Our coolers are engineered to be ultra-lightweight, meaning you can carry them without breaking a sweat. At less than half the weight of the competition, you’ll be able to travel down your next Rugged Road with ease.
Sure, lots of coolers float, but ours float upright, even when fully loaded. No more fishing around in the water for your drinks. Our ultralight coolers are just what you need to keep your essentials dry and accessible, even when your adventure takes an unexpected turn.
Meet the toughest coolers on the market. Our Rigorite™ coating, originally developed for military applications like blast-proofing the Pentagon, makes our ultralight coolers strong enough to support the weight of an entire Jeep. Its tough construction makes it durable enough to last a lifetime.
Thanks to our Fridgite™ insulative technology, your ice stays icy for up to 7 days. Whether you're on a week-long camping trip or an extended fishing expedition, you can keep your food and beverages cold throughout your trip.

"We have tried what feels like all the coolers on the market and Rugged Road Coolers are hand down our favorite coolers...The ice retention is not only competitive to other cooler brands but better. We have put this to the TEST here in Utah during the summer. Yes, it truly floats upright every time! I recommend these to everyone!"
"Absolutely love this cooler! Went from 3 Yetis and now ready to buy my second rugged cooler! The weight of the cooler is probably the biggest difference as well as a floating cooler that keeps everything cold throughout the day! Can’t complain at all! Absolutely wins over Yeti!"
"I love this cooler. It's light weight which really is so awesome! AND it floats!!! It's so nice to be able to lift this cooler up onto my boat and not worry about hurting my back. It's durable which allows me to also use it as a stand on the boat when I'm sight fishing. All around is perfect for my needs, like I said It's a game changer."
"We love this cooler. It’s super lightweight, love that it holds 45 cans plus ice and best of all it floats. We do a lot of outdoor activities and having a lightweight & durable cooler is key. We look forward to using it on all our adventures."
"A fantastic lightweight and durable cooler that doesn’t make any sacrifices. Large capacity is capable of holding several dozen cans and plenty of food items while keeping the ice for several days. The roped handles make it very easy to carry compared to most other coolers."
