Coming in at less than half the weight of the competition with similar ice retention, the Rugged Road 45 is unlike anything else on the market.
So, how have we managed to create the Ultralight High-Performance cooler that does not sacrifice quality or ice retention? The secret is in the Rigorite™ coating. Rigorite™ is an innovative proprietary spray that was originally developed for many military applications, including bomb-proofing the walls of the Pentagon. It is strong enough to support the weight of an entire Jeep and tough enough to survive a drop off a mountainside.

Why You'll Love the Rugged Road 45
Coming in at just 9 pounds empty, the Rugged Road 45 is unlike anything else out there. We have ditched the thick, heavy, plastic rotomolded coolers and created our own unique, patented process. You can now have the best of both worlds with extreme ice retention and durability, but without the weight.
We designed our Rugged Road cooler in a way that allow it to float upright, every time. Yes, that means even when it is fully loaded with ice and drinks!
Our patent pending Kick Flip™ lid gives you the ability to choose whether you'd like the top of your cooler to feature a field measuring ruler, or cup holders and a cutting board. It also allows for easy cleaning!
The ultra-thin, high performance Fridgite™ insulating core of a Rugged Road 45 enables the cooler to have extreme ice retention and an incredibly lightweight structure.
Open our coolers and you will instantly notice that the inside has significantly more room than the competition. Our patented manufacturing process has allowed us to do away with those thick plastic walls without sacrificing insulation, meaning you can fit more ice, drinks, and food in your cooler than ever before. And yes, it will fit a bottle of wine upright.
You have two ways to lift your Rugged Road cooler: either with the dual padded rope handles or with the integrated grip handles.
The secret behind the incredibly lightweight (yet extremely strong) Rugged Road cooler is its revolutionary coating of Rigorite™ innovative proprietary spray. Rigorite™ is sprayed over a high density, insulative core where it hardens into an exceptionally strong protective shell. This remarkable material has even been used to coat building walls in order to make them bomb-proof!
The Rigorite™ coating on a Rugged Road cooler is textured (unlike the plastic surface of a rotomolded cooler), meaning it naturally provides a non-slip surface!

Virtually Indestructible Rigorite™ Coating.
Cavernous Cooler Space
Open any roto-molded cooler and the first thing you notice is how thick the cooler walls are and how little space this leaves for ice and contents. The Rugged Road 45 is different. Its cavernous design gives you far more useable space. In fact, roto-molded coolers with similar exterior dimensions have an interior capacity of about 38 cans. While you'll fit 45 cans in your Rugged Road 45!
The only cooler that floats upright.
What Our Customers Are Saying...
United StatesA fantastic cooler
This is a fantastic cooler. I purchased it from the scratch and dent sale. It took me about 3 minutes to find what they considered an imperfection. Clearly they are extremely fussy about quality. The performance of their cooler is as advertised. If you’re thinking about a cooler, this is the one.
Rugged Road Outdoors
Hi Bruce! Thanks for taking some time to share your experience with us. We're so glad the cooler has surpassed your expectations :) If you need anything down the road, don't hesitate to give us a shout!
United StatesGreat for the front of a Rivian
Fits in the Rivian front trunk area and doesn’t slide around. The lid will close without worry where it is. As far as a cooler, it’s great quality and stays cold for days. Not sir how long but was great after 3 days.
Rugged Road Outdoors
Hi Michael! Thanks for taking a minute to tell us about your experience. So glad it's a great fit for you (and your Rivian!)

United StatesExceptional Coolers! Great product Support & Customer Support
I've had the 65 V1 for few years and love the light weight, toughness & performance. I also own 3 different sizes of the RTIC coolers and just got tired of the weight of them before even loading them.... so gave Rugged Road a try and have never looked back!!! My 65 V1 is my gets banged around in my Jeep & boat constantly and takes it all like a champ! Just got this 45 V2 and the V2 upgrades are fantastic!!! If your tired of heavy, empty coolers that weigh more than the ice & stuff you put in them.....Time to change to these Rugged Roads! You will not be disappointed... plus their product support & customer service is exceptional! Lance T. Colorado

Hi Lance! Thank you for being a long-time supporter of our growing business - it means the world to us! It's great to hear that our products are exactly what you've been looking for :) and we will be sure to pass your kind words along to the customer service team!
United StatesGreat light weight cooler!
So far love the cooler, just wish it had some way for you to install a lock in order to lock it in the back of the truck!
Rugged Road Outdoors
Hi Michael! Thank you for the kind words and support :) You'll be happy to hear that we will be releasing our very own tie down kit very soon, keep an eye out!
United StatesAwesome sized cooler.
The cooler was as good as expected. I have had RR coolers from their inception before anyone could buy one. I let one get too close to the crawfish burner and melted it. I purchased this cooler to replace the melted one. The only caution I had is that RR changed the sizing from Quarts to Can volume so don’t be thrown off. A 45 from RR holds 45 12oz cans not quarts. It is not near as big.
United StatesRugged Road 45
Gave this to husband/Dad for Father’s Day. He has loved it. Great quality and service from CS team.
Rugged Road Outdoors
Hi Kathy, Thank you for supporting our growing business - we're so stoked to hear that your dad is loving his cooler!
United StatesGreat Purchase!
Favorite features are the light weight and easy carry handles. We only wish we had gone one size larger
United StatesGreat cooler
This is much lighter and holds more than our current cooler. It keeps drinks cold all day on the boat. We are very happy with our purchase!
United StatesGreat cooler
It is everything it was promoted to be. I only wish I would of gotten a taller one I have to lay my bottles down.
