GREAT COOLER!!

We just joined a boat club and needed a cooler for the many times we'll be out cruising. Our kids came into town, we booked a pontoon boat, ran over to Cook's in Venice just in time to pack it with ice, drinks and food. It really holds a lot. The flip lid is a great plus. And it floats!! We are very happy with our Rugged Road cooler. It is getting a lot of use.

Don't hesitate to give us a shout if there is anything we can do to support you as a valued customer. :)

One Tough Cooler!

I am writing this say this is one tough cooler! I took my cooler with me to float on the river. Unfortunately, a tree at the camp ground fell across the bed of my truck trapping the cooler under my crushed bed cover. Once the tree was finally removed from my truck, the cooler was removed and is still in good condition. It only sustained minor damage. I just thought I would share this with you.

Excellent design and durability

I really like how light weight these ice chests are. They also keep ice frozen for just as long or even longer than my other high end chests. Also, customer service is excellent!

Worked as Advertised

Came across this cooler & decided I'd purchase one due to the light weight vs. all the other heavy coolers. Not only is it light weight but it will float! I put it to the test on the Frio River Concan, TX. Was definitely cautious considering the cooler was loaded down for the adventure. But it did not skip a beat...after the first couple of rapids it did as advertised! Well done RR!

Howdy, RW! Thanks for taking a chance on Rugged Road--our team is stoked to hear that your cooler exceeded all expectations while taking on the rapids! We hope you continue to have a wonderful summer with your floating companion in tow. :)

Well Done!

I’m writing to simply say well done. Holds ice in 90+ degrees, even in direct sunlight. Light enough even fully loaded to be ‘portable’. The removable lid was undersold to me. It has been a game changer for me as I load it in the back of my camper and by removing the lid adding ice is no longer a pain in the ***. Well done. If this thing lasts as long as I hope it does it might turn out to be the best thing since the creation of beer. Well done. Very well done.

Rugged Road Outdoors

Howdy, Steve! So awesome to hear that your Rugged Road has exceeded all expectations, and that the cooler's reversible lid has provided convenience like never before! 'Best thing since the creation of beer' is a steep compliment--but hey, we'll take it! Beyond grateful for customers like yourself; if there is anything our small but mighty team can do for you, let us know!

Must Buy

This cooler is the best thing I have ever bought, been a year now and am still happy. Holds drinks cold for days and perfect for floating around in the lake. If you’re looking for a great cooler, why not get one that floats?

Great Ice Retention

I was surprised to see that my cooler held ice for 5 days. I probably would have still had ice on day 6, but I dumped the cooler to repack it.

How's it going, Joe?! Our team is glad to hear that your Ultralight cooler's insulating powers blew you away! Don't hesitate to give us a shout if there is anything our team can do to support you as a valued customer. :)

Even Better

Love the new style. I have the previous generation and the new style makes a good cooler into a great cooler. Keeps ICE for days and doesn't weigh a ton.
