  • A high efficiency cooler that is efficiently sized.
Color: Dark Grey & Cool Grey
A great cooler alternative to you-know-who sasquatch brand! The same value for considerably less cost. This cooler is very light weight for it's size (32 Qt) and is so well designed it holds as much as the 55 Qt blowmold cooler it replaced. Efficiently built. Very sturdy and well-built. Seals nice and tight, yet the rubber locking bands are easy to engage and disengage. Has a variety of color choices, and the gray matched my off-roader interior perfectly. Holds cold well as my catch stayed frozen solid on a trip back south from Lake of the Woods. Has two drain plugs, one on each side; and bottom channels that function to drain any melt-water effectively regardless of which way it faces. ... show more

  • Best cooler I've owned
Color: Dark Grey & Cool Grey
This thing is lightweight, seals nicely, and holds things cold forever! I bought one and recieved it on a Wednesday, put ice jn it immediately. Then got and ice cream cake on a Saturday, ice still in tact, and it kept the ice cream solid as a rock. Left the same ice in it, and kept drinks cold all week. Same ice! Impressive! ... show more

  • Quality as expected: RTIC Ultra-Light 32 Quart
Color: Dark Grey & Cool Grey
I purchased the RTIC Ultra-Light 32 Quart hoping to get a top quality cooler that would hold my food well on long trips. The price was way cheaper than other similar coolers. It feels well built with the lock downs, insulation and general attention to detail. Test: I ran two tests with this cooler; one to see about the leaking concern I saw other reviews mention in regard to the two drain plugs, and my other test was for simple ice longevity (I did no pre cooling or any of the suggested methods to make ice last the longest). - plug test: I hand tightened the plugs and then added a layer of ice above the plug holes and let it sit for a few days. No water leaked out of the plugs. - ice longevity test: I did a very simple no preparation test of the cooler: just simply drove it down to Costco and picked up a 24lb bag of ice, filled it and closed the cooler. The 24 lb bag is the perfect size to fit food leaving about 15-20% space at the top (basically just touching the basket). I kept the cooler in my living room at room temperature. I did not open the cooler until exact day 3. At day 1 I shook the cooler and could feel very little water or ice movement. At day two I shook the cooler and could feel a little sloshing of water but most of the ice solid. At day to three I opened the cooler (pictured) and could see half the cooler with ice and half in water. At day four I shook it and would feel about 15%~20% if the ice left. All together, I feel this cooler will take care of my needs in being able to hold food for several days without needing more ice. It looks good and fits well in my vehicle. Update: I have since taken the RTIC on a 4 day trip. We made meals ahead of time and froze them. We filled the cooler with our frozen meals to the top (no ice). The frozen food stayed frozen for all 4 days. It worked perfectly. I didn’t need to buy any ice or anything. We were even able to add in groceries we bought. I only finally got ice for the drive home with leftovers. It worked better than expected for my needs. I highly recommend it. ... show more

  • Great cooler, right price, right size
Color: White & Grey
We got this cooler to replace a 50qt cooler from a similar company. The 50qt cooler worked great but was heavy and hard for my wife to move or carry when full. We switched to this 32qt from Rtic and we are very happy with it. It is well made, stays cold, and is just the right size for us. Just after receiving it we did four days of camping and it stayed cold the entire trip without adding ice. We pre-cooled the cooler the night before with ice which helps quite a bit. As an experiment, after returning, I left what ice and cold water remained in the cooler. On day 6 the last bit of ice was melted but the water was still very cold. It performed as well as I'd hoped. The following weekend we hosted a birthday party and used the cooler to store drinks. We only needed it to be cold for a few hours so there was no issue there. It was really nice to be able to easily carry it around and fit it in more vehicles than out 50qt. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another cooler from Rtic. ... show more

  • ghtweight hard cooler that’s been a great fit for our pop-up camper so far
Color: White & Grey
What I bought this for: I purchased this cooler because our pop-up camper doesn’t have a working refrigerator. I did a lot of research and was looking for something comparable in performance without paying for a Yeti. What I like: • Lightweight and easy to move compared to other hard coolers • Good size for camper and weekend use • Feels well-built and durable • Keeps items cold for regular use so far • Nice alternative to more expensive brands What could be better: We haven’t tested it yet in extreme heat, so I can’t speak to long-term ice retention in very hot conditions. After using it: So far, we’ve been very happy with the purchase. It’s worked well for our needs and fits nicely into our camper setup. Would I recommend it? Yes. If you’re looking for a lightweight hard cooler and want something comparable to higher-priced options, this is a solid choice, especially for camper use. ... show more

  • Would buy again!
This cooler is the first cooler that is truly lightweight even when filled with ice and drinks/food. We took this cooler camping and it stayed cold the entire weekend. Ice did melt but lasted longer compared to our other brand coolers. It was definitely worth the money. I would recommend sticking with lighter color coolers as they reflect sunlight versus absorbing it like the dark colors do. I have found the ice stays longer in the lighter colors! ... show more
