Our verdict

A leak proof, floating soft cooler that holds ice for a day trip and a bit more. It is a mid size bag, so it suits a day out rather than a long camping trip.

Overview

Closed cell foam walls and a waterproof EZ zipper seal the RTIC Ultra-Tough cooler so cold stays in and melt water stays put. The heavy duty nylon shell floats, and a shoulder strap makes it easy to carry.

A sealed, floating bag that does not drip is the reason to choose it for the beach, boat or car. Cooling time depends on following RTIC's packing tips, so expect less in direct sun.

Who it's for

Day trippers to the lake, pool or ballpark will appreciate a bag that floats and does not leak. Multi day campers need a larger hard cooler.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Leak proof waterproof zipper
  • Floats in water
  • Light for its capacity
  • Thick closed cell foam
Cons
  • Cooling time depends on packing
  • Mid size for long trips
  • No dividers or pockets listed

Performance notes

Ice life depends on the foam thickness, how full the bag is packed and how often it is opened. The waterproof zipper holds melt water inside and blocks outside water. A pre chilled, full bag holds temperature longest.
