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...

Great 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!

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!

Awesome 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.

Gave this to husband/Dad for Father’s Day. He has loved it. Great quality and service from CS team.

Hi Kathy, Thank you for supporting our growing business - we're so stoked to hear that your dad is loving his cooler!

Great Purchase!
Favorite features are the light weight and easy carry handles. We only wish we had gone one size larger

Great 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!

Great 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.

Outstanding!
I went camping for a week with my RR45 and Yeti Tundra side-by-side. They are essentially the same size and cooling efficiency, but the RR45 wins in many other categories. It's much lighter, much easier to open and close, and the flip-top was useful for a couple of meals. Very happy with my purchase.

Review - 45V2
Overall the item is great BUT I wish now I would have ordered the 65 as the 45 will not close when loaded with typical water bottles or taller drink containers. But the fact that it floats upright, even with the waves in the Gulf is great.

Great weight
Really like the weight of this cooler. I can handle getting it the car when filled all by myself. I will be buying the larger one soon!

It’s awesome
Perfect to tie to the pontoon when floating! Works just as good as our Yeti and it floats

Hey Jeff! Thanks for sharing your thoughts. The ability to float upright is one of our favorite features - so glad it comes in handy for you!
