I like the size and
I like the size and color I picked out. I haven’t used it yet but I’m planning a trip next week out in the middle of the desert. Ask me in a couple weeks. Two things I’m not happy with about the chest. One is that the single divider is in the middle. Unfortunately that doesn’t work for me. It would be better offset, or have another slot for options, cause the divider lets you put items like milk, orange juice etc that you can pull out regularly and not have to jam it back in ice like the other side. Plus you just need room for a few of these. I had one that’s why I know. The second thing is I’m not a big fan of the no-slip bottom. I’ve camped most of my life and never had a problem with ice chest sliding around. I have to pick this ice chest up to move it and can’t just push it around inside the vehicle. Maybe make this an option.

Very Happy so far
BUILD IS GREAT. SIZE IS GOOD. Able to sit & stand on it. Like the duel drains. Duel handles work well . Weight is wonderful. Loving it so far would like one a little bigger without wheels. Wish they made the 72 qt. Without wheels.

Second 52 for camping
My second Ultra Light 52 for camping. Replacing a Yeti Roadie 48. Nothing bad to say about the Yeti, It was just too tall for where it needed to live. The Ultra-Light 52 handles make it easy to lift and move. The ice retention is fantastic. 7 days in Kentucky and the ice blocks still had life.

Perfect cooler to fit our needs.
Exactly what we were needing. Keeps everything cold on long travel days. Love the partition to keep things organized. The color matched perfect with the interior of our airstream and I am impressed with the overall sturdiness and construction.

Off Grid Cabin
The price was right, and relying on reputation, I purchased the RTIC. I live off Grid so this becomes sort of an emergency backup. I keep a remote temperature monitoring device inside so I always know how well my items are holding up. So far it holds temperature well. We’ll see how efficient this performs going forward. I would like to see, as an accessory, an attachment with a shut off valve that would be easy enough to drain this particular cooler with the length of hose.

This cooler is wonderful. Excited
This cooler is wonderful. Excited to use on the boat this summer, and looking to purchase the 32 quart as well, so I have a matching pair. I own the 65q, but not the Ultra light verison. . . . it heavy when filled, but hold ice very well.

Consider improvement
Cooler appears to be sturdy and holds cold great. . . I don't like how the strap for the soft seat cover goes though the lid of the cooler, should be a way to secure the cushion to the outside of the cooler

I have 4 of your
I have 4 of your coolers. When I saw your new ultra light cooler I bought it immediately. I'm 65 and it was getting a little hard to lift your tough hard cooler when it was full. I could make a commercial for your product because my food would last 5 days. I could even refreeze my small ice blocks after using them in my day cooler. When I pack my car I use the cooler to keep things snug. When I unpacked this trip I had a 1. 5 inch Crack in the side of the lid of my new cooler. I'm heartbroken. Any thoughts. I was thinking at least duck tape to seal it. Any help would be great.

Great quality product
This thing was exactly what I was looking for in size and price. It’s great quality and is really well made. It is a beast that keeps giving and maintains ice like promised.
