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...

Rugged Road Outdoors
Hi, Allan, thank you for the awesome review! We love hearing that your cooler has become the ultimate work buddy. :)
United StatesSuper Convenient!
The Rugged Road 45 V2 Cooler has been a game changer! I am always going on little road trips and this cooler is the perfect size. The light weight of the cooler makes it so convenient to take it with anywhere and everywhere you need to!
Rugged Road Outdoors
Hi, Caitlyn! We are so glad to hear you think our RR 45 V2 cooler has been a game changer! That means a lot to us, we really appreciate the kind words. Thanks!
United StatesLove my Rugged Road Cooler!
I love my Rugged Road cooler! I have had it for several months now and it is great - I can't believe how lightweight it is. I am not a very strong person, so it can be a struggle carrying a full cooler, but with this one I am able to carry it no problem! I mostly use it for drinks / cans and it always keeps them cold for several days, even when it is warm outside. When I am camping, I don't have to change the ice for several days which makes it so much easier to have cold food and drinks. Highly recommend purchasing this cooler!
Rugged Road Outdoors
Hi, Kelly! We are so glad you are enjoying your lightweight cooler and are using it on your camping adventures. We're stoked to be a part of your camping essentials. Thank you so much for sharing your feedback!
United StatesThey stand by their warranty
I have. Bought one of their coolers from my local Outdoors dealer Had it for about six months Started to crack on the bottom. Didn't think much of it. Decided to call out of curiosity to see if they would cover it. And no questions asked sent me a brand new 45 cooler. Will definitely buy from them again.

United StatesBest cooler I’ve ever owned!
I’ve owned every major cooler on the market at one point or the other, and this one is hands down the best! The cooler I received had one little mark that you had to look extra hard to see. Only regret is that I didn’t by two of them.

Purchased 4 of these in different colors, on sale, as Christmas gifts for my sons/son-in-laws, filled them with misc small items their families would like, & put them under the tree. They loved them & were impressed with the lightness, quality, & float feature. (Especially my fisherman son). HoHoHo
