Ultra-Light 52 Quart Hard Cooler Insulated Portable Ice Chest Box for Beach, Drink, Beverage, Camping, Picnic, Fishing, Boat, Barbecue, 30% Lighter Than Rotomolded Coolers

After reading through reviews, I bought this cooler for a recent 3 day camping trip in the desert. Kept the food and drinks in the old coolers and ice bags in the Rtic. Each day we moved ice from this cooler to the other coolers to replace the melted ice. Keeping it shut, except for moving ice over, helped a lot in the 90+ degree weather. We were in and out of the other coolers all day long and ice didn't last very long. On the way home we moved the drinks into the Rtic with the remaining ice. Cooler looks great and kept ice for 3 days in the desert sun. Great cooler.

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.

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.

Outstanding! Looks great and stays crazy cold! Threw some Ice Packs, beverages, and food in this and headed out on the boat in 85 degree weather on a Saturday morning. By noon the water bottles were freezing and my N/A beer had ice crystals in it. 😮 Left the cooler in the boat overnight and headed out again on Sunday, ice packs still frozen solid and kept everything cold again for another day on the water. Really happy with the purchase.

The cooler cools and keeps ice as advertised - for Days! The top of the cooler cracked which totally surprised me. I am not sure how it happened but it did (we do travel/camp with it). I contacted product support and sent a picture of the cooler. They immediately shipped a replacement cooler and said that it's not supposed to crack. Didn't ask how, just fixed the issue. Obviously what happened is an anomaly, and they replaced it right away. For the price, I would put this up against a YETI any day! Great job RTIC!
