- Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2025Color: PatriotVerified PurchaseThis 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.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2025Color: TrailblazerVerified PurchaseI 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.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2024Color: TrailblazerVerified PurchaseIf you want a great cooler that works as well as , if not better than the higher priced coolers- this is your brand. This is excellent quality and great at keeping temperature. Be warned it is a heavy cooler. We take it camping and use it for our food. No problems - would recommend

- Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2025Color: Dark Grey & Cool GreyVerified PurchaseGreat product for the price and keeps things cold or warm as needed. Great purchase!
- Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2024Color: TrailblazerVerified PurchaseThis cooler is great! Took this for the first time camping. Put ice in Friday morning, still had ICE in it Monday evening and into Tuesday. Quality is great and functional. Love the built in drain and bottle opener. 4/5 stars because the inside is slightly smaller than you'd expect when looking how big it is, but nothing drastic. Also 1 star off because of price. You get what you pay for, and I'm still pleased I purchased this, but a cooler still shouldn't ever be this damn expensive IMO.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2025Color: Deep Harbor/RTIC IceVerified PurchaseThis cooler is well insulated yet not as heavy as others. Surprisingly it comes several fun colors.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2022Color: White & GreyVerified PurchaseI want to say I bought this cooler as an early Father's Day gift for my husband, for his landscaping company. However I am going to have to be honest and say after having to fill in with him when he needed help, I 100% bought this cooler for me.
Let me set the scene. North Carolina, June 9, 2022, 10:00, already swamp butt heat (90°). Old school beat up cooler in the bed of the truck with one bag of ice. By 13:00, ice was gone. By 17:30 water was warm. 19:30 I NEEDED cold water and there was none to be found.
That night I ordered the RTIC.
The following Wednesday we had the RTIC cooler loaded, 2 bags of ice, 12 bottle waters, a case of cokes, and ready for the day. 93° day and the cooler set out in the sun ALL. DAY. By 20:00 there was still ice, but it didn't look like it was going to make it for the entire day. The next morning all the ice was gone, however the water was still ice cold. Husband is convinced we are sending the cooler back, but I am still standing my ground, we're keeping it.
Fast forward to Sunday...and me completely forgetting about the cooler, with it's cokes and waters, still sitting in the back of the truck. I randomly walk out to get something out of the bed, see it, and decide to reach in and see how it looking.....y'all .... COLD WATER. Like out of a refrigerator cold.
We had some near record high temps in NC this past week. Wednesday 95°, Thursday 96°, Friday 97°. This cooler held its own. I was beyond impressed that the drinks are as cold as the are. The husband has completely changed his mind and wants to keep the cooler.... and now we're fighting over who's cooler it actually is.
10 out of 10, this cooler understands the assignment.
