Yeti Roadie 20 Features and Specifications
As with all Yeti Coolers, the Roadie 20 cooler is made from Yeti’s finest materials. It comes with the InterLock lid system which forms a barrier between the interior and external elements. The T-Rex Lid latches ensures that the lid is securely closed. Roadie 20 Yeti Cooler has the ColdLock Gasket locks which seal the temperature inside the chest cooler. There is nothing like the Roadie cooler that has the same feature as PermaFrost insulation. It allows pressure inside so that ice stays intact for longer period not to mention the FatWall designed – the 2.5-inch polystyrene insulator closely sealed with the stretchy ball and socket clasp on the lid plus freezer gasket seal to complete the insulator system.

Roadie Pros
Impressive Ice Retention Capacity-
In our ice retention test the Roadie lasted around 4 days, when filled to capacity. Roughly 20lbs of ice will fill this cooler to capacity. When matched up against similar sized coolers, the Roadie finishes among the top coolers.
Very Portable and Durable-
You can bring Roadie cooler just about anywhere without hassle. It’s highly compact and very easy to fit whether you’d place it inside the trunk, the backseat or simply tie it behind your back when riding a motorcycle. It works almost like a little mobile refrigerator.
Great Investment-
If you’re looking for long-lasting, premium quality coolers, you have to get Roadie 20. You won’t ever regret spending every penny with this item. However, if you intend to leave this in your truck, you might want to consider locking the cooler to the bed of the truck so as to prevent sticky fingers from walking away with your precious cargo.
Multi-Purpose-
Although small, this cooler is quite versatile. Take it for daily use as a lunch cooler or use it for road trips. You can also use this to keep meat products for short duration when planning a picnic or camping with your friends.
Cons
Heavy- It’s heavy when loaded. Also, the metal handle grip may smack your knee each time you need to transport the chest cooler. Therefore, if loaded down, consider having a friend help carry or at lease be cognizant of the handle.
Expensive- Sold for over $200 (check current pricing), you’d simply say that Roadie is not that economically-friendly. But considering the long-term benefits, you will soon realize that you might actually save cash. This unit can keep your food fresh so you won’t have to shell out cash in the event your food spoils or in purchasing more ice.
