It all started when W.C. Coleman invented the first portable, gas-powered lantern over 120 years ago. Those lanterns illuminated the first evening football game west of the Mississippi—and in WWII, soldiers parachuted into Europe with our camping stoves in their backpacks. We continued to revolutionise the outdoors with our cooler manufacturing in the 1950s, and in the decades that followed we added tents, sleeping bags, lighting, and more.

At Coleman, we believe that when people connect in the outside anything is possible. We also believe that the outside is a place for everyone. Built from 120 years of experience, Coleman inspires human connections to each other and the outdoors, in an effort to restore, redefine and reimagine a better tomorrow—for everyone.
