About Coleman
At Coleman, we believe that time spent outside reconnects people with each other and the planet, creating a path to a better tomorrow. It all started with W.C. Coleman inventing the portable, gas-powered lantern over 120 years ago. Those lanterns illuminated the evening football game west of the Mississippi. And in WWII, soldiers parachuted into Europe with our camping stoves in their backpacks. We continued to revolutionize the outdoors with our cooler manufacturing in the 1950s, and in the decades that followed we added tents, sleeping bags, lighting, and more.
