preventing accidental operation while in a pack. A bail handle can be flipped up to hang the lantern in a tent or from a limb, but the handle snaps in a closed position out of the way for other uses or stowage.

 

A shock-resistant and non-slip ABS outer shell is not only durable for the hard knocks prevalent in the field, it is also weather-resistant.

 

Features Include:

• Weights 8.3 oz. with batteries

• Exponent 4AA Pack-Away Lantern (included)

• Operates to 5 hours on high, 12 hours on low

• Multiple settings: High, low, emergency strobe

• Packs down to a super small size

• Extended size: 4. 8” x 1.5” x 2.6”

• Compact size – 3.2” x 1.5” x 2.6”

• Folding handle Nests against top cap

• Carabiner clip to hang

• Battery access by using coin to unlock

• Limited 5 year warranty

• Model # 4347-701
