This is my second Rtic
This is my second Rtic cooler. I also have the 52 QT without wheels. I use both coolers for camping and family get togethers. These coolers are constructed very well and I would put these coolers up against any Yeti brand products. These coolers hold ice for days no matter if it's cold or hot outside. I have owned so many different brand coolers but none of them perform as well as my Rtic's.

Ice melts, doesn't stay cool
Not worth the price, my old Igloo cooler held ice and stayed cooler way longer than this does

Works good . Almost as good as expected
Holds ice rolls good and looks good. My ice was gone in 2 days. Which is okay but I noticed the paint scratches super quickly

Cooler
This cooler is just the right size to fit in the back of my pickup bed with a cover. It is big enough to hold a bunch of frozen and refrigerated items and still be cold when I get home. I also love the red, white & blue look of the cooler. It was an awesome!!

Absolutely loved it!
I got it for my husband and it was custom made. Needless to say he loved it, it was a hit at a family gathering not only because of the design it had but of the ice retention. It was 104 and ice maintained! We have various RTIC items so it didn’t disappoint.

Make sure it doesnt leak!
Just be sure it doesn’t leak. Not sure if the one I purchased in store was defective but I noticed just by using it for the first time it was leaking. Tested it out again and it for sure leaked, even though I tightened it as much as I could. Fingers crossed that target will at least provide an exchange for another one. Overall the wheels, handle and coolest of drinks works great.. but I’m not sure about that spout cover. @RTIC- any idea why this could be happening?

The cooler leaked at the spout. Looks like it was just defective. It happens. I’m sure they will make it right. We have sent it back. And hoping to get it replaced. We have never had to return anything before. So fingers crossed.

Keeper of the Ice!
This cooler has been a game changer to our landscape team. It keeps ice cold even when it's warm out and has saved us cash on ice.
