RTIC Outdoors 65qt Hard Sided Cooler

Wow is all I have to say. I packed two cases of pre-chilled drinks and over a dozen water bottles that were pre-chilled I loaded about 20 pounds of ice on top of the beverages on a Thursday evening on the following Wednesday. I still had 10 pounds of ice chunked up in the cooler and everything was still very very cold. I am super impressed.

Great icechest holds ice for days in this alabama heat

We recently relocated a couple states away. There was a week between packing our deep freeze on the moving truck and when it would be delivered to our new home - leaving me with 7 days of needing to keep 30 or so lbs of ground venison frozen. I loaded it (most of it) into the RTIC ultra tough and packed it to the brim with ice. After a hot drive and a week in a hotel, not only was there still ice, the venison was still frozen solid. The few packs at the very top of the cooler had become soft but were still VERY cold and surrounded with ice. Can’t recommend this cooler enough. Absolutely lives up to the hype. Be forewarned — it’s heavy. But it’s also indestructible (dropped it out the bed of the truck full of ice and meat and didn’t even scratch) and barely had any water after a week of ice. If you’re on the fence, pull the trigger. You won’t regret it and you’ll have it forever.

This is my third cooler from RTIC. I purchase RTIC coolers because of their quality.

Heavy-duty cooler for all our camping and glamping needs. Definitely able to keep food cold or cool for the whole weekend. Looks great with stickers.

I'm a huge fan of the lightweight coolers, but bought this one for more use in tough conditions. It's an absolute beast and will stand up to year of abuse, but it is heavy. Keep that in mind if you need to hand carry it long distances.

We absolutely love it!! It kept ice for over week. The color is so awesome!! Its rugged and sleek! Better than any other brand!!

Highly recommend, it kept my food cold and the ice stayed frozen for 2. 5 days before I had to put more in.

I bought this cooler for my husband’s birthday, and it is perfect to fit drinks and food in with plenty of room for ice!

Yo, Currently camping with my new coolers. Had a RTic water bottle and it was so hardcore I decided to check out there coolers. I bought a 65 quart Ultra Tough and a 52 quart Lite with wheels, complete with accessories. Day five and we still have ice in each cooler having opened and closed constantly. Nice to have ice that long. So far they seem indestructible, time will tell. However I do believe they will be legacy coolers. I got the graphics (a Grizzly) be sure to personalize yours. Special shoutout -and thanks to Kimberly who made the experience better. Scott

Pros: I usually fill a cooler with frozen water bottles instead of loose ice. Filling the cooler half way with frozen water bottles, after five days all the bottles had at least half of the bottle still frozen which was impressive. Form factor is nice, there are two ways to carry, with ropes and with grab handles. Build quality seems robust and substantial. There are two valves built into the cooler, one to release pressure and the other to drain which is nice. Rubber toggle handles seem durable and easy to latch. This cooler seems to be mid tier when it comes to price which is a good selling point. The interior of the cooler has flat smooth walls with limited crevices which should aid in cleaning. Cons: The cooler door has some weight to it. I kind of wish there was a way to install a soft close hinge to these cooler doors to prevent kids fingers from being slammed when the door falls shut. The slide in divider and dry goods tray that you must pay for separately seem a bit flimsy, I wish these were made with greater heft. I wish the drain/pressure valves were permanently attached to the cooler with a string or lanyard to prevent the valves from being lost if they accidentally come out. Overall happy with the purchase.

I absolutely love Rtic for its quality and value. I have many of them but am very disappointed in my last purchase, a 65 . It does not have a built in bottle opener. This is veri inconvenient. Had i known that I never would have purchased

So far so good! Keeping everything cold and love the dry storage bin / divider set up to keep things organized

Love this cooler! Brilliant color and so lightweight for being so durable. Holds ice for Days!!

Needed a new cooler to fit all my beverages for camping. Put three 5 qt. blocks of ice and it lasted 5 days in hot weather. Well worth the price.

For the money we spent on the cooler I expected it to keep things cool for longer than it does. We specifically bought this cooler for race days where we’re at the track all day. Despite keeping it in a cool shaded area we had to put ice in it just about every hour which meant leaving the race track to run to the store and get a bag of ice and come back to fill it with ice. We’d fill it almost all the way up and within 45 mins to an hour the ice would be melted. Wouldn’t spend my money twice on it. Very disappointed.

I reached out to Aaron about a warping lid issue after a week of use sent me a replacement and the replacement is doing the same thing. I think it’s just a bad batch of coolers.

Love this product. Kept ice for seven days!!!! Perfect size! Love the two drain plugs, the divider, and the dry goods basket! All were as advertised! Yeti quality without the price tag or the risk of being targeted by thieves if left unattended. Best cooler I've ever owned for real!

Color is exactly as advertised and the chest keeps drinks cold for a long time! It's heavy, but all good 5-day ice chests are heavy because they are foam filled. Great for the boat!

Love everything about it except, and this is on me, it is heavier and more unwieldy than I expected.
