Coleman 5 Gallon Water Carrier vs Igloo 5 Gallon Water Jug

Both are 5-gallon white plastic water carriers with a spigot, and both do the same basic job. The Coleman is the better documented product here: HDPE body, BPA-free, molded handle and handgrip, fast-flow spigot, made in the USA, and it holds about 80 8-ounce glasses. The Igloo is a cooler-style jug listed at 20 quarts with a 5-can capacity figure, so its water capacity and spigot details are less clear from the listing. For straight water hauling to a campsite or job site, pick the Coleman; pick the Igloo if you want a cooler-shaped jug and can confirm the spigot and lid setup before buying.

• Choose the Coleman 5 Gallon Water Carrier if you want a straightforward BPA-free HDPE water jug with a fast-flow spigot, a molded carry handle and a made-in-USA build.
• Choose the Igloo 5 Gallon Water Jug if you prefer a cooler-style 20-quart jug and have checked that its spigot and lid suit how you plan to dispense water.
