Lightweight and Super Chill: RTIC’s New Ultra-Light Cooler

The trouble with rugged rotomolded coolers is the weight. They’re all heavy. Even if you’re a very strong and large man, packing heavy and awkward coolers around can get old. This is where the new RTIC Ultra-Light Cooler comes into play. It has a camping-friendly 52-quart capacity, yet it weighs about 10 pounds less than comparable rotomolded coolers. How did RTIC do it? Injection molding instead of rotomolding. This process uses less plastic to reduce weight. But how does it cool? Very well. RTIC keeps the insulation thick so it can still compete well against heavier rotomolded coolers. To learn more, check out my full review of the RTIC Ultra-Light Cooler at Man Makes Fire.
