Overview
RTIC made the Ultra-Light to cut cooler weight while keeping thick closed-cell foam and a freezer-style gasket. One person can carry it by the strap or the shortened handle, and a quick drain empties meltwater without tipping.
Lower weight with multi-day ice life makes beach walks and boat days easier. The lighter shell is not built for the abuse a rotomolded cooler shrugs off.
Who it's for
Families and friends heading to beaches, parks and docks get a light carry with long cold. Users who stand on or drop coolers should choose a rotomolded model.
Pros and cons
- Light for its size
- Multi-day ice retention
- Strap converts to handle
- Bottle opener and cargo net
- Less rugged than rotomolded
- Hand wash only
- Ice life depends on cooling tips
Performance notes
Ice life comes from foam thickness and the gasket seal, and RTIC's figure assumes pre-chilling and following its tips. The light shell saves carrying effort but resists impact less. Silicone latches pull the lid tight for a better seal.
