The Roadie® Hard Cooler family is built with the same legendary durability and thermal performance you expect from Tundra® Coolers but with added mobility features that make transporting everything you need easier. From rugged wheels to durable handles, these coolers are guaranteed to keep your provisions cold and on the move.
Made for riding shotgun, navigating bumpy terrain, and maneuvering tailgate crowds – these are perfect for adventures on your own or with the entire crew. They’re tall enough to fit wine bottles upright and the one-handed access ensures provisions are always accessible. Each Roadie® Cooler is built with RockSolid™ Strength and armored to the core to be virtually indestructible while featuring PermaFrost™ Insulation for the ability to hold ice for days.
Select Roadie® Hard Cooler sizes are available in many colours including classic white, navy, charcoal, desert tan, and limited edition colours.
YETI Roadie® Coolers come with a five year warranty. For more information, please visit our Warranty Information page.
There are many variables that will affect ice retention, so this is a difficult question for us to answer. Variables that can affect ice retention include the ice quality, ice quantity, type of ice (crushed, block, cube, dry), outside environment, exposure to direct sunlight, etc. Which is to say there’s a lot you can do to affect the longevity of your ice.
Because of the large number of variables, as well as the lack of an industry standard for measuring ice retention, claims that place a definite time (5, 10, 14 days) are often based on testing conditions and not real-life situations. But if you can minimize the negative variables that affect ice retention, YETI® Coolers can’t be beat. And we’ve compiled a comprehensive list of tips and tricks to maximize ice retention.
Absolutely, see our instructions on how to use dry ice with your Roadie® Cooler.
You might be surprised to read this, but yes. The same insulation and thick walls that keep the cooler cold also keep the heat.

No, like all YETI® Hard Coolers, these need to release pressure in order to be dry-ice compatible so they are not 100% leakproof. If they ever end up on their side or upside down, liquid will likely spillout. That said, we’ve taken extreme engineering measures to minimize leaks.
But if leakproof performance is critical to you, we recommend checking out our Hopper® Soft Cooler Family.
For general cleaning we recommend using soap and warm water.
For a more thorough cleansing and problems with strong odors, use a solution of warm water and bleach (6:1 ratio) with a sponge or mildly abrasive rag. Odors can easily get trapped in hard to reach areas such as around the gasket and drain plug, so be sure to thoroughly scrub those areas.
For tough stains and very foul odors we would recommend cleaning your YETI Roadie® Cooler with a high pressure soap spray found at a local do-it yourself car wash.
Yes. Check out our Cooler Accessories page here for compatible accessories.
We made a QuickLatch™ System specifically for these coolers so they’re easier to open on the road. (They’re called the Roadie® Cooler, after all.)
- For the Roadie® 15 Hard Cooler, one medium YETI® Thin Ice and one small YETI® Thin Ice will fit perfectly in the bottom.

- For the Roadie® 32 Wheeled Cooler, two 2lb YETI® ICE will fit perfectly in the bottom.

Yes. While we don’t anticipate that you will need to remove or replace the strap, you can do so on both the Roadie® 15 and Roadie® 24 Hard Coolers.
Roadie® Wheeled Cooler wheels are great for, and durable enough to take on rocky paths, gravel trails, and splintered marine docks. And, while the wheels can certainly stand up to sand, you may experience difficulty in rolling over or through this type of soft terrain.
No. There are no grooves where rocks or gravel can get lodged.
No, you don't need to worry about it. Our Bearfoot™ Non-Slip Feet are designed to be non-marking with proper use. The non-marring tires on the Roadie® Wheeled Coolers should not leave marks during normal use.
Yes, all Roadie® Wheeled Coolers have integrated LipGrip™ Handles to help easily lift the cooler.
When fully extended, the top of the handle is 41.6in (105.7cm) from the ground.
Yes, while we build and test every product to last, sometimes the wild happens. We have dedicated replacement parts for all Roadie® Hard Coolers including handles, wheels, gaskets, latches, and non-slip feet. Contact our outfitter team HERE for more information.
Yes, all Roadie® Hard Coolers come with the BestDam™ Drain Plug for a leakproof barrier when closed and quick draining when removed.
