RTIC Soft Pack Cooler Test & Review

I test the RTIC Soft Pack cooler in a combination of high heat and high humidity to see just how well it would do in harsh conditions. Let's see how it does!

RTIC over YETI anyday. Love my RTIC molded cooler and the soft pack. Best money saved over a YETI. My rotomolded does condensate around the drain plug but not a killer for me.

[@caesarselfreliance.4081]

They work a little better if you “Pre-Chill” them. If the cooler is warm, the insulation holds a lot of heat. I’ve had the RTIC and Yeti and zippers have broke on both. Just keep it lubed and be careful and they will last a long time.

[@samue1991]

I started buying Rtic stuff when yeti went anti-2A and I'm very very happy with their products

[@jasons6307]

I listen to the "Rumors" just like your stating that Yeti went anti-2nd. I decided to pick up the phone and call Texas Headquarters , YES Texas the state where they love guns is where Yeti set up shop! I was pretty convinced after a 30min phone call that Yeti was by far anti-2nd and still has my business. Can I justify the cost of Yeti products or even RTIC for that matter..I guess if you have deep enough pockets.

[@engineer2001]

@@jasons6307 I hope there's a typo in your "I was pretty convinced after a 30min phone call that Yeti was by far anti-2nd and still has my business" comment. You're convinced they are anti-2nd and still have your business?

[@supremekingjesus425]

@@jasons6307 there not anti 2nd. They email the NRA that there discount was out dated and they have a new discount for members. Yeti even message everybody but the NRA took it the wrong way

[@bobbyamandaflores4470]

@@supremekingjesus425 so do you recommend the lifetime cooler ?

[@supremekingjesus425]

@@bobbyamandaflores4470 yes because there are also good coolers and they are bear proof. And to be realistic the rtic coolers are also great. But to be honest the lifetime cooler has a better design look but that's just my opinion trust me you won't be disappointed on a $97 cooler. I took that cooler with me over the road and that sucker last for five days just like the rtic

[@joegonz3864]

Absolutely agree with the other comments. I have a 4 year old 8 can RTIC cooler very sparingly used for an occasional beach trip or park excursion. Got it out for beach trip and zipper busted. RTIC customer rep told me to get marine glue and put it back on. Zipper was broken so no chance of repair. She replied nothing they could do! Should have bought the Walmart cooler…

[@max796428]

Been using RTIC stuff for a while now doing forestry work relatively close to Mrgunsngear. My half gallon jug from them stays icy all day long as long it sits in the shade and at worst, the ice will melt but stays cold after 8 hours in the sun.

[@MrJM1878]

Thanks so much for the video. This is has definitely increased my chances of purchasing an RTIC soft cooler for long road trips and motel stays without fridges.

[@Mrgunsngear]

Glad it was helpful!

[@maxximus2012]

I've had one for about a year and it works well. I use it to keep my drinking water cold while I drive around in the TX heat as an outside sales rep. Not as good as a hard sided one but it works great for what it is, at its price point. I got mine at Buccees and it has a mesh outside pocket; odd that yours does not.

[@Mrgunsngear]

thanks for the report

[@SPHINX144]

This is the only rtic that I actually like. I Hve 3 yeti hard coolers but got this rtic as a lunch box. Don't need to spend $250 to carry a protein shake and a sandwich.

[@ThisIsInput]

Sounds about right. I've had my RTIC 20 soft cooler for over 2 years and take it on road trips. I can go a full day in hot weather (90s) without putting ice in it. Mild weather (70s) I can go 2 days. Also if it tips over it will not leak water, at least not in the time it takes to pick it back up.

[@mikethomas5412]

Not cold but was it drinkable... Momma is going to get you for using all her ice! Thanks Mike, for the video.

[@chrissewell1608]

We have had the next size up? RTIC soft sided cooler for a few years now, and NO problems. They are durable, light weight, and affordable. It will keep ice longer if you pre-chill it with ice 24-48 hours before use. (Just like the hard sided models) but I don't typically do that. An over night inside the house, will bring it down to room temperature. But they work good! Although...my 30 year old, GOTT cooler, still works pretty good too!

[@CHUGA69]

To get better performance, lets say you’re going out on Sat so on Friday put about 3 frozen water bottles, then put your cold items in 90+ degrees should last 2-3 days in the Texas heat. Hope it helps

[@Mrgunsngear]

thanks for the report

[@prk543]

I usually get about a day and a half of ice in my soft RTIC 20 using it on job sites. That is with the cooler either sitting in the sun or in the back of my car. I am also in and out of the cooler all day.

[@Chick-n-Rice]

9:10 when he mentions if you are watching in 2023! Welp I sure am! Great video! And great content!

[@JoddyG]

Have the Softpak 30 and love it, bought it to use on the Harley in the summer since the zippers wont leak in the saddlebags

[@grantkendrick277]

Watching this as I eat my breakfast out of the exact same cooler

[@russream3732]

Have not tried these. Have two of the RTIC roto molded coolers - they are great. Best of all, they are not Yeti.

[@marcusyoung2870]

I thought you ppl were done with this Yeti hate parade

[@alihilly1]

Some conservatives are literally the BIGGEST snowflakes going.

[@dylanburgal5628]

I had an tic cooler for about a year and the zipper broke at 10 months. Should have been an easy fix but Rtic had terrible customer service, took forever to return my emails and when I finally got to where I could suit a claim it was out of warranty. Terrible customer service all around, not once did they provide alternatives or try to keep my business. I would highly not recommend their products do to there customer service being some of the worst I have ever experienced. Pelican Weill be getting my business from here on out. Better customer service, support first responders and awesome products.

[@BuckarooBeatdown]

Never had a problem with RTIC CS, but I'm am Biased as I live near the warehouse. Although all their stuff is Made in China

So go with Yeti?

How many glock 43x does this one hold

[@Throndl]

The glue that held together my Rtic softpack disintegrated sitting in my car. I stopped using it.

[@chadprice5718]

I think it pretty sweet day cooler and it not leaking water is the best feature.

[@yancyteel4923]

I went surprised that it had ice after one day. I have the next size up from this one I bought a couple of years ago and I like it. I bought it for taking to the race track, pool parties and it will keep ice all day in the gulf coast Texas heat.

[@thomasmann9865]

I got my cooler and was real impressed with it. So much so, I ordered a insulated 1 gallon jug and a 20 oz. insulated bottle. Water at the range in style. :-D

[@kumarsalib722]

I've seen a lot of people complain about the glue separating from being in the heat too long.

[@privatename8888]

Has the zipper broken yet? I read alot of reviews stating zipper breakage, the zipper handle or the actual zipper itself. This is why im looking at reviews.

[@leonidas6134]

Can’t find the soft pack 8 anywhere. Only the “everyday cooler” which is not the same cooler.

[@BAAest2019]

I think it did what it was designed to do pretty well ( a single day cooler). If you’re using an 8pack cooler for more than a day you’re doing it wrong 😂

[@ErdricksArmor]

Yeah, looks like the ice would last WAY longer than the beer😄

[@TexasTrained]

It cant hang in Brazoria TX I can tell ya that for sure.I knew for a fact there would be no ice the 2nd time by the amount that melted on 1st check.It is good for what it is designed.It may save a persons drinks if need be one that can swim.They are a little over priced though.

[@markdecker9605]

I think I finally found the answer to a new lunch box. I work in a construction trade so I want adorable quality lunch bucket. I've had the hard playmate coolers over the years. I've had soft-sided coolers. The one I got now is a decent Coleman coolerbut it's falling apart. RDIC makes a day cooler. All of them are disappointing because they have it minimum padding on the sides. They squash and crush when you carry them. They don't keep things cold for a 10 or 12-hour shift. I've been absolutely disappointed with anything yeti builds. None of them have any pockets. I need something robust adorable that I can put my wallet in, my car keys in, my cell phone in. I need room for ID badges. I need room for cheater reading glasses and medications. I just recently discovered that RDIC makes a side bag deluxe. It's awesome for all those items or you can just keep it separate and inside the cooler itself. I want something that's big enough and tall enough that it will fit 1 l bottles of water, like smart water. Or fit a typical square to-go container you might get from a restaurant. Or a typical Rubbermaid lunch container. Finally found all the right answers. Now it's, to buy RDIC 20 or 30? Hmmm

[@linuxsport]

Awesome review.

[@DanUtley]

For only $150, you, too, can keep a six pack cold for 10 days!

[@chrissewell1608]

Hell, on a 100 degree day. A 6 pack only has to stay cold about 10 minutes. Then they start to disappear!

For $200, you could buy a dorm fridge and keep your beer cold for the rest of your life!

[@chrissewell1608]

@@davidrice313 Ha ha...true. but can you take it on a boat?

@@chrissewell1608 I guess that depends on how big a boat you got. Plus, if you have a six pack on a boat for 10 days, you're not drinking beer the right way. Haha!
