Hurricane Relief

Hi Rugged Road. Just wanted to say we used the 65 cooler up in the western NC relief the past weekend and its lightweight was such an asset to us. Couldn't imagine carrying a YETI up there. Will be taking it back again this weekend to continue aid. Thank you for making a great product!!

Rugged Road Outdoors

How are ya, Jon!? First and foremost, thank YOU for being part of the relief efforts in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene--you are a valued hero of your community. Customers like you inspire us to create quality outdoor gear that is easy to transport. We are simply honored to have been a part of such noble work. Please let us know if there is any way we can continue to support the western North Carolina communities during their road to recovery.

Finally a cooler worth every cent!

I’ve had Engel, Yeti, Coleman to name a few. The Rugged Road cooler is by far my favorite and keeps ice longer than the others. The weight makes it easy to move around even when full. Thanks for making an amazing cooler. The water bottle included is a bonus!

Awesome Customer Service!!

A really weird thing happens to my cooler and my closure latch got broken off. I reached out to RR and I got immediate response back with the new free replacement in the mail super quick. You guys got it going on as a great customer service oriented company! I love American made products that are well backed and supported by great American people! Thanks. Brian in Arkansas

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 $$.

Hey, Myron! We are stoked to hear about your positive experience with our coolers and are glad to be your last high-performance cooler purchase! Thanks so much for taking the time to leave your feedback. :)

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.

Hey there, Stephen! We are glad to hear that our coolers are making storage a breeze. Give us a shout if there is any way we can support you down the (rugged) road!

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.

Rugged Road Outdoors

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!
