    Great little cooler that comes with a warranty backed by the company

    I recently bought the 52 QT Ultra Light Wheeled Cooler through a brick and mortar store. After one use, I discovered that there was a small crack on the underside near the handle. I contacted RTIC, sending them a picture of the cooler and the receipt. They simply requested that I fill out the Warranty and then they sent me a new cooler. Not only is the Warranty great, the cooler is too! If you follow the advise tips on prepping the cooler before use- it stays cold and holds ice. After three days camping, we still had ice in the cooler and hadn't needed to replenish! It wheels easily, even when full! I will definitely be buying other sizes. Now I'm just waiting accessories to come back in stock to complete my 52 Quart.

    Ice for DAYS! Best cooler I've ever owned

    The amount of money I have already saved on buying ice on camping trips this month has paid for 20% of the 52 qt Ultra-Light wheeled cooler. 4 days of with ice remaining. I highly recommend the freezable divider and dry basket. The wheels are smooth rolling and do not sound like a semi truck rolling down the street like the plastic wheels on my previous cooler. All the design elements make sense (handle, rubber locking straps, divider, dry net for condiments etc). I only wish I bought this a year earlier. I would give 6 stars if I could.

    Perfect for WDW trips

    We have smaller soft and hard RTIC coolers but wanted/needed something bigger and mobile! Carrying the huge heavy RTIC coolers back and forth daily to the ice machines at Disney resorts wasn’t cutting it anymore. Once you put in all your drinks, foods, snacks, etc and have to lug it around on your shoulder was aggravating. Going up in size, having wheels, a pull handle, frozen separators, dry good baskets made this choice an excellent decision and used it on a WDW trip within days of receiving it! The dry goods basket and the drain made daily operations an ease! I highly recommend going 1 size bigger than you think you need, getting a hard cooler w wheels, ice separators, and the dry good baskets are the icing on the cake!

    Disappointing cooler

    Gave 2 stars…Seems like a well built cooler, nice wheels and handles but did NOT keep ice for more than one day. Was not even that hot outside 70-80 degrees and ice melted in about 18 hours. Even purchased the cooler divider! So very disappointing spending that kind of money. I do not recommend!

    Last cooler I'll need

    Hard to believe how long ice lasts in this thing. Sturdy build, great wheels/bearings, and quality hinges/clasps. Wish the interior divider was included.

    52Q Ultra-light wheeled cooler

    We really loved our 52Q cooler we used it everyday at the pool in Florida for two weeks. Not good for the sand but I knew it wasn’t going to be.

    Really Great Cooler for the most part

    We just took our 52 QT Ultra-Light Wheeled Cooler on its first camping trip and, for the most part, it worked as promised. We prepped it with ice the day before leaving and there was still plenty of ice in it, 3 days later (the length of the camp). A few things really stood out: the wheels are great. They are much higher quality than what we saw from other coolers in stores. I'm not sure another cooler could have taken the rough terrain of our site at Gooseberry Falls SP. This unit rolled uphill over roots and rocks like they were nothing. The handle is also of much higher quality than what we saw. It's real metal and very substantial. The rubber grips had great feel and helped when towing. The one minor drawback is the drain did weep. I made sure it was on tight, but found the floor wet after a night in our truck. All in all, love this cooler and look forward to using it over and over.

    Don’t customize

    Overall we love the cooler but chose to get it customized, within one day it had come off. Now our brand new cooler looks old and ridiculous.
