RTIC Tundra 45

The RTIC Tundra 45 is explicitly designed to compete with the Yeti Tundra 45 by offering nearly identical rotomolded construction at a significantly lower price point. While Yeti is generally considered slightly more refined in its finish, RTIC actually holds slightly more volume. Most consumers choose RTIC because it performs exceptionally well at roughly half the cost.

Thanks to its thick, rotomolded walls and freezer-style gasket, the RTIC Tundra 45 can retain ice for up to 10 days under ideal conditions. Real-world performance usually lands around 5 to 7 days, depending on the outside temperature and how often the lid is opened. Pre-chilling the cooler before use greatly maximizes its ice retention capabilities.

Yes, the heavy-duty, rotomolded construction of the RTIC Tundra 45 makes it virtually indestructible. The lid features anti-slip traction pads and can easily support the weight of an average adult standing on it. It is specifically built for rugged outdoor use, including fishing and camping.

The RTIC Tundra 45 has enough internal capacity to hold up to 36 standard 12-ounce cans when using the recommended 2:1 ice-to-can ratio. The '45' in the name refers to the interior volume in quarts, not the liquid capacity of the cooler itself. It is the perfect size for a weekend camping trip.
