Don't be fooled! This is a day cooler. It hardly keeps ice for 12-15 hours. A styrofoam cooler would perform as well. We kept it in the air conditioned trailer with pre-chilled sodas and it was a joke.
RTIC told me I was too late to return it but could try a warranty claim. They had me do a 3 day "ice test" which it failed completely. I was then told I could send it back at my expense and they would do an "ice test". Are you kidding me?... I guess I have a new $110. day cooler :M
Don't waste your money!!!
You always could of spent double that and bought the Yeti, which would not hold ice for 3 days either. The RTIC performs just as well, I have both, and also have RTIC hard sides that outperform Yeti for less $, have both brands of those also.
Not sure you're going to find a soft side anything that will keep ice for 3 days. Maybe in the shade at 35 degrees ambient full of ice and never opened..
Where does RTIC make that 3 day claim on their soft sides? Not able to be found on their website.
