RTIC Outdoors Ultra-Light 52qt Hard Sided Cooler

Packed the cooler Sunday morning and headed out for our camping trip. Today is Friday and bought ice for the first time. It has been in the mid to high eighties everyday. Great cooler very satisfied with my purchase.

The cooler itself is great but we paid extra for an image on top that’s not so great. After one summer it’s starting to peel.

Held ice for just about 4 days. I did get some condensation by the drain ports but not enough to worry about. The contents were cold throughout a very long weekend. Very happy.

I bought this cooler after reading reviews online and wow it doesn’t disappoint! I live in the south where summer months are 100+ with high humidity as well I put ice in it twice a week on a 5 day work week. So far I’m super impressed

Took it out for the first time to a camping trip and was the perfect size and weight. Wasn’t too heavy either when filling it up with drinks and ice. Letters and design came out to be beautiful on the cooler. Would definitely buy another one.

I've wanted one of these super-coolers for years - all my travel friends have them. When this one popped up on my email and was discounted for the 4th holiday, I had to pull the trigger. I had a recent travel trip and this cooler kept my frozen food frozen. . . even ice cream. . . for 8 hours. Probably would have gone longer but there was a nice fridge/freezer at my destination. Ended up keeping beer in it for a full week and never had to add ice.

Works great holds the ice we'll. Have had no problems with the cooler and like the way it looks.

I went camping this weekend and used my new cooler for the first time. I put ice in it on Saturday morning with the frozen separator. And the cooler sat in my car all day Saturday and Sunday in the hot sun, because I didn’t want bears to get it if I left it out in the world, and it still had ice in it.

Perfect size for going shopping. We live outside of the cities, so we only journey into the big markets. Easy to carry, fits in the back of the car, keeps everything cold until we get back home. Now we’ve got at least one of each hard side coolers, along with a number of soft sides.

Like the cooler at a fair price dislike design relevant to being able to lock cooler in back of a truck this particular cooler there’s no way to put a safety bar lock on it

I just finished a 2 week trip with my new cooler and to be honest I'm underwhelmed. This replaced an old Coleman Xtreme cooler. Maybe that one worked better than I realized but I expected the RTIC to outshine the Coleman and it definitely did not. I pre-chilled the cooler but still had to replenish the ice every other day. Granted it was in a hot car, but I thought the thick insulation would work better then it did. Maybe I choose wrong with the ultra-light model but it already was very difficult to lift when loaded and the heavier model would have been too much. On the plus side, the drains worked well. . . I just had to use them way more often than I thought I would.

very solid unit I left it in the sun on a 94 deg day with minimum ice packs , it worked great

Came quickly, works perfectly. Keeps cold things cold for days. Exceeded my expectations!

Love it! Plan to buy the same but smaller for shorter trips!

Received in a very timely manner. I like the room and weight for the size of the cooler. Haven't used it yet, so we'll see how long it holds ice.

The cooler held ice fairly well. However, a few times the seal of the cooler was suctioned so tight that we had a hard time opening the cooler.

With the limited experience I've had with the 52, I have been impressed. And I can be hard to impress. Bought it mostly for picking up groceries, I use the freezable divider (which i like) and two 2 lb ice blocks to help the divider. Longest ive had it in the cab of the truck with food, 9 or 10 hrs. And it kept my stuff cold. Not the cheapest, but I believe it's worth the money. And it looks good, seems to be solid built.

Bought as gift for my son’s 21st…he likes it. Seems heavy duty. Will get a lot of use out of it until he loses it! 🤣

Definitely lighter than my old 65 qt rtic which is what I was looking for. Haven’t given long term ice retention a try yet but it has done well for 2 and 3 day trips. Happy so far.

Very well build and keeps ice and contents cold as promised. Just ordered baskets - absolutely needed to maximize use of the cooler.
