worth it

This is my first - and probably last - high performance cooler. Last, because it is as durable as advertised, it is easy to handle, has good interior organization, and insulates very well. We just took it out for it's first 3-day weekend. Admittedly it was not hot at 5,000' but I used a single block of ice, plus some cubes for drinks, and even when we got home everything inside was ice cold. We didn't even have it packed full; there was a fair amount of air space in it which usually leads to melting. So yes, this is worth the $$.

Weight

Love the cooler. Comparable to the Yeti 45 but the weight is so much less. We store gear in the basement and the stairs are narrow. Carrying this cooler down is so much easier than carrying the Yeti down.

Excellent cooler!

It’s light and roomy and I LOVE the snack tray. The only thing I don’t like is that the foam outside the cooler gets hot super fast if the sunshine hits it at all. Keep it in the shade and it’s good. It might be the dark blue color I chose, but I am impressed overall and have recommended the cooler to others.

Hey there, Kasonda! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us your feedback! We're thrilled to hear your cooler has quickly become a summer essential. :) While the exterior of our darker coolers can become warm to the touch if left in the direct sunlight for an extended period of time, these coolers will retain ice just as long as the competition! Grateful to have you on the (rugged) road with us...let us know if there is any way we can support you moving forward.

Quality Cooler!

I bought this to replace my yeti and save some weight on my charter boat. It’s really well made and holds ice fine. I added some padded feet using marine decking (peel and stick traction pad) works perfect. Definitely recommended this product!

65 V2

Really like the cooler weight and size. Definitely floated upright at the lake. Only drawback is that it does not seal completely with the lid and water leaked out as we carried back up from the lake. Kept everything nice and cold though.

Rugged Road Outdoors

Hey there, David! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave your honest feedback. Our cooler lids are not 100% water tight and therefore are not advertised as such. This is due to the rough texture of the Rigorite coating on our coolers. The addition of the gasket on our V2 coolers has significantly reduced the ability of water to seep out, as well as strengthened our cooler's ice life. This is how your cooler was able to power through the summer heat and keep your contents ice cold! Don't hesitate to let us know if there is anything else we can do for you down the road, our team is always eager to assist!
