RTIC 45 - Tan

I love my 45, great cooler! Thinking about buying a 65!!! Wish there was a dark gray 65 on wheels with a handle!!!

I bought my RTIC 45 2 years ago. It has been the best cooler I have ever owned. It will keep ice for days. Awesome product at an awesome price.

After spending months reading reviews and researching the available options on the market, I decided that RTIC had the right balance of value, reputation and quality. I intended for this cooler to replace an old Igloo that got smashed to pieces by some wild horses on the Assateague Island, so I knew this time around I needed something that could withstand more abuse. As someone who camps and travels frequently, my main concerns were regarding ice retention and durability. I placed my order for a hard shell 45 and added a divider, a dry basket, and a couple metal tie down brackets that double as bottle openers. I was skeptical about the shipping time as I had heard stories of people waiting several months to receive their coolers. Well, I received my cooler with all of its accessories in less than a week and I was very impressed with the build quality upon arrival. After adorning the exterior with some brewery and park stickers, I promptly filled it with food and beer and took it for its first excursion to Aspen, CO where it held ice for the full manufacturer spec of five days! Granted the Colorado Rockies aren’t the warmest place in April, but at several afternoons reaching the 60s, there is no way my old Igloo would have retained ice for that long. I also have to compliment RTIC for having a great web based store with plenty of replacement cooler parts in case something does break in the future. This inspired confidence in the company when placing my initial order. I plan to return to RTIC for all of my cooler and beverage needs going forward. If I had to give a final word of advice to RTIC, it’s to invest in producing some marine-grade cooler mats that adhere to the lids to create a more comfortable seat. There are several of second party manufacturers for these, but I would rather stick with an RTIC-made product if available.

I bought this cooler about a year ago when I worked mostly outdoors. I filled it up about 3/4 of the way with ice and the rest with lunch for 3 guys, water bottles and a couple sports drinks. They all fit perfectly! I never got a full 10 days worth of ice with it but I went about 3-4 days with ice/cold water in it. Going off road the majority of shift, there were no leaks and no damage done to the cooler! All this while the cooler was in an open pickup bed! I would definitely purchase again.

i bought a rtic 65 two years ago and i am so impressed with this cooler, we camp almost every weekend in the summer here in Montana , i use blocks of ice in my cooler and am able to use the same blocks for weeks , toss them back in the freezer when we get home and back in the cooler on Friday . only complaint is when its full of ice and beer its heavy . i need a rtic 45 also

You dont really ever think of using a cooler to keep things from freezing. I've been working up in Wyoming for the last three months and I can keep cases of water for a few days in my RTIC-45 .when before the water would be frozen solid overnight when left in the truck

I've had my RTIC 45 for almost a year. It's a strong and cool cooler. I like the accessories I added two racks and a divider makes it versatile. I can't say it keeps ice any longer than my old Coleman cooler, but I do like it a lot and looking to buy a soft sided RTIC when I see a good deal on one.

Bought the 45 for hauling my deer meat, I set it on the floor next to the deep freeze at my moms house in St. Louis MO. opened the lid, opened the deep freeze and started loading it up with frozen deer meat, when full, I closed the lid and put it in the back of my truck. I live in Palm Beach Gardens FL. That afternoon, I headed for Florida, took my time and played around in Blue Springs swimming, camped out, at the end of the trip the meat was in the cooler for 2.5 days, I didn't use any ice or anything, never opened the lid ever. when I got home, I opened it, to put the meat in my freezer, and the meat was frozen solid as a rock, like it had never left my mothers freezer, no liquid, no soft meat, frozen solid!!! NO BULLSH**! I might add that it is quite warm where I live,,,, BUY IT!

If you are looking for a GREAT COOLER stop doing all the reviews/research and buy one, these are the BEST coolers hands down and at a GREAT price. I have all types of gear from RTIC and I have not been disappointed 1 time from product manufacturing/craftsmanship/quality/shipping and costumer service. I have put it to the test in many elements and conditions (all my gear) and has stood up. RTIC TEAM Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Absolutely fantastic! RTIC coolers are the best for retaining ice and keeping contents safe. We have two 20's, a 45,a 20 soft cooler, thermo bottles and mugs...ALL are great!! Just bought another 45 as a gift for a special someone who will be so excited! As far as delivery on my last purchase I was blown away...arrived the very next day! WOW RTIC!!

Great coolers, wish they would make one in NAVY!!!!!

I purchased this cooler at Christmas 2017. It performs exactly the same as my ******, but at a better price. I have enjoyed it fully. No complaints. It's so good, that I just ordered a 145. Watch for the sale and get a great price with free shipping.

I have the 20 and the 45 and couldn’t be more happier, well worth the money I was fortunate to get 25% off both times.

Purchased my 45 Tan during black Friday deals a year ago. I plan on using this cooler for years as the build quality is very solid and it keeps food cold for the days I leave in the morning and don't get home until evening. The slip resistant feet are great for keeping it in place in the bed of my truck. Only thing I wish was easier is tying it down in the bed using bungee straps, otherwise I've never had issues with it sliding around the bed when driving long distances.

PROS: Easy for one person to carry and maneuver. Sturdy. Looks bad ass. Cheaply priced (comparatively speaking). So much space, all of the space. It will keep your beer colder than a well digger's ass in January. CONS: The plastic/inside smells awful, like communism and China. Low price=direct shipping-this thing showed up looking like it got dropped from a C-130. It almost seals TOO good-I've flipped this thing over trying to get my tasty beers out. SUMMARY: I've used this cooler three times since purchase and it has exceeded my expectations. You should buy this cooler. You need this cooler. Don't buy that "big foot" trash so you can put a dumb sticker on your Ford and show everyone what an uninformed consumer you are. Make the right choice, buy an RTIC.

I use this cooler mostly for hunting and I couldn't be happier with it. It's very tough and withstands things it probably shouldn't. I've lopped off a few hooves with an axe before turning meat over to the processor while using the cooler as a backstop and it still performs great. I won a competitors soft pack cooler in a raffle and was in awe of how much it was in comparison to this hard cooler. I've since bought a larger version to accompany this one. I bought once and didn't cry once. It's a great product.

I recently purchased my first Rtic cooler, the 45 in tan. Took it on a 4 day camping trip in the pnw and never had to refill the ice as it hardly melted. Also the dual drain plugs are very practical and handy.

Very impressed with this cooler. Never bought a cooler at a higher price before but glad I did. Went beyond my expectations. RTIC RULES!!!!!

I am an avid camper and have had plenty of ice chests in my life. I bought this cooler and will never buy anything but RTIC products again! I have camped for 5+ days in pretty warm conditions and never had to purchase ice. All my fellow campers were buying ice daily. I will be buying the 65 next for a little more space. Product is well built, sturdy and can handle any weather conditions. Well Done RTIC, keep to your motto, Over Built - Not Over Priced.

I bought my RTIC 2 years ago and it has been a great cooler.
