I have a rtic 20. It’s a few years old. The one thing I don’t like about mine is you cannot lay a water bottle down front to back. It’s just a bit too narrow to do so. Only option is to lay them down pointed to the sides of the ice chest, which then they overlap. Just wastes space. Aggravated me for some reason. My yeti 20 does t have this issue

Same here. Wish I had ordered a size up in addition to the one I got. It is perfect for a weekend trip with just a few people, but having a larger one occasionally would be nice.

Big Frig 20qt

Won one at a silent auction and it is as good, if not better than my Yeti 20 Roadie. They will customize it as well for an upcharge.

Anyone tried the ones they sell at Buc-ees? We were there last weekend, and I was looking at some of the larger ones with wheels. That is the only drawback of my color free version that I got early on.

If price is no object, check out the Oyster cooler. Aluminum cooler with vacuum insulation technology made in Norway.

Cant say enough good things about mine. It performs extremely well and it takes me two minutes to make my cooler. So nice not having to deal with ice.

I have the opposite wish... I have 65, 90, and 110, wish I had thought a small one would have made sense back then.

I almost got the smallest and next size up, but someone else from Birmingham was making a run to pick up, and I didn't want to ask too much for someone to bring back more than one for me. I think mine is a 35, and it is plenty for a little weekend camping trip with me and my boys. But we do bigger troop campouts a few times a year with our scouting group, and some extra space would be nice. A 65 would be about perfect. I'll probably snag one next time I'm at Academy or Buc-ees.

I have the 22qt Yukon from Bucees. It's well made and does the job. I think I paid $99 for it, so it's a good bit cheaper than even the rtic.

Thanks. I think the 65 with wheels was under $200. Also had the dry storage basket up on the rim, which would be nice for stuff like eggs and cheese we take to cook breakfast when camping.
