Review on πŸ‘œ RTIC Soft Cooler Insulated Bag: Leak-Proof, Zippered Portable Ice Chest for Travel, Lunch, Work, Cars, Picnics, Beaches & Trips by Charles Purnell

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I'm a fan. Key points to consider when looking at this cooler.

I see many complaints about the zipper, but I took a chance and ordered it. Received it today and took a few samples of what came with the cooler. Feels great, looks like quality, the style is truly amazing. The shoulder strap is easily adjustable and very comfortable. The front zipper slides back and forth easily. Closing the main zip is a bit trickier, but here's the thing. The cool box comes with Zip Lube. I applied a few when I got it and we'll see how it works. After applying the lubricant, the zipper became smooth. Use it often and you shouldn't have any problems. One of the main things I love about this cooler is the top cap. This cooler sits fairly well upright and doesn't fall off, meaning you don't have to zip it up at all. The lid fits well so less use of the zip means longer zip life in my opinion. If you're afraid of zipper reviews, order the $6 extended 2-year warranty. It costs $3 a year guys, let's face it if you can't afford $6 this cooler might not be for you. Another key feature. 3 different ways to carry the cool box. 1. Shoulder strap, 2. Side straps together with a nice Velcro for one-handed carrying or 3. End straps for loading into a car or carrying with two hands. I'm a guy I like options. I plan to use it on my Waveruuner and transport drinks to my monthly poker game. I can't go wrong in my book if you order this cooler. My buddy Doug told me about his (he's had it for 5 years) so I went for it.
