RR 85 review

Finally a cooler with the performance of a Yeti at a fraction of the empty weight, which means it will actually be used. I have a Yeti that sits in the garage cause it is too heavy empty much less loaded. The Rugged Road goes everywhere, including the cockpit of an offshore fishing boat ie constant direct sunshine, salt water spray and getting knocked around off and on on long fishing days and so far still looks new.

Good bye Yetti

If you are going to buy a high end cooler this should be your only choice. Keeps cold for a week, 1/4 of the weight.

OUR 3RD RR COOLER

These coolers are great. 5 stars all around! We already had 2 65 V2’s when we decided to add the 85 V2. Everything Rugged Road says about their coolers is correct. They’re much lighter than competitors but keep ice just as good. The double handle system and lid locking/closing lever are so easy to use even as we age. The cooler and all accessories are very well thought out. Keep up the good work!

Finally a lightweight heavy duty cooler

Very pleased with item. The only thing I don’t like is the way the lid separates from the hinges. I would really prefer if they permanently fixed the lid to the hinges. I can’t ever think of a reason I would want the lid to separate so I used adhesive to permanently fix my lid to the hinges.

What's up, Blain?! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback with us, we're glad to hear that you've been enjoying your cooler this summer! Our cooler lids are designed with our multi-faceted customers in mind. Some enjoy the convenience of cupholders while others can often be found sitting or standing atop their coolers. So, we designed a lid that could do both! It's awesome to hear that you've fashioned your cooler in a way that works best for you! Grateful for your support and to have you on the (rugged) road with us.

Awesome product

Love the whole cooler! Fits 85 cans and ice just like it says! Has a divider and basket for separating food from drinks will be extremely helpful when camping or boating! It’s worth the price! Much lighter than my other name brand coolers

Great Cooler

The cooler is sweet I love how light it is even with 85 beers and ice. BUTTTTTTTTTTTTT mine for sure does not float perfectly upright. It floats well enough but not like the pictures atleast mine doesnt. I am not complaining just being honest.
