  • Great cooler that stays cold for 4+ days!
Color: Deep Harbor/RTIC Ice
I bought this to use when I go camping with my travel trailer. I don't run the fridge on propane while driving as I have extended daily drives around 10 hours at a time so I couldn't leave the items that need to stay cold in the fridge as they would spoil. This cooler did great at maintaining the ice that I started off with for four days and I am thrilled with that. The rope handles and ability to grab around each side of the cooler make lifting and carrying easy. The dual drain plugs work great to dump the water when you're done. I also like that the lid stays open unlike a Coleman unit that I have that won't stay open. I've not experience any leaking, always a plus! My only real gripe with this unit is that I wish that it came with storage baskets for the top that I had to buy separately. The ability to segregate your items and keep them dry up top is very handy. I used it to store lunch meats, cheeses and condiments to be able to easily pull the basket out and make lunch while at a rest area. I would have gladly paid a little more for that convenience if Rtic had offered it. Great unit and worth the price compared to others currently available. ... show more

  • Meets Expectations
Color: Sage/Beach
I bought the RTIC Ultra-Light 52-quart cooler (w/o wheels). I haven't used it yet, but based on close inspection and appearances, it is exactly what I expected and am so far pleased. The sage green color was on sale and we love it! As advertised, it is well-designed and the workmanship appears excellent. No errors detected. The double drains are a great idea. The screw in plugs are well seated and are attached. I have also bought the tray and the divider. One important selling point for me was that RTIC sells a good number of the replacement parts, so this cooler should last for years and survive any abuse we subject it to. Also, it was shipped directly from RTIC in Texas, and arrived well-packed and in excellent condition. We plan to use it during a road trip in August where I want the food to stay cool (no more than 40 degrees) for 2-3 days in the car (twice) without my having to spend hours each evening repacking the cooler and recharging the ice packs. I will be running a test in the coming weeks and will report my findings! ... show more

  • Great to keep items cold
Color: Patriot
This brand of coolers are awesome. We have tried so many over the years . But this is a keeper!! Great storage capacity, seals tightly, and most importantly keeps everything cold for several days . Very durable and would not hesitate to purchase again if needed. We even bought a smaller version for day trips or overnight/weekend trips, our drinks were still cold at end of weekend with ice still In it, but melting. ... show more

  • Tired of coolers with zippers that don't work .
Color: Dark Grey & Cool Grey
It is large and if you fill it to capacity it will take two people to handle . Other than than it stays cold for a long time and will not slide in a boat or the back of a van.

  • GREAT cooler
Color: Trailblazer
I rarely give 5 stars but this cooler is worth it. Very light and easy to carry, load into a vehicle. Keeps items within it cold for at least 3 days without adding ice. Works as well as the ridiculously-priced Yeti.

  • Awesome little cooler
Color: Patriot
We love this cooler. Items stay cold, ice stays cold for 24-48 hours. It doesn't leak. The rubber things for the lid do not stay shut when we rolled the side by side but I guess it was not built for this. However I would love those to maybe snap in a different way. Other than that we are happy with the cooler. Its the perfect size for the back of the side by side. I also wish it had a little basket that would come in it for items we do not want down in the ice. I know that I can order one seperate but I feel it should come with it. ... show more

  • VERY COOL
Color: Trailblazer
The best cooler I have ever owned! The lid seals really really well, in fact so well when you close the lid a small under pressure is created as the air is cooled. This does make it a little difficult to open again right away but opening the drain to equal the pressure solves it. Part of the problem is there's no easy way to hold down the cooler while pulling up on the lid. My other small small small complaint is the rope handles, I rather they were more stable but I can live them, I love this cooler! ... show more
