Best Ultralight Cooler? RTIC vs YETI vs Engel vs Frosted Frog

I test and compare 7 different injection molded coolers side by side to see which performs the best for ice retention and which features are worth the money. Some of these are advertised as being 'ultra-light', but are they really? Watch and get all the details so you can decide if one of these ice chests is right for you.

This video couldn't have come out at a better time. I need a new cooler and those ultralights seemed fishy to me. Thanks for doing these videos for the people!

You bet! Still good coolers, just don't get hung up on the "ultralight" part.

Love my RTIC ultralight

@outdoorempirecom Ай бұрын

It seems to be a crowd favorite.

Going on 2yrs with my 52qt RTIC UL.. love it, zero complaints. If the wheeled version had the same ice retention I’d buy it. But south Florida heat is no joke lol

Subscribed! Love the analysis in your videos, and your sense of humor isn't terrible either. :)

I just love ❤ love these reviews of yours! I laugh from the remarks you think of on the spur of the moment, I worry about your wife concerning the cooler budget, and most importantly, I listen to your advice from the testing as well as from your experiences. I had to return a 100 qt cooler to Amazon of the Coleman 316 because well-lt was so large that it took up half the space in my panel van! So, of course, I am still on the prowl for a decent cooler and am very grateful to see your new video! My concern is budget, extras and of course perfirnance (so I want the one with the divider and food basket ... that means I will watch again to verify) , lol. Keep up the good work & bless your heart! Thank you from a fan ... shalom! Faith from the Arkansas Ozark mts. ❤ PS: It's the Engle cooler! Bravo! Thx! 😊

I’ve already got a solid 6+ coolers but man I love coolers and cooler content.

Somethin about coolers takes a hold of some. 😂

@earljohnson918 Ай бұрын

Thank you for the honest reviews glad to see someone pointing out that these coolers are not rotomolded. Yeti seems really sleazy to me in that a lot of reviews and descriptions of the roadie line say they are and Yeti really says nothing as to how they are manufactured and just continues that myth. Really like my coho $50 well spent.

Ya I thought it was pretty sketchy that they don't disclose that.

@albuddy Ай бұрын

First, as always, love your cooler videos! 👍Literally freaked out a lil bit at the beginning..I was like where’s the hot dog?! But thankfully you added later! 😂 Not surprised with Yeti winning (given past performance,) but must say the Coho is definitely impressive. Been fighting the urge to buy it every time I walk past it at Costco, after watching your review of it last time. It’s seems like too good of a value to pass up.

I was a bit ashamed that these weren't all-beef franks, but I was in a pinch.

Fan of RTIC and COHO. Would be more into Yeti if it wasn’t overpriced compared to the two others.

I have the rtic and it doesn’t hold ice that long two weeks ago I put two bags of ice in it and 3 hours later it was melted so use caution if you buy one

@polockexpress 25 күн бұрын

Hey Buddy you had a good point if you don't need a cooler don't add more wasted plastic.. I do need one and you seem to have way too many... do you have any roller coolers you were going to throw away because I'll take one please 😅 ps love your videos .

@outdoorempirecom 20 күн бұрын

I still have sinister plans for my coolers, but one day may begin to release them into the wild.

@AlexGuillory-pm7vb Ай бұрын

The 2 drains came from a lawsuit between Eric and yeti. One owner from yeti left Nd started rtic, and “copied” yeti so they had to make the cooler different somehow.

May I ask why no kong , Otter or Orca cooler in here?

@datkinegaming8292 13 күн бұрын

I’ll answer my question I’m assuming because they don’t have ultra light cooler

@outdoorempirecom 12 күн бұрын

As you mentioned it is primarily because they have no ultralight or injection molded coolers. Kong and Orca are rotomolded, but I cover them in other videos. OtterBox was injection molded but they were discontinued a couple years ago.
