Chill Smarter: 6 Reasons RTIC Coolers Beat the Heat (and the Price Tag)

When outdoor adventures call—whether it's for a backyard BBQ or a rugged camping trip—your cooler needs to be tough, dependable, and keep ice around until you’re ready to replenish. That's where RTIC coolers come in. Offering premium performance without a premium price, RTIC is the cooler that brings both chill and value to the table.

Here’s what sets them apart.



1. Superior Insulation, Killer Ice Retention

RTIC soft coolers can keep items cold for up to 5 days, thanks to high-density foam insulation and leak-proof construction—without breaking the bank. In head-to-head reviews, the RTIC 52-quart Ultra-Light Wheeled Cooler keeps pace with top-tier competitors (like Yeti), yet costs considerably less.


2. Built Rugged for Real Adventure

RTIC coolers are built strong—impact-resistant and with durable seals that hold up when the going gets tough. Outdoorsy types trust them on beach trips, camping, and boat days.


3. Tough on Quality—Easy on Your Wallet

You’ll have trouble finding higher-rated coolers in their price range. Editors call RTIC “the best overall hard cooler,” with build and performance on par with pricier brands.


4. Lightweight and Portable Options

Hate lugging a heavy cooler? RTIC’s Ultra-Light Wheeled Cooler is praised for easy transport—tough to beat when you're hauling camping gear, lunch, and drinks.


5. A Soft-Side Cooler That Performs

RTIC’s soft-sided backpack cooler is both practical and leak-resistant, with enough insulation to keep beverages cool for a full day. It earned “Best Overall” in a backpack cooler test for its convenience.



6. Big Brand Features, Small Brand Price

In a side-by-side comparison, RTIC matched—or even outperformed—premium competitors on ice retention and durability, without the pricey name tag.
