RTIC soft pack is awesome for a couple of people on a day trip. I have the 30 can version. The ice will last at least 24 hours in any condition & I usually leave it onboard overnight so I have an ice cold water when I wash the boat the next morning. I have ordered the 20qt hard one but it's backordered. It was supposed to ship by 6/30 but now it's been delayed until September. They did offer an additional 20% off if I was willing to wait... which I am!There not that great. I bought one that i was going to use on trips for the kids and it didn't work as i had hoped. I found out after I bought it that it only cools to about 10 degrees below the outside temp. I am getting an rtic sof cooler which are the same as the yeti but 1/2 the price
Good to hear. I wanted to get 2, 1 for drinks and 1 for food, unfortunately they quit making the soft bag type because of a lawsuit with yeti. I have to get the hard side soft coolers. Oh well!RTIC soft pack is awesome for a couple of people on a day trip. I have the 30 can version.

True but they started making them again, allegedly with a redesign. I got mine this spring. Check the site again. Well wirth the wait. It's actually improved from the old version IMO. The catch with RTIC is that you have to wait a while as they seem to secure large pre-orders before a production run as opposed to carrying the inventory. Great idea on 2 though. I would love to carry 2 but I'm limited on convenient space on the 19'Good to hear.

That thing is crazy... I don't need anything like that. But Could use a 40 or 35I have a Dometic CFX95DZW (https://www.amazon.com/Dometic-CFX95DZW-Electric-Powered-Freezer/dp/B07215RMJG) which replaced a Wynter FM-65G (https://www.amazon.com/Whynter-FM-65G-65-Quart-Portable-Refrigerator/dp/B002W8DM5I). The Wynter was left full of bait for two weeks without power after hurricane Irma and I could not get the smell out.
The Dometic dual zone is awesome, however I have not used it on the boat. I put an outlet in the covered bed of my pickup and use it to transport frozen fish and lobster from FL to MI. It is compressor driven and you can mix the zones between fridge and freezer. It cools to and maintains -8F whether on 110 or 12v power, regardless of the ambient temp.
I did not pay the price listed on Amazon, I think it was around $850 when I bought back in Jan.
