Outdoor adventurers at every level need a solid insulated cooler in their life. They’re ideal for camping, beach trips, and even for backyard BBQs. But if you want to invest in a cooler that will last you a lifetime, then you’ve realized you have to invest — the bestselling YETI Tundra 45 Hard Cooler will set you back $300. But there’s a less expensive cooler on the market that reviewers say is just as good as the YETI brand but costs half as much.
The RTIC insulated cooler, which is on sale for under $150 right now, is a lightweight hard-shelled cooler that is designed to be easily carryable, even when full. It features 2.5 inches of insulation that will keep your food and drinks crisp and the sturdy locks will keep the cold in for up to five days.
This cooler also has dual drain plugs for easy emptying, a built-in bottle opener, and a freezer-style gasket at the top to really lock in the chill.
RTIC Ultra-Light 32-Quart Insulated Hard Cooler
“I’m now a fan of RTIC products,” one five-star reviewer wrote. “To be honest, it’s Yeti quality cooling vessels, but not outrageously priced … I put block ice in this for camping trips and the ice stays for days out in the summer heat.”
Another reviewer wrote, “Why would you buy a YETI? I don’t even have to wait a week, a month, a couple [of] years. Right out of the box you can tell it is built like a tank. Really nice rope handles, nice and comfortable formed handles on ends, big, gasketed drain plug with stainless steel lanyards! Hinge is built into lid and body and connected with a single stainless steel rod. A built-in bottle opener, and anti-skid rubber feet. Unless you accidentally run over it with a dozer, or it falls out of your truck doing 50mph…….I do NOT see how this cooler would fail, or disappoint anybody.”
“The cooler works really well. Holds ice for a long time,” someone else added. “It’s very lightweight and even when full of drinks is not too heavy. We take this on the back of our jeep and it’s holding up well. Would buy again for sure!”
Grab the RTIC cooler at just $150 and save the other half you would have spent on a YETI for your summer travel fund. This thing will not disappoint you!
